Harley or Harleigh for a girl

[MamaToAli]

Which one seems more feminine?

Harleigh is horrible. Harley is fine. The world needs to stop with this idea that certain names are "feminine" "masculine".

Neither! It should be on a banned list

Both terrible.

Sorry, it's neither from me as well. Spelt both ways, I would assume that you have a DS not a DD.

Harley

Neither for a girl sorry.

only heard it as boys name

Harleigh will constantly be misspelled so Harley it is.

As you have seen loads of people will judge both her and you negatively if you use these names, just ignore them and do what you want to do.

I really like masculine sounding names for girls, there is no reason girls all need to be pink and frilly.

I think Harley is a lot better than Harleigh.

Neither. Give her a girl’s name.

The name is cute!

Don't let name association deter you from choosing the name.
I love the name Donatello for my son and everybody is telling me not to because it reminds them of ninja turtles. Using it anyway

Don't let it hinder your choice.

I would assume Harley the more regular spelling. LOVE the Harley Davidson AND Harley Quinn references, so I would think your daughter, even before meeting her, would be cool as fuck!

Don’t forget that most posters here will only be able to cope with top ten samey names, and get very opinionated about it, poor loves. Couldn’t possibly venture into the ‘unknown’. Such sad pathetic little worlds they live in 😂😂😂😂😊

If you’re set on the name, then Harley.

If you like the sound but want something that will elicit fewer negative reactions (on here at least!), what about Carly?

Harleigh’s awful. Harley’s a bit better but not feminine as it’s a boys name.

I know a "Harleen" and she's known as Harley for short x

What about Harlequin? Shortens nicely to both Harley and Quinn. Downsides being that it means mute clown in French and it's a firmly unisex name, which doesn't appear to be what you're looking for.

Harley is the way you spell the name. It has a nicer meaning than Harlequin but is, again, a unisex name so not particularly feminine. You might want to look elsewhere if you want a feminine name.

I know a Harley I went to school with and she was very popular, no one ever teased her about the name so I don't think bullying would be an issue. I know a couple of younger Harley's too and they are both girls.
I agree with PP if a name isn't in the top 100 or so then it's either "chavy" , "horrible" "boys name" etc according to Mumsnet.
I think it's a cute name

I like Harley, seems a strong name, not too cutesy, not overused.

Describing someone’s choice of name as chavvy and common as muck is just bloody rude. There seems to be a very narrow selection of names that pass as ‘acceptable’ to some on here.

I just thought of it as a name (no associations) its not my choice but thats not my problem. Would spell the conventional way as she'll be forever correcting it otherwise.

Harley definitely, although not to my taste. Harleigh looks awful.

Is go with Harley too.

Neither. Harley or Harleigh are naff and definitely uncool and downmarket.

Harley is a bit better than Harleigh, though.

It sounds like a boys name. A boy destined to want a Harley Davison.
