Eisley

[JanuaryJuniper]

What do you think of Eisley for a girls names (eyes lee)?

It's not really heard of over here I have become familiar with it from browsing American baby name blogs/sites!

I have a feeling it will get torn to shreds here

I like it and it's growing on me but I'm not sure if it would work over here!

[Gallavich]

No, really bad

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

I think you would be setting her up for a lifetime of having to correct pronunciation and spell it out every time she says it. Isla is easier but similar.

[00100001]

As long as you don't mind and don't think your daughter would mind doing a lifetime of:

Spelling the name out.
Saying the name for someone when they read it.
Correcting the pronunciation
Explaining the name.
Receiving a blank stare when the name is mentioned
Insisting that "no it is a real name"
"yes, my/her name really us Eisley"



Then go for it

I haven't heard it used as a name. It sounds unisex or male to me, but mostly reminds me of Star Wars! (the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine).

2/10

Not my cup of tea at all, and doesn't sound likes it's spelled either so it's a no from me.

[smashyourglasses]

I quite like this one.

[smashyourglasses]

The Isley Brothers is the only similar thing i can think of, which isn't a bad thing at all.

[Pallisers]

I'm in the US and have never heard of it and wouldn't think "oh what a lovely name" when I heard it. I'd presume it was a surname from the family being used as a first name.

[Topseyt]

Don't like it. It doesn't even really sound like a name.

[Marmalade85]

Sounds like Elvis Presley mushed together

[Floggingmolly]

Awful, sorry.

[ChippieFishieHorshie]

It's not particularly awful imo. But I'm not really convinced, tbh...

[Oysterbabe]

It does have that made up sound about it.

[JanuaryJuniper]

Ok ok, I had actually gone off it by the time I got back to the thread but that has doubly made me discount it. Thanks anyway

[Deadsouls]

No, it doesn't sound nice.

[squoosh]

Her brother would be Isley's Brother

[Floggingmolly]

squoosh.

[pieceofpurplesky]

I thought about the Star Wars cantina too.
How about Bexley - I know one and she sometimes shortens it to Bex. It's a similar style ...

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Isla is lovely OP, and similar.

[Thatextrainch]

I don't think it's terrible but I find it quite hard to say.

[Choccyhobnob]

purplesky my family are from Bexley

[pieceofpurplesky]

Choccy I have friends from there - it's a lot better than Mos Eisley though and can be shortened to Bex!

[BounceBounceSplishSplash]

Glad you've gone off it OP - it's a terrible name imo

[BasicBetty]

Too similar to Ainslie for me. Not keen, sorry.
