I don't really like it- it's a bit wishy washy for a boy and a bit butch for a girl. Unfortunately, I have oly heard it screamed in association with expletives which has put me right off it for either

Malory, your first reaction was exactly the same as mine but I'm too scared of being outed as the MC snob I really am (I blame my mother) to voice it that early in a thread.

The image I get in my head when I see/hear it is a child of a parent of the type differentID describes, which isn't an assumption I'd want people to make about my child.

No. No. No.
Sounds pretentious and makey-uppy to me.
Just a big fat no from me then.

I was nearly a Harley. My dad's name is David and yes, he did ride a motorbike.

Thank the lord I was a girl.

Janni · 01/09/2008 22:31

I really dislike it

Yimmy · 02/09/2008 12:07

My DS is Harley and it really suits him and I like it, I don't think its 'chavvy' at all ! Though I have come across the 'is your surname davidson' comments and people calling him Harvey, but you'll get comments no matter what name IMO

No.
