[Opinions] Harley
What do you picture when you hear the Harley? What vibe does it give you? What sort of person do you imagine? What does it make you think of?
Thank you for your time! :)

dreadfully unattractive. I hate very few names but this is definitely one of them. It makes me think of a mechanic that beats his wife and children. (nothing wrong with being a mechanic, but specifically a mechanic that never baths and is physically abusive, THAT is how I imagine Harley)

Vibe like Brandy, Ricki, Kasey, Jordan, Saylor - I picture someone teen or college age. Bright, friendly, gentle, fun, spirited, maybe sporty. It's not a "classy" or ambitious / professional vibe. If male, I picture an old farmer.It makes me think of 1. motorcycles. 2. the comic book character Harley Quinn (a vulgar image). 3. barley, Farley (to me Farley is a dog name), Marley (like Bob).I have met a Harley. She was born around 2002, I think? A nice, typical white American girl from a prosperous blue collar family. The name fit, I guess. I feel it is a little bit unfortunate because the motorcycle association is too strong to forget.

..DavidsonI know (of) a few biker’s who named their son or daughter Harley. I think the name works for either gender.

It's ugly, and I hate the association with motorcycles (and, by extension, biker gangs).

Harley is a nice name, in my opinion. I actually think that it would be very handsome on a guy, who is into sports and music. Also, as others have stated, I definitely think of the motorcycles.

Makes me think of Harley Quinn, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's alright. I don't prefer it to similar names like Hayley or Harvey though.

Desperately image conscious guy, convinced he's super cool when all he really elicits are eye rolls.

We had a Harley way back when before our daughter was born. I liked those vibes. :)
I've known of too many pets named Harley to be able to really take it seriously as a person's name now.
My nephew has a little girl in his class named Harley quinn, fn and mn. I'm sure her parents thought they were being very cute, but they're wrong.

Toe-curlingly awful! Poor kid. And it's not even original: Agatha Christie wrote a couple of stories about a mysterious man named Harley Quinn who came and went unexpectedly, solving murder mysteries on the way.ETA My bad - I've just checked, and the Christie character was Mr Quin.

Quite so. Always on hand to help Mr Satterthwaite!

I believe the character is a Marvel or DC superhero, one of their endless collection.
