I think you should take two or three combos to the hospital with you and decide on a combo after meeting your baby. Good luck!

I like the suggestions of Marlow and Delaney, and from your list Harlow is my favorite. What if you did Charlotte nn Charlie? It has the tomboy nn that sounds like Harley (you could even just call her Harley) but also the classic feminine fn to fall back on. Another suggestion would be Marlena- nn Marley or Lena/Laney for a more feminine girl. Also, you might like Shiloh nn Shy? From your list my favorite combos are: Harlow Ann and Rowan Claire

Why do you new and soon to be Moms spend so much time finding the perfect name and then cover up that beautiful perfect name with a NICKNAME?....I dont get it----whats so hard about calling your child the lovely name you struggled to put together just so pefectly?...If you have a nickname you love, why wrap it in a bigger name you dont love...Just name your baby what your gonna call him or her---Nick names are sometimes silly..I just dont get it---

What about Harmony nickname Harley? Something like Harmony Claire would give you Harley, but would still be feminine.

Because a lot of nicknames sound silly on an adult and we want to give them the option of having a full, professional sounding name to work with as an adult?

Have you thought of Hadley? Hadley Ann is pretty.

Love Harlow. Harley makes me think the the motorcycles, don't like Rowan or Harper
I can't imagine shortening Harlow. I've found that most don't automatically shorten names unless they have traditional nicknames. Harlow doesn't have any traditional nn like Catherine or Elisabeth

I don't care for the flow of Harlow Anne, Harlow Claire is nice
Harlow Eve
Harlow Adele
Harlow Eden
Harlow Pearl
Harlow Camille
Harlow Estelle
Harlow Maeve

Harley also reminds me of motorcycles, and therefore feels masculine. I do really like Harlow, and hope somehow you can convince your dh- perhaps after he watches you deliver a baby he'll feel like doing something nice. Especially since he doesn't mind it in the middle spot, that means he doesn't dislike it THAT much. Interesting to note though, that the little girl that does the voice of Peppa Pig (the most adorable British cartoon, if you're not familiar with it) is named Harley Bird, and she's certainly quite girly and cute in any of the interviews where I've seen her.
