Harley is a name that is very easily associated for many people. Many people will think you named your child (regardless of sex) after the motorcycle company.
If it is a girl, an equal number of people will think you named her after Harley Quinn, the comic book character.
Things to consider, especially if neither of those associations are wanted.
I have a female cousin named Harley after the motorcycle company. My boyfriend suggested Harley as a huge batman fan. I know of a guy named Harley but I associate it with female.
I think it goes both ways, and I LOVE Harlie for a girl, but my DH pretty much nixed it because we already have a fur baby named Harley, haha! And obviously that'd be a little strange to have a dog Harley and a baby Harley. Anyways.. Think it's a great name either way
@jmassoni85 do you work on the soft good or hard good side? I know a few people at Harley through the industry on the soft goods side, small world!
Just seconding what a PP said, I think Harley has become so popular for pets that I don't see it used on baby's as much. It's a nice name. Are there any others you are considering?
I'm in a dealership in the bay area its one of the oldest in the world. So not corporate Harley @Jmdavin Its funny I've only known one person with that name though in relation to the industry. But to be honest I have tons of customers that name their dogs Harley
Ah ok. I get a lot of tourist from all over the US we are a popular stop for Harley enthusiast, and Chicago is definitely one of them, I believe I had a recent group from there ride in from doing a US journey. If you DH takes lessons you could be a hot Harley momma
We are not dead set on the name; just something I was throwing around. Hubs has and loves Harley's and I actually like the name so thought it could be an option. Another name we have in the running is Jameson, which I think more friends and family like.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to repsond and for your input!
