Thoughts?

Sorry but it's a bit too "chavtastic" for my liking!

Middleagedmotheroftwo · 01/10/2014 11:26

Chavtastic, and sounds too much like harlot. Harley would be marginally better, though I still don't like that really.

CitronVert · 01/10/2014 11:26

Not my cup of tea but if you like it then spelling it Harley would prevent lots of frustration throughout her life.

HattyMonkey · 01/10/2014 11:27

I know a couple of little boys called Harley they are 3 and 6. Don't know any with that spelling though. I am not a fan of tinkering with spellings to look original to be honest.

Boy or girl?

Harley makes me think boy. Rae makes me think girl. If you think switching the "y" ending for an "ie" makes the name feminine, I don't really agree.

AuntieStella · 01/10/2014 11:29

Harley makes me think 'motorbike'

skylark2 · 01/10/2014 12:24

It looks rather as if the C fell off the front.

Not a fan.

Behoove · 01/10/2014 12:26

That's my sisters dogs name. He is lovely though.

Sophronia · 01/10/2014 13:02

I'm not keen. Also, I know a boy Harley-Ray.

grocklebox · 01/10/2014 13:45

awful. Uneeq spelling of a not very nice name. And what is this new fashion for "Rae"?

ThursdayLast · 01/10/2014 13:46

Is Harley a name?

Madamecastafiore · 01/10/2014 13:46

Horrid.

usualnamechanger · 01/10/2014 13:47

Only if your surname is Davidson and you are naming a bike.

Floggingmolly · 01/10/2014 13:50

Godawful. What's the point? Confused You can be different without being crap.

WowserBowser · 01/10/2014 13:55

No, don't like it at all.

Rae is like 'Ooh Mae is a bit popular now - I know!! - I will use Rae'

CPtart · 01/10/2014 14:05

Dislike. Intensely.

iwantgin · 01/10/2014 14:08

No. The poor kid will have to constantly spell that out.

insanityscratching · 01/10/2014 14:22

No, awful. Hate the spelling,could only be made worse by hyphenating.

cherrybombxo · 01/10/2014 14:27

I hate "Rae" at the best of times but especially with a misspelled first name.

Heels99 · 01/10/2014 14:55

Girl or boy?

Is the question that will constantly be asked. Or are you choosing a name you can use for either? Covering all bases.

squoosh · 01/10/2014 15:19

I don't like Harlie but I do like Rae, but as a stand alone name not as an add on.

Montsti · 01/10/2014 15:24

Not to my taste, sorry!

tippytappywriter · 01/10/2014 15:28

No. But if you like it...

Naicecuppatea · 01/10/2014 15:29

Awful. Poor child.

AnythingNotEverything · 01/10/2014 15:29

If you have to spell your surname, be kind and give a more traditional first name.
