These seem to be regarded as "stereotypical" Australian names. In fact, I would have been named Kylie had Mum had a girl.

Thoughts on Leonie and Kylie as names?

I prefer Leonie to Kylie, always have, but like both. I knew someone who was very keen on the name Kylie but at the last minute went with Michaela instead, (utterly irrelevant, sorry!).
What does your DP reckon?

I was leaning towards Leonie with my second pregnancy. DP wasn't keen at all.
Never knew it was a stereotypical Australian name! You learn something new every day

I think they sound nice together.

Leonie is cute. Kylie is umm, not so good.

I love Leonie, I'm biased though as its my DDs name :) It doesn't have the e on the end though. I chose it because of the reference to Lioness being the hunter and strong etc,

Dd is the only Leoni in her year group of 200 odd kids, but it seems to be getting more popular and there's two in my nieces reception class of 30.

Kylie sounds very 1990s. Leonie is much classier
