Your thoughts on the name Harley??

[mummyjanine]

We have a baby boy due in weeks and we haven't got a name picked! Did love Finlay but it's so common... And liked Khylan/Kylan but would be annoying correcting it all his life. What's your thoughts on Harley? Or any other unusual names you can give me??

Harley is a motorbike - does that image fit what you are aiming for?

Other names not in frequent use now: Roy, Neil, Nigel, Jeremy, Ptolemy, Aethelstan, Auberon

Motorbike or chihuahua.

And I only know two Finns, both of them grown ups.

sorry but not good. see boden thread.....

Harley sounds a bit dated to me. Like something Mick Jaggered might have used for his child way back in the mists of time.
The k name is bad. Finlay is nice, but overused, as you say.

Harley sounds naff. Like the hero in a Danielle Steele novel.

The K names aren't my cup of tea either, they sound like someone Flash Gordon would do battle with.

John?

Sorry, I don't like it.

Finlay, despite it's popularity, is a million miles better than the other two.

Harley is awful. A real trailer park name.

Khylan sounds completely made up and like a 4th tier boy band member.

Sorry I don't like it.
It makes me think motorbike or Staffordshire bull terrier.

Most K names for boys are hideous imvvvho!

Harley is vile.

Finlay is nice.

How about

Elliott
Cooper
Logan
Harrison

Jackson

Arthur? Is has some of the same sounds as Harvey, but it's more classic.

I really don't like Harley or the K names, I'm afraid. Finlay's OK.

There are 2 Harley's at DS' school, both girls.

I know lots of Finlay's but only one actually gets called their whole name, I know a Finnan too.

I'm not keen on Khylan (i assume pronounced like Rhylan?).

I'm not going to say why I don't like the name Harley - but I wouldn't use it at all.

I don't like Harley much and more importantly the Harleys I know are girls. I like Finlay and only know 1.

Harley is awful- sorry!

I agree with everyone else. Conrad? Elliott? Magnus? Are all a bit less traditional. Or on another level: Merlin, Gawain

Harley is a pets name
If you don't want to be stuck emphasising spelling pronunciation not khylan,kylan

How about
Rylan
Huxley
Ashley
Linley
Kai

I like Conrad....

I like Harley, but it's not that unusual, if something unusual is what you are looking for (it was in the top 50 boys names last year).

I also don't mind the sound of Kylan, but it looks totally "made-up" to me, so that puts me off.

I'm not keen in Finlay, it seems very trendy at the moment.

How about...

Layton
Oakley
Hadley
Declan
Reuben
Bailey
Corey

Heath is lovely!!

Not so keen on Harley, sorry.

What about Harvey instead of Harley?
