I'm due dc 3 in aug and my 3 year old daughter is convinced its going to be called Oakley. I didn't even think the name existed until I read another thread here about new born baby names! Is it a boy or girls name?

Tree, dog or sunglasses. Boy at a push, if I had to choose.

A tree on a cbeebies programme. Not a person name.

I agree with other posters - tree, glasses or dog.

Dog. Then if I had to say boy/girl, well boy I suppose.

It's the name of a road on a new-build executive home estate. Veto!

When I was a kid, Oakley was this moose-thing. www.flickr.com/photos/61544061@N04/7395142572/

My sister had one. I thought it was creepy.
