I like Kaye. I know a few who are definitely not in their fifties.

Never heard before, but I don’t really like it...how about Faye or Kaia? They are much nicer imo x

Kay. I love it.

Peachbubble · 16/04/2019 06:08

Not keen

Love it. I would spell it Kay though.
I put it in the same category as Rita and I hope it has a comeback.

I think it has much more substance than Fay/e.

The only Kaye I know who is my age — mid 40s — is always mortified by her name and says it’s a name from our parents’ generation. Still too soon for it to be granny chic, though.

I don’t like it. Dated and dull. I prefer Fay/e.

I think it's kind of retro-50s - that's to give it a good spin. The sound is fine - it's just very associated with women now in their 60-70s. Since I know several Kay/Kayes I can't get over that dated association.

Divgirl2 · 16/04/2019 04:03

I think it's dated - like Carol and Bryan, not in a trendy Iris and Alfred way. It's fairly inoffensive though if that's what your after.

Prefer Kay as a spelling though.

Dated and boring sorry. I would hate to be a Kaye.

Alicewond · 16/04/2019 04:00

I would like Kay

Alicewond · 16/04/2019 03:59

No

Hotterthanahotthing · 16/04/2019 03:55

It's fine but why stick an e on the end?

madeyemoodysmum · 16/04/2019 03:34

I like it.

isabellerossignol · 16/04/2019 03:27

I quite like it.

Hundredacrewoods · 16/04/2019 03:26

Not weird but very dated. The only Kayes I know are in their 50s
