I know 1 Harvey and a fair few Max's.

Harvey it is.

chipo · 29/10/2008 17:26

Harvey for me.

LouMacca · 29/10/2008 17:39

Harvey is v. popular here at the moment.

I would go for Max.

frazzledoldbag34 · 29/10/2008 17:40

Harvey is lovely

Liffey · 29/10/2008 17:40

don't like Max for some reason - Harvey I think - although slightly chavvy imo - but much better than Harley

ramonaquimby · 29/10/2008 17:59

both are pretty popular at moment
prefer max

lljkk · 29/10/2008 17:59

Max is cool.
Harvey is a 1970s cop with a mustache (I used to know one exactly like that, back in the 1970s when I was 6yo)

Tigerschick · 29/10/2008 18:02

Not a huge fan of either - I know one of each and neither of them are particularly nice boys - but if I had to choose I'd say

Max

annasmami · 29/10/2008 18:46

Both way too popular for me.

LuLuBai · 29/10/2008 19:14

Love Max. Every Max I have ever met has been gorgeous.

yarooo · 29/10/2008 19:16

i'd expect a harvey to be wearing hair gel and too-big jeans rolled up

his mum would hope he'd go to stage school

LuLuBai · 29/10/2008 19:23

I think Johnny Vaughan's dog might be called Harvey.

UmMwahahahaaaaa · 29/10/2008 19:24

Like both and Harvey is our ds's middle name.

It was on my list anyway (have liked it since MC Harvey from So Solid Crew to my shame ), and then we found that it is the 'family' middle name as dh has William Harvey as an ancestor (slightly more illustrious ).

Stage school, pah. Straight to X Factor for us

noonki · 29/10/2008 19:37

Max for me

I wonder if it just certain areas that they are popular in. I work in a primary school and i don't know one single Max or Harvey.
