I used to babysit a Harley, she was lovely and still is

Needalifeoverhaul · 20/09/2017 11:49

Sorry but I really don't like it. I prefer more feminine sounding names personally.

Farahilda · 20/09/2017 11:50

I'd assume the parents were bikers.

VeryIdentifyingTatt · 20/09/2017 11:54

My youngest is called Harley. Everyone seems to like it and I think it suits her but she does have a more feminine middle name she can use when she's older if she doesn't feel the same.
As for the biker comment, me and DP are both alternatives but also huge comic book fans and we love batman (Harley Quinn).

Harley Quinn

Monkeypuzzle32 · 20/09/2017 12:05

I adore it for a boy-if I was having a boy that's what he'd be called!

user1480267413 · 20/09/2017 12:07

peculiar name for a child! Fine if it is a motorcycle!!

PandaCat · 20/09/2017 12:17

I've always seen it as a girl's name rather than a boy's. I know one in her 20s.

pipilangstrumpf · 20/09/2017 12:18

Not my taste, sorry.

mangomama91 · 20/09/2017 12:32

I quite like it :)

Possumfish · 20/09/2017 12:38

I know a Harley.... personally don't like the name. Each to their own though! The one I know was named after Harley Quinn...even though the mum insists she wasn't ...

JessyLpv · 20/09/2017 12:41

how about Riley? Smile (girl)

I know a Harley in her early 20s, it's a nice name

TheDodgyShoesOfDrFoster · 20/09/2017 14:03

It's ok so long as your surname isn't either Davidson or Street.

MineKraftCheese · 20/09/2017 14:10

Love Riley. It's the name of he girl in Girl Meets World.

Sophronia · 20/09/2017 22:03

I know a Harley and a Harleigh, both in their 20s.

Smoliver · 21/09/2017 18:38

I like both Harley and Riley. I prefer Riley though

buttercup54321 · 21/09/2017 23:26

Horrible!!

Buntysoven · 21/09/2017 23:36

Harley is good.. Riley is horrible!

HappyLollipop · 21/09/2017 23:39

I like Harley and Riley as it suits both genders, my friends little girl is called Riley and it goes well with her attitude I think!

feelinmightylow · 21/09/2017 23:39

No

silencepls · 22/09/2017 00:24

Harley deffo

MajesticWhine · 22/09/2017 03:42

We knew a boy called Harley. I don't like these kinds of names. But Riley is slightly better.

Pemba · 22/09/2017 04:28

Motorbikes. Riley is worse though.

Call me old-fashioned, but I do prefer actual girls' names, and your daughter probably would too, given the choice.
