Bailey for a girl?

[ClaireeeJ15]

Opinions? Middle name would be Olivia - Bailey Olivia Jones... Maybe Baylie, if Bailey is too masculine?

[Vixxfacee]

Bailey is very 1999 to me. Olivia Bailey is cute.

[ClaireeeJ15]

Yeah, if everyone hates it - she would be Olivia Bailey (Baylie)!

I prefer Olivia as first name.

Bailey reminds me of Bill Bailey and I'm not keen on surnames as first names.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Really dislike Bailey, sorry.

[flickyhair21]

I like it.
DNiece is Bailey and will be 8 this spring.

[justonemorethread]

I know a lovely 9 yr old bailey never thought of her name being odd

[Zhabr]

Old Bailey will be my first association.

[Sofiria]

I know of several boys under the age of 8 called Bailey/Bayley. It's too surnamey for my tastes. Olivia is lovely, though. I much prefer Olivia Bailey to Bailey Olivia, and prefer the Bailey spelling to other variants.

[Doublebubblebubble]

It's common where I am (outskirts of London) I know 4! 3 boys 1 girl x I like it though x

[Kcat78]

Really like Bailey and immediate thought is female rather than male. I had a hamster called Bailey as a child - she was very pretty! :)

[SoWhite]

I don't like it, to me it goes in a category with Chardonnay, Chanel and other drink or brand names!

[ClaireeeJ15]

Thanks :) yeah, not sure on it now :( I think her first name will be Olivia and we will consider Bailey for the middle - we will probably pick a different spelling...

[UmbongoUnchained]

I went to school with a Baileigh. I like it.

[temporarilyjerry]

This is really not to my taste but I taught one several years ago who used the spelling Bayleigh. This would be my preferred spelling.

[ClaireeeJ15]

I really like the Bayleigh spelling

[mrsschu]

Absolutely dreadful. For a boy or a girl. Reminds me of that 90's American TV show Party of Five. Olivia is far better.

[imwithspud]

I quite like it. I don't like the 'Bayleigh' spelling of it though. Much prefer Bailey/Bayley.

[pilates]

Olivia is ten times better.
Baylie, Bailey, Bayleigh are awful.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Don't start messing with the spelling.

[LemonBreeland]

Bailey is not great. Start messing with the spelling then it becomes even worse. Olivia is a lovely name.

[RidersOnTheStorm]

Dreadful, especially if misspelled.

[GruntledOne]

Bayleigh is truly awful. Echoes of things like Kayleigh, Kyleigh etc. Stick with Olivia Bailey.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I quite like Bailey. Olivia is pretty but I'd definetly choose Bailey over Olivia.

[Wolfiefan]

Olivia is nice. Why choose a youneek spelling for Bailey?!
