Your thoughts on the name Harley??

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??

Not very keen on Harley. How about Henry or Harvey?

HyvaPaiva · 17/01/2014 08:26

I really don't like the name Harley, sorry.

pygmy · 17/01/2014 08:28

Also, I have come across quite a few girls called Harley or Harleigh.

AngryBeaver · 17/01/2014 08:29

Not good.

newyearhere · 17/01/2014 09:36

I like Harley.

curiousgeorgie · 17/01/2014 18:02

Chavtastic. If that bothers you...

I know a little boy called Harley and he is a lovely little boy, I always associate the name with him, So yes....I like it,

I know a boy called Harley too, very nice boy.

It's an old english name meaning 'meadow' I think.

My god daughter is called Harley, after her dad's motorbike.

JustAnotherChristmasBauble · 17/01/2014 18:13

Around here there are many many Harleys, it's really common.
I'd not go for it just because of that, personally.

Hideous

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/01/2014 18:39

Really dislike it, sorry. But even that is better than Kylan imho.

I think it'll be one of those names that dates really quickly...

There was a Harley on the ward when I had dcs but she was a girl.

Astarael · 17/01/2014 21:16

The baby Harley I know has brothers Finlay and Riley. I like Riley better than Harley. Really like Finlay.

hawkmcqueen · 17/01/2014 21:43

What pygmy suggested - Harvey instead. Very similar but is actually a classic name.

rubyflipper · 17/01/2014 22:17

Oh dear - A chorus of 'No's'

I feel sorry for the OP.

BEEwitched · 17/01/2014 22:20

I like Harley for a girl but don't like it nearly as much for a boy, sorry!

nikki1391 · 19/01/2014 15:15

I am personally not keen on harley I know 2 boys by that name and it doesn't suit them at all. I prefer Harvey

MrsRV · 19/01/2014 20:08

what about Flynn instead of Finn?

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/01/2014 20:04

I think Harvey is nicer than Harley.

Finlay is lovely though.
