Wonder is celidh is the new Skye or something it just doesn't look right though

Waddlelikeapenguin · 25/04/2017 23:44

No really no.
Elidh is lovely.

WeeM · 25/04/2017 23:37

This is really weird seeing this because I just heard of someone today called Ceilidh and thought it was odd! Kayleigh is nice though!

MrsJayy · 25/04/2017 23:35

I loved Eilidh dh hated it twice he vetoed it

Lochan · 25/04/2017 23:31

Cross post- Kayleigh is fine.

Copperas · 25/04/2017 23:31

Very dated

Lochan · 25/04/2017 23:31

Please don't call your child ceilidh unless you want her to encounter Scots going Confused for the rest of her life.

Eilidh however is a gorgeous name.

See, pregnancy hormones. Does strange things.

I hadn't noticed this was in baby names and was going to reply to say yes great fun at weddings!

Sunbeam18 · 25/04/2017 23:28

Hilarious!

OuchLegoHurts · 25/04/2017 23:28

No it means an Irish or Scottish dance party!

Oh? Blush is it not the original spelling of Kayleigh?

Don't be daft. But you could call siblings Pipe and Drum.

Kayleigh if you like how it sounds.

I can only assume your being flooded with hormones and not thinking straight .

DramaAlpaca · 25/04/2017 23:24

My opinion is that it's not a name Hmm

OublietteBravo · 25/04/2017 23:21

It's a better spelling of Kayleigh than Keighley which is definitely pronounced Keith-Lee if you come from my part of the country

Paninotogo · 25/04/2017 23:18

Eilidh is lovely, Ceilidh/Kayleigh is a bit 1980s.

ToDuk · 25/04/2017 23:16

Will a potenti subsequent sibling be called Disco? Or maybe Barn-Dance?

ICJump · 25/04/2017 23:16

I'm an Aussie and even I know it's a Scottish dance

Heratnumber7 · 25/04/2017 23:16

Do you mean Elidh? (Pronounced Ailie)

HirplesWithHaggis · 25/04/2017 23:14

How about Rave? Or DanceParty?

Sorrry, OP, but no.

C0untDucku1a · 25/04/2017 23:14

Is it a name?

Spudlet · 25/04/2017 23:13

Excellent for a party. Not so much for a name.
