Thoughts of the name Estile for a boy?

I quite like the name and would probably spell it Estille or Astille. What are your thoughts? And yes I did get the idea from Lisa Moorish who named her son Astile. I know its not to everyone's liking but I've grown to love it.

I'm sorry, I know names are very personal but I too think that it's a very girly sounding name. I also think that pronunciation makes me think of arsehole - although that may be me being a bit of a potty mouth Blush!!

It's not a name.

And it sounds like something you would call a girl- which he will not thank you for.

Not a clue who the Lisa person is, but I wouldn't use it. It doesn't sound very masculine, or, indeed, very nice.

Estile looks a bit like and sounds a lot like Estelle, so might be confused for a girl. Astile looks an sounds a bit less like Estelle.

Is it a real name? I read that Pete Doherty made it up from a mish mash of letters from the names Pete and Lisa (Moorish) his son's Mum.

Not good, sorry. It sounds like 'I steal'. Plus, I wouldn't take inspiration from Pete Doherty in naming a baby.

How do you pronounce it - and who on earth is Lisa Whotsit? Blush

Estille sounds like the girls name Estelle. Astile sounds a bit too much like ass for my liking but if slebs are using the name it might become mainstream.
