I adore the name Harlow. I want to name my daughter that in the future. I also am trying to find other names that are "Old Hollywood" so that my future daughter Harlow's future siblings can have names that "go with" Harlow. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I can't be too much help. The only other one I know about is Audrey (which you listed) and I can't use that for certain reasons. I wish you the best of luck though!

Thats too bad. I guess I should look into more beautiful and less popular names!

My mothers name was Betty and I kinda sorta like the name. I asked a young kid at work if any body at his school was named Betty and he said no. Not a one Betty in the bunch.
Part of me wants to bring it back. I think cute chick when I think Betty. My neighbor in the next office at work thinks Old Lady or Tramp when he hears it.
I don't know, I just think that it'll make a statement, but at the same time something modern would be classy too!
