Harlow?

[wellnowthenmardybum]

Friend due a little boy soon wants me to ask mnetters opinion

She also as a daughter named Emmeline and is wondering if the names 'go'

No, they don't go. Harlow is horrendous and Emmeline is lovely. Anyone anywhere near London/the South will just think of the place, which isn't very nice!

They really don't go. I really don't like Harlow at all - Emmeline is such a pretty name though.

Any suggestions for names which do go?

I don't like Harlow as a name at all.

If she likes surnamey names, Marlowe (like the playwright) might be one for her to consider?

Because Brooklyn isn't bad enough. :(

Ha ha. I came on this thread to offer advice about the Princess Alexandra maternity - where I had my baby! It's in Harlow. As you were...

A friend has a baby called Harlan - don't know if that is much better mind to be honest (I always want to finish the name by putting a "d" on the end!)

Harlow is a very unattractive place in East Herts

It's not a name - Harlan is albeit American and the rapist in Thelma and Louise

Makes me think of that Margot Asquith / Jean Harlow quote about the t being silent.

Arlo?

Awful

Don't you mean Hawful onescoop?

Didn't someone famous call,their baby Preston?

Marlowe is gorgeous! Harlow just makes me think of the town. But YES to Marlowe. What a lovely name.

It's a new town near Stansted Airport. I think Nicole Richie may be aware of the connection though, because I think that's what she named her daughter. I wouldn't do it though!

Savoy indeed

Hawful

How about Barlow instead....

Barlow/Baylor. Hohum.

My husband is from Harlow (in North Essex, incidentally, not East Herts) and I think I can say without doubt that if you had been there, you wouldn't name anyone after it. Horrendous!

Baylow Bodrum Jeannie Grace boo boo....

Sorry Op

Don't like Harlow although love Emmeline.

I don't like Marlowe either as that also makes me think of the place (even with the added e)

Awful chavvy Sorry.

Don't like - it's one of those surnamey names which I mainly don't care for, with a few exceptions. As well as that, isn't it mostly used for girls?

I like Emmeline.

Colchester?

Harley?

That's what I thought of, too, puddock.

She was great for a bitchy quote!
