Awful. The Sharon/ Tracy of the 1990s

slithytove · 08/07/2014 08:01

Yay, can't see the chav label at all, certainly not with that spelling

SinglePringle · 08/07/2014 07:55

Awful.

Dizzywhore · 08/07/2014 07:53

Awful. Sorry!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 08/07/2014 07:52

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

MotherOfInsomniacToddlers · 08/07/2014 06:54

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!!

Batmansbuttocks · 08/07/2014 06:47

Awful and yes chavvy, sorry.

ZacharyQuack · 08/07/2014 06:45

Hayley would be nice with your surname.

burgatroyd · 08/07/2014 06:43

Its alright!

Was the kind of name I wanted to be called as a teenager. That and Joely.

icklekid · 08/07/2014 06:39

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

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

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

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?

Hairylegs47 · 07/07/2014 23:34

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

ZenNudist · 07/07/2014 23:29

Nay

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

Pico2 · 07/07/2014 23:28

Nay.

ThedoublelifeofDollyBrown · 07/07/2014 23:22

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

IHeartKingThistle · 07/07/2014 23:21

I like Kay on its own.

OldCatLady · 07/07/2014 23:18

Nay.

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

DorothyBastard · 07/07/2014 23:15

Nay

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2014 23:10
