I may be in the minority but I love the name Bailey, especially on a girl!

I have a female pet called Bailey, everyone assumes that she's male.

It's a boys name and not a nice one, ok for a dog though

Coffeetasteslikeshit · 24/09/2017 07:53

I only know boy Baileys. It will always be a drink to me though.

There are lots of boys in KS1 with surnames-as-first-names
This isn't to my taste

My first thought is the drink, my second thought is a boy’s name. I wouldn’t have thought of it as a girls name.

Whisky.

Dog’s name.

Ojoj1974 · 23/09/2017 11:26

I'm afraid neither. It's not a name I like at all

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 23/09/2017 11:24

It's fine as long as you don't mind the comment "is that what your mum was drinking at the time?".

nodogsinthebedroom · 23/09/2017 11:19

Tbh I wouldn't even give it to a dog (sorry). Lovely but highly calorific drink or court for me.

It's grim

Liadain · 23/09/2017 08:31

Dog/alcohol.

Saucery · 23/09/2017 08:24

It's a nice name for boy or girl but I know too many dogs called that. A fair few children called it too.

Horse name

SuzukiLi · 23/09/2017 07:46

I've always been told how lovely my name is.

GreyFluffball · 23/09/2017 07:44

We have friends with a baby boy Bailey. I think it's dreadful. In my opinion it comes across as rather chavvy.
