Thoughts on Harvey

magpie1127

Harvey is my DH's middle name, and was his grandfather's name. I know it's fashionable in the UK, and I always love British names (I have spent a lot of time in the UK, and may be moving there within the next year).

Originally, I hated it, but it's kind of growing on me. Not pregnant, just wanted to hear what the general population thinks of it  

My brother's middle name (and two of my Uncles' names) is David. I thought Harvey David sounded nice.

I really like Harvey! It would be adorable on a young boy and very handsome on an adult. I also love that it's uncommon, so you wouldn't have to worry about Harvey sharing his name with three other boys in his class. However, I wouldn't use David as the middle name, because it sounds too close to Harley Davidson.

I prefer David Harvey

I'm kind of sitting on the fence with this one. Don't hate it but don't love it. I think with some time I would come around.

It seems like you normally have a more classic/ old fashioned style and I think of those style of names I like this one more then most I've heard.

Uh - good point! Harvey David is out!

It reminds me of an old movie "Harvey", where the main character had an imaginary friend, Harvey, a 6 foot rabbit. It's a positive association for me.

It's okay. I like Howard (Howie) a lot more and feel like they have a similar vibe. I'd keep it in the MN spot.

I automatically think Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, but rest assured I'm probably the only one. I'm not crazy about the name, but it's definitely not side eye worthy either! I would like it more as a middle name paired with a more traditional first name.

Dislike Harvey as a FN. If you must use it, make it a MN imo.

I would always think Harvey Dent. Two face Dent is not someone I would like to name my kid after. It's a nice name, but I always associate it to that. Bringing out the nerd in me.

Bahahaha, I thought of Sabrina too!

 I don't like Harvey.

My main association with this is my grandma's dog, but I still really like it. I also tend to love the names that are popular in England.

I taught a real brat named Harvey when I lived in England. Just thinking about him puts me in a bad mood.
Harvey's is also a hamburger fast food chain where I live.
