Came up on my other thread (H names) and I love this - didn’t think of it. Thoughts?

It feels quite dated to me.

Thereisasystem · 12/09/2019 09:43

Really dislike it sorry.

AverageMummy · 12/09/2019 09:54

Awful

Grew up near a Harvey. His dad was also Harvey. Never gave it a thought. It’s fine.

I really like it, it feels like a nice strong name

Frith2013 · 12/09/2019 09:59

No.

I have a six month old one asleep on me at the moment - it was the only name my husband and I agreed on. I wasn’t 100% sure until he was born but absolutely love it now.

Love it. Had it for both my 2ds but went for bailey and Frankie instead

Jossina · 12/09/2019 10:11

Nice, not too overly popular and an actual name not a nickname.

motortroll · 12/09/2019 10:12

It's great, not too popular but not weird!!

I absolutely wouldn't use it but there's no reason for that really it's just not my kind of name!

If you like it go for it, it's not in anyway ridiculous so why not?

Overweight balding, beer-swilling truck driver.

Is a giant rabbit

MissHenty · 12/09/2019 10:23

I think it’s really nice very masculine name

BikeRunSki · 12/09/2019 10:24

Is DH’s name. Also my very cool school Physics teacher. I only have positive associations with this name!

stealthbanana · 12/09/2019 10:25

Personally I think of either Harvey Weinstein or Katie price’s Harvey so not great associations. But if you like it go for it!

Nonmerci · 12/09/2019 11:32

Harvey Weinstein isn’t a great association. It was very popular in the noughties, haven’t heard it used as much recently. It’s an ok name, I don’t feel too strongly about it either way really.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 12/09/2019 11:38

Yes, Weinstein and Price are my first thoughts. Also giant white rabbit Grin

ALoadOfTwaddle · 12/09/2019 11:41

I really like it. Only ever met one.

womaninthedark · 12/09/2019 11:46

The last Harvey I met was a really gorgeous painter and decorator. From Yorkshire. Sadly, I wasn't able to employ him.

Katie Price Confused

TerribleCustomerCervix · 12/09/2019 11:53

Here’s the graph showing it’s popularity from the ONS stats- we’ve reached peak Harvey, it’s now falling again.

I’d avoid it, purely from having a name that makes my birth year very obvious myself.

Harvey
SallyWD · 12/09/2019 12:00

I love it!

finallychangedmyusername · 12/09/2019 12:06

I'm not a fan sorry, plus for me the Weinstein connection is too much.

MikeUniformMike · 12/09/2019 13:04

I like it.

NoSauce · 12/09/2019 14:16

Terrible.
