Nay.

Unfortunately it screams 'chav' to me (sorry for the use of the c word)

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim. How does it shorten to Kiki?

Chavtastic now (sorry) ok for older people as I think it was popular about 20-30 years ago.

It shortens because I know a most wonderful, funny, beautiful woman who is called Kayleigh and she shortened it to Kiki/Keeks! Grin

She's not a chav either.
Ha ha, I wonder if she's seen this thread??
Hmm

I prefer just Kiki Smile

I'd say nay. In that it feels a bit dated. It was made popular on account of the Marillion song wasn't it?

I like it but agree it's a bit dated. Too 90s early 2000s.
What does he like about it?

I think he heard me singing the song, the only thing is that surname is Kirwan...

Yay- and I'm a teacher who generally doesn't like K names. Not taught an unkind Kayleigh yet!

Awful and yes chavvy, sorry.

No sorry I have a lovely friend called Kayleigh who most definitely isn't a chav, (actually a doctor!) but I still don't like the name!!

Nay, dated to late 80s for me and sounds a bit'common'
