Hi,
In your opinion is Harley a boys name or a girls name? & where abouts are you from (if you don't mind sharing)

Thank you x

Boy - northwest. It's considered a bit "rough" where I'm from. A bit "pit bull and shaved head."

I know one boy and one girl with the name Harley, it’s a lovely name and they both really suit it x

I know one . He is a boy

ThickSkinnedSoWhat · 05/07/2023 22:28

Has become rather common for both where I am. I've even heard of a Harley-Quinn. That left me speechless. Not to my taste either way but each to their own.

The only one I know is a male dog

gogomoto · 05/07/2023 22:33

Ps their cat was called guzzi (Motoguzzi) and horse was called duke (Ducati) can you guess the husband's obsession???

Scotland I know two boys and one girl Harley. I see it as a unisex name

Beaverbridge · 06/07/2023 10:33

It's unisex. My granddaughter is Harley and she's gorgeous.

Boy. I've taught lots of male Harleys in London.

boy - yorkshire

I have a nephew called Harley but also know a little girl called Harley. I think it’s much more masculine though!

Dingdong90 · 06/07/2023 20:36

Honestly, i would happily use it for either ,it's like Bailey and reilly ...totally unisex and I wouldn't automatically assume gender of someone's kid if I heard the name being called out (central Scotland)

afrikat · 06/07/2023 20:41

Either. I love the name!

celticprincess · 06/07/2023 20:46

I know a boy and a girl. Both around the ages of 10 and 12. North east.

Jongleterre · 06/07/2023 20:46

London originally and Harley is a boys name.

I think the woman out of Wham and her husband have a daughter called Harley Moon? I might be wrong.

Jongleterre · 06/07/2023 20:48

Shirlie from Wham -

daughter Harley Moon Kemp

sodabreadjam · 06/07/2023 20:52

I know one - a girl aged 2 in Scotland. Not keen on it for a boy or a girl to be honest and I think unisex names can be confusing.

I tend to think of it in connection with motorbikes or as a dog's name.

Manthide · 06/07/2023 20:56

Know a little boy called Harley (SE England)

PaigeMatthews · 06/07/2023 20:57

I know a woman now in her 40’s. And teens of both sexes.

caringcarer · 06/07/2023 21:03
