[Opinions] Harley
I like this name best on a girl. What are your thoughts and opinions on the name Harley? What would you think/feel if your name was Harley or if you knew someone with this name?https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/227825

Harley pretty much immediately reminds me of “Stuck In The Middle”. (Jenna Ortega) It isn’t a bad association, but Harley is an okay name. Somewhat pretty actually. I used to spell it as Harli, though. On a boy the name is okay but I much prefer it on a girl.If somebody else had this name it’s whatever. If had this name I would probably feel neutral on it. Harley Ciara sounds pretty though.

I love this name for either gender, but I think I love it more for a boy. When I was younger, I remember having the biggest crush on a character named Harley in the show “Boy Meets World”, so this name is kinda nostalgic for me.

I did know someone with this name; now deceased, he was Harl*y Lee and Harley was a family surname. I thought it was unsuccessful.

Hmm... I like it on both genders. This name on a boy is traditional and handsome, while on a girl is cute and modern. Overall, I find it a little bland, since it's "surname-y" and there are more interesting names out there.It's fascinating that this name (on girls) was popularised by DC Comics' supervillain.

Harley is rarely a supervillain anymore, she's usually an anti-hero or even in her villain days, depicted as just another Joker victim.

Right, I forgot about Margot Robbie's role nowadays... thanks for reminding me. :)Either way, she is an iconic bearer of the name.
