OK, these names are ones that my friend has picked out for her baby on the way.

If its a boy she likes: Harley Emmett
or Tucker but she needs a mn

If its a girl she likes: Kylie Starlet
or Bonnie Alexis

I would like your opinions.
Thanks
CK

I like Harley fine, but I LOVE Tucker. Harley actually sounds kind of like a girl's name. Why not use Emmett for a middle...Tucker Emmett...sounds cute to me!

I hate Starlet, so I'd X that one out. What about Kylie Alexis? I don't think that Bonnie Alexis flows well, but I don't dislike either name...just the two of them together (does that make sense?).

My vote is for Tucker Emmett or Tucker Harley, OR Kylie Alexis or Bonnie Alexa.

I don't like Harley at all. I have known 2 girls (really don't like it for a girl) and a few dogs named that. All after the motorcycle BTW. Tucker is cute though. Tucker Emmett sounds fine, or just about anything can go with it.

Kylie is okay, a little trendy for my tastes, but not awful. Starlet is really really NMS though. Kylie Scarlett would be much more attractive IMO, or even better Scarlett Kylie.

I don't like Bonnie or Alexis and really don't like them together.

I don't like Harley at all, either, but I also don't like Tucker (I'm starting to think I'm rather picky when I look over my recent posts!) Bonnie reminds me of a dog our neighbor had when I was growing up, and Starlet? It sounds very 'stripper' to me. Emmett would make a nice middle name, in my opinion. It's true that Kiley is very trendy and over-used, but I prefer it above the other choices overall.

First of all I don't know where everyone thinks Harley sounds like a girls name, especially when it comes from a very masculine motorcyle.....
Anyway, Starlet anc Starla both sound like vegas showgirl names to me. And Bonnie just sounds a little plain to me, I've never really liked it. I've always thought that you should go with a name that will sound as good at 2yrs old as it will when they're 70. I kinda like Tucker, but I like Emmet better.

I'm honestly not overly keen on any of those names but taking into consideration that not everyone has the same taste as me here are my comments on the names your friend is considering.


Although, you would think Harley would be a more masculine name because of the bikes, the only Harleys I know are girls.

Of the mentioned names, only Eliza caught my eye. The others just sound too trendy. Just my thoughts! I wish your friend good luck!
