[Opinions] Harvey
Been watching suits lately and one of the characters names Harvey is relaly growing on me. I don't know if it really fits with our top 2 names and i've seen Harvey popping up in the birth announcements quite a bit lately. Do you like Harvey? Does it fit with our top 2 names: Theodore & Daphne.

Harvey fits with Theodore and Daphne but it is more nicknamey than the other two.
Harvey mostly feels very country and almost hillbilly-ish. BUT I think in the right pairing on the right person it could feel intelligent and collegiate.
How about Harvard "Harvey" with Theodore and Daphne?

It's my cousins name, he's 8. I really like it, but probably because of my cousin. It's quite common here in the UK I believe. I think it flows well with Theodore but not really Daphne.

Harvey is adorable! I think it's a great name.Theodore, Daphne, and Harvey work just fine together. Harvey stands out a little bit compared to the other two because it's only just beginning its revival while the other two are well on their way, but that's not a big deal.

I love Harvey. It's SO CUTE, but also handsome and sharp. I think it fits in with Theodore and Daphne very well.

I like it myself. I think of it as a more palatable, subdued version of the extremely retro Harley. It does go well with Theodore and Daphne.

To be 100% honest...the first thing that comes to mind is the restaurant chain called Harvey's, and the second thing that comes to mind is an overweight, loud man in his seventies or eighties. A google search just informed me that Harvey's only exists here in Canada, so I guess that's not an issue for you. However, fat old loud men exist everywhere. I obviously mean this in a light-hearted way. Harvey isn't a terrible name, but it does sound dated and unattractive to me. It would take meeting a really great guy with this name to make me possibly change my opinion.

Harvey just reminds me of a guy in like 1948 who was in the navy in the war. I really like that name, but when I've posted about it before, it didn't get great reactions here.

I like it. It's retro-cool.Because I see it as retro, I think stylistically it doesn't fit with Theodore and Daphne. But it sounds just fine next to them.

Maybe with Theodore, a little bit, but not with Daphne. In the US, Harvey is a very old-man name. Not old-man-trendy like Ezra or Jasper is right now, old like Otis or Lester. I don't like it.

I think Harvey fits with Theodore and Daphne. My first thought is of the love interest in the tv show Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It hasn't been on in a whole bunch of years, and I guess if you don't know the show, the association wouldn't matter.The name Harvey makes me think of a heart, too. Not a bad one. It definitely has potential to grow on me.
