WDYT of Lars?

Do you like this name?  Too scandinavian?  FWIW, we are blonde, if that matters? 

Other ideas are Coen or Harvey.  I know that some of you will flame Coen for sure!

    I'm honestly not a huge fan of Lars...it's not completely terrible though.

    I really like Coen. Maybe Coen Lars? 

    I really, really don't like Harvey though...remdinds me of a dog.....just my opinion though. Stick out tongue

    Lars reminds me of Lars Ulrich from Metallica.  I like it  :)

    I don't know why you'd choose Coen/Cohen if you know it's controversial.  Why give your child a name that may upset people his entire life? 

    Harvey makes me think of the play about the imaginary rabbit

    I like Lars best of those three names.

    I actually don't mind Harvey, but if you already have a son named Henry, I think they are too matchy.

    I think Scandinavian. Other than that it's ok. I wouldn't use it but it's a nice name.

    Not a huge fan of Lars or Harvey, but I don't mind Cohen (I like it spelled this way though).  Why in the world would it be considered controversial or upsetting??  Clueless here...

    Love Lars! (and a blonde kid named Lars would be ADORABLE)

    Harvey is very cute, too.

    Unless you're Jewish, I wouldn't go for Coen. There's a big controversy about non-Jews using that name.

    Lars is OK. I agree with a previous poster who said not to use Cohen unless you are Jewish. Harvey screams 70s-80s to me. How about Hans, Joel, or Bradley?

    Maybe I've been living in the South too long (I'm a transplanted Midwesterner) but Lars to me sounds like "liars" in a Southern accent.
    Harvey sounds pretty geeky and dated to me, I'm not gonna lie ... and not in a cool way.

    Have you tried Nymbler to find other names in your style?

    Thanks everyone.  I think we can all agree that I need to go back to drawing board! None of those names are going to work!
