Feel free to be totally honest, I need outside perspectives on our top chosen names at the minute! Smile

For a boy, at the minute we're leaning towards the name Harley with Isaac as a middle name.
For a girl we're leaning towards Amber with the middle name Faith.

We have plenty of time to dwell but need to know honest options before I get too attached to them!

Be careful of initials with Harley Isaac!

Pandora37 · 15/11/2014 12:28

I don't like Harley either, I love Isaac though.

Amber Faith is very pretty.

singersgirl · 15/11/2014 13:05

As Faith is a noun and Amber is often used as a colour, Amber Faith sounds like some kind of lukewarm religious belief (neither red nor green like traffic lights).

Bowlersarm · 15/11/2014 13:23

I don't like Harley at all.

I like Amber though.

BikeRunSki · 15/11/2014 13:28

How about Harvey or Harry ?

TheCowThatLaughs · 15/11/2014 13:43

I like Amber, faith and Isaac but not keen on Harley. It's a bit trendy.

Castlemilk · 15/11/2014 13:54

Have to say not keen on any of them, sorry.

How about Heath for a boy?

Amber is ok, it just sounds a bit 80s to me. I'd put it in with Kelly and Jade - dated and a bit naff.

What other girl names do you like? Could make similar suggestions.

Clarabumps · 15/11/2014 13:58

Isaac is nice. Amber is lovely. Harley is vile. Sorry. It sounds like a staffordshire bull terriers name.

BlueStarsAtNight · 15/11/2014 14:01

I agree with other posters, Isaac is really nice, but I don't like Harley at all.
Amber is ok but a bit on the tacky side, and Faith is ok as a middle name but not really a fan.

LoveVintage · 15/11/2014 14:02

I went to school with a boy called Harvey, he was really cool, and really suited the name.

I love Amber.

Spanielpuppy · 16/11/2014 13:55

Harley Isaac
Amber faith

Are all good names individually but not sure they go well together?

Spanielpuppy · 16/11/2014 13:57

Like sanilee''s suggestion of Autumn

insancerre · 16/11/2014 14:02

Don't like Harley
How about Bailey?

Riverland · 16/11/2014 14:06

Harley is ok. If you love it, use it. Isaac is a lovely name.

Amber is a bit meh. So is faith. But they are ok.

marleys · 18/11/2014 19:49

Thank you for all your opinions! And you have left some beautiful names for us to ponder so thank you for those. DH is being pretty stubborn with Harley but we have plenty of time to decide and look through Smile

Another one who doesn't like Harley.
What about Arlo?

serin · 18/11/2014 22:02

I like Amber Faith

Don't mind Isaac.

Strongly dislike Harley and think of it as a girls name.

FrogsGoWaaa · 19/11/2014 00:54

Not keen on Harley at all. Although I know it is also a boy's name, I knew a female one and would automatically think girl.

I heard of a baby Russell the other day which is quite unusual nowadays and seemed quite cool.

I quite like Amber but not a fan of Faith.

RaaRaaIsAnnoying · 19/11/2014 17:48

Isaac and Faith are great names. Harley and Amber are dreadful.

CormoranStrike · 19/11/2014 18:00

Amber Faith is nice.

Isaac is lovely, Harley is horrible, sorry.

CPtart · 19/11/2014 18:59

Harley is dreadful yet Isaac is lovely and the two do not go well together.
Amber, not keen. Nor Faith, but I do like Faye as a middle name.

thecaroline · 19/11/2014 19:55

I like Isaac. Harley is an American redneck name. Amber is tacky and decidedly downmarket. Faith is not my style at all.
