Not a fan.

ReggaetonLente · 12/01/2018 19:07

It's the name of our well loved local hospice.

If you're in Essex, or ever likely to be, I wouldn't because of that connotation.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 12/01/2018 19:08

That really isn't a name...

Candyandpop · 12/01/2018 19:09

Pronounced in the same was as Farley biscuits?

Cupcakegirl13 · 12/01/2018 19:10

It's a surname

PsychoPumpkin · 12/01/2018 19:10

That’s a Rusk, is it not?

MikeUniformMike · 12/01/2018 19:11

Awful sorry. Farley is better but makes me think of rusks or Charley Farley.

The -leigh ending would make people think it was a girl's name.
k2p2k2tog · 12/01/2018 19:11

Rusks.

And not a name.

dontbesillyhenry · 12/01/2018 19:12

Utterly ridiculous please don't

viques · 12/01/2018 19:12

Psycho I was just going to say as long as your surname isn't Rusk ! Or indeed as long as there isn't a sibling called Harley, or Marley, or even Charlie.

scotsmumof1 · 12/01/2018 19:14

personally not a fan, but what about Harley?

backformore · 12/01/2018 19:16

Ok, then! Was thinking after the wood engraver, John Farleigh. But yes, it was his surname.

Yes it’s a hospice

Shadow1986 · 12/01/2018 19:24

Thought if rusks straight away sorry

TroysMammy · 12/01/2018 19:25

The Two Ronnies characters Charlie Farley and Piggy Malone.

Pickleshickles · 12/01/2018 19:25

I know a little Farley. First thought on hearing it was "rusk"

DullAndOld · 12/01/2018 19:26

Farley's rusks?

Also the name of a Rottweiler that bit me.

Not good.

treaclesoda · 12/01/2018 19:28

My first thought was of Farley Jackmaster Funk. Sorry.

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/01/2018 19:29

Rusks?
No, don't.

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 12/01/2018 19:32

I like Farley. :)

Julie991 · 12/01/2018 19:36

Please don't ! He'll be nicknamed "Fartleigh" by the end of fist day at school .

BunloafAndCrumpets · 12/01/2018 19:48

I used to live in a East Farleigh in Kent, least friendly place and pub I've ever encountered. So it's a no from me!

AuntieStella · 12/01/2018 19:50

Charley Farley and Piggy Malone....

Better than a rusk, I suppose

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 12/01/2018 19:51

Just No.... Rusks pop to mind!Grin

buttercup54321 · 12/01/2018 22:32

A lifetime of being mistaken for a rusk.
