Give baby a name that will have them hopping around all day long. Harlea is a gender-neutral moniker with Old English roots. It can be traced back to the terms hara and leah, signifying “hare” and “meadow” or “woodland,” respectively. A variant of Harley, it was originally a locational surname for those living in areas of Yorkshire or Shropshire. When thinking of a nature-inspired name, the quick, point-eared creature is a great choice. Especially when you consider their young—called leverets—are cute little things with wide eyes, ready to explore the world. They are shy animals, so baby Harlea will likely have a close-knit group of friends whom they keep forever.
