    I think it is a real bogan name - ie: that child would be branded as a bogan and treated as one before people had the chance to find out otherwise (or alternatively, whether they were correct in boganifying him ).

    Incidentally, Harley is actually an old English name meaning "meadow" or "from the Hare's Wood" (how surpirsed was I to find the well spoken retired-barrister father of the bride at a wedding I went to once was a Harely!)

    As for Holden, it too is an old english name meaning "deep valley".

    "Calais" Greek, meaning "chaging colour" (or something similar).

    I have a good friend called Porsche, went to school with a Calais and also a Ford. There is a Harley and a Mercedes in my sons class at school.
    I think names are a personal thing and it doesnt really matter where the name originated its how it suits the child.
    Corban was actually a brand of Wine in NZ and I got Ardyn from Elizabeth Arden. I never think of those things when I use their names just like I dont think of boys scouts when I call Scout.

    Sorry to anyone who is thinking of using it, but I think it's terrible. And the nick name Chev makes me think of Chevvie Chaise...no thank you. I can't stand him.
