Your thoughts on... Harker?

[boudoiricca]

for a boy. It's a family name and I really like it, but am worried about potential nicknames...?

It makes me think of 'Hark at that' or 'Hark back'.

Not keen on it.

I think it would be a great middle name with the family connection, but as you can see fom the threads (Kay Harker etc) it is predominantly a surname. If that's OK with you then as others have said, go for it. I wouldn't personally. I don't think it is particularly likely to be ridiculed, but it may stand out at least a little bit.

it actually means shit or crap but you all intent on ignoring me

no.

sounds like a surname or made up.

why does 'usual' always have to equal 'naff'.

don;t like surnames as first names.

Harker Crow
Harker Bell
Farker

i googled images for 'Harker'
harker from Gay Gamer dot net

i cant even view that image

it does really mean shit or crap though

My granny used to refer to her hearing aid as her "harker", so I'm afraid I couldn't hear the name without thinking of a hearing aid!

harken the grouse!

I don' like it, but don't hate it, and it would be fine if I knew and liked the child.

Don't like it, it doesn't seem a real name.

I like it. It's a bit different, and it's really nice it's a family name. Go for it.
