Monty, fab name!

Ham69 · 28/12/2016 13:10

So what'a the verdict OP?
I love Monty.

1horatio · 28/12/2016 12:27

Monty is a great name!

Kyle however is really quite awful.
You could also use Montague or Montgomery?

I work with a Montague nn Monty and he's really lovely and exceptionally smart :)

MoreBushThanMoss · 28/12/2016 12:08

This is my Monty :

Monty or Kyle?
Brokenbiscuit · 28/12/2016 12:01

Don't like either, I'm afraid, but Monty is better than Kyle.

WaitrosePigeon · 28/12/2016 11:58

Could also be Montague on the birth certificate.

Monty is a name for a dog in my mind!

PeoniesPony · 28/12/2016 07:39

Monty

BitOfFun · 28/12/2016 02:59

Would it be Monty on the birth certificate, or Montgomery? Monty is great as a diminutive, but I wouldn't christen a child with a nickname.

Kyle is awful, and sounds like a cousin of Wayne Rooney.

DameSquashalot · 28/12/2016 02:45

Monty

HoHumming · 28/12/2016 02:07

Both names are on opposite ends really. Sort of like Jeremy or Jason. It will depend on your own personal taste.

My vote would be for Monty. I don't know anyone with either of these names although I know both Jeremys and Jasons!

MyWhatICallNameChange · 28/12/2016 01:43

Monty is lovely, and I know a cute little Monty.

I also know a lovely Kyle who is neither naughty or a thug.

Lovelybangers · 27/12/2016 22:05

Monty

WaitrosePigeon · 27/12/2016 21:46

Kyle reminds me of a thug.

I love Monty. My dog is called Monty. We wanted to call our son Monty but it didn't 'fit'. Really like Monty!

Mrspig86 · 27/12/2016 21:45

Definitely Monty!

BlossomHillOne · 27/12/2016 21:41

Kyle is awful.

Monty was my nickname for DS1 before he was born - wish I'd brave enough to use it!

FourKidsNotCrazyYet · 27/12/2016 21:37

Oh Monty! Definitely! I love it!!

DramaAlpaca · 27/12/2016 21:36

Kyle

buttercup54321 · 27/12/2016 19:54

Kyle. Knew a dog called Monty when I was a child.

MikeUniformMike · 27/12/2016 15:37

Monty sounds like it's a pet. Kyle is a no.
Monty Don is really Montagu.

hoddtastic · 27/12/2016 12:17

Kyle is really bad.

I really liked Monty (however OH vetoed it as apparently 'Uncle Monty is a terrible cunt' I think he's a character in a film)

Monty for sure if you are going with either or, Kyle is shaven headed, has an earring, and is naughty.

Biscuitsneeded · 27/12/2016 12:15

Monty. Kyle is a naughty boy name. Sorry!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 27/12/2016 12:13

I don't like either but kyle would have to have my vote as I know 4 dogs, a cat and a horse called monty

TheNaze73 · 27/12/2016 12:10

Monty, all day of the week.

Kyle is one of the worst names out there.
