Luke. MUCH nicer.

Luke is fabulous, I love it!

I know a couple of little girls called Harley.
I think it's one of those names that is crossing over into unisex/girl's name from being more a boy's name originally, and I would say that once they make the move in that direction, names can often end up getting more and more of a "girl" association as time goes by.

Luke.

Harley= Davidson.

Luke.

Harley is awful.

Floralnomad · 11/11/2015 18:23

Luke ,Harley sounds like a dogs name

FlapSnaps · 11/11/2015 18:24

Much prefer Luke

'Harley' reminds me that I'm excited to see Harley Quinn and the Joker in Suicide Squad next summer. I do see it as more of a girls name, but that doesn't matter if you like it.

I do prefer 'Luke' though. It's a safe name, it's classic but not overdone and it's unlikely to date.

Wow it's got to be Luke
?? Just need a middle name now haha will get there eventuallyGrin thank you everyone.xx

First time I've ever seen everyone agree on an MN thread!

GiddyOnZackHunt · 11/11/2015 23:27

If you have a sensible name like Luke then why not have Harley as a middle name? I know an ostensibly sensible Luke with an 'out there' middle name.

Another vote for Luke here, much nicer.

How about Luke Benjamin?

y0rkier0se · 11/11/2015 23:37

My cousin is a Harley. Wasn't keen at first but it suits him. I think Luke is a little 90's! Lucas seems to be coming 'back in'.

MoriartyIsMyAngel · 11/11/2015 23:38

Or, Luke Sebastian? I like longer middle names with short first names. But if you like Harley a lot, I agree that it would scan well with Luke!

CoffeeChocolateWine · 11/11/2015 23:38

Luke definitely. It is my favourite boys name ever and I'm still a bit bitter that I will never be able to use it (sounds terrible with my surname - starts with K and ends with K!)

Don't like Harley.

Luke

Harley is the name of my parents' cat. We also had a Davidson.
