Is Kyle nice? I like it but I've had people telling me it's chavvy ( hate that word!)

I used to be friends with a guy called Kyle at school - he was the polar opposite of a chav. Nice well spoken guy, intelligent (a little geeky if I'm honest), shy.

I hate it when people say "naughty boy name" - ANY name could be the name of a "naughty" boy!

Having said that I prefer the other names you have suggested just because I think they sound nicer.

It's very 90s. Emile is much nicer.

Emile is a very different type of name and I really like it. I know a gorgeous one who goes by Mila.

Sounds common to me and I'm common!

Definitely considered a naughty name from.a school perspective...

We like Emile too but alot of people pronounce it more with an A than an Em sound

I don't mind it at all, but there won't be much love for it on here.

I detest names being described as 'chavvy', nasty offensive term.

naughty boy name

villainousbroodmare · 12/07/2017 22:36

I wouldn't choose it.

SleepFreeZone · 12/07/2017 22:35

I like both Christian and Nate 👍

wobblywonderwoman · 12/07/2017 22:35

I don't like the term chavvy but I don't really like the name.

SleepFreeZone · 12/07/2017 22:34

I don't like it.

All of the kyles that I know are lovely men. And not chavvy at all.

PearlyPinkNails · 12/07/2017 22:27

I prefer Jeremy

Hhhmmmmm......Kyle, wasn't that a character in South Park? Personally I would agree with what you've heard, but if you like it that much then others opinions shouldn't matter 😀 I called my baby boy Hector, and I certainly didn't get too many thumbs up on that name!
