Has anyone heard of this name?

Would you pronounce it Kay or Kie - lor?

Boy or girl?

@IdblowJonSnow, it’s Gobnait, but pronounced, roughly, GUB-nut, and Irish people find it fully as appalling as you do. (Which is a shame, as St Gobnait was very cool, patron of beekeepers and ironworkers, and supposed to have had a swarm of killer bees she set on miscreants.)

I know if a Kyler. I’d pronounce Kailor the same way because it looks like a blend of Kai and Taylor which gets pronounced Tayler

Bouncingbelle · 15/08/2020 23:50

I know a Kayler and would pronounce Kailor the same way.

It’s a boys name.

Grim

Immigrantsong · 15/08/2020 23:36

With my accent it would sound like Gaylord.

So maybe avoid?

Transitory73 · 15/08/2020 23:34

Sounds like something the Rooney's would call their kids.

Exactly this. Colleen has probably bagsied it for her next kid. All of whom have names beginning with K. One poor sod is called Klay, I think!

Any name you "come across on a tv show" is generally a bad idea.

IdblowJonSnow · 15/08/2020 22:55

Really awful OP. It has even trumped what I previously thought the worst name ever (Gobnat if anyone is interested.)
Apologies to Irish people out there, perhaps it's pronounced differently to how it would seem and actually sounds beautiful!

ODFOx · 15/08/2020 22:54

I'd pronounce it to rhyme with Sailor.
Never heard of it as a name and no idea if it's for a boy or a girl.
The previous poster who said that it's a mis- spelling of Kayla may be correct but as that isn't a real name either who can tell?

emilybrontescorsett · 15/08/2020 22:53

Rhymes with sailor and I would say boy.

Teal99 · 15/08/2020 22:52

DustbinTimberlake · 15/08/2020 22:50

Yeah it looks like it would rhyme with Taylor/Sailor.

Also reminds me of kaolin, which is in an old-fashioned medicine I remember from my days as a Saturday girl in Boots.

EleanorOalike · 15/08/2020 22:45

I physically recoiled when I saw this name. Hideous.

So it wasn’t just me then? It’s just...disgusting.

userabcname · 15/08/2020 22:44

I initially thought boy and that the pronunciation would be Kay-lor. If it's more Kay-la then it sounds more of a girl's name.

drumandthebass · 15/08/2020 22:30

That made me chuckle @Bumbrella

Voice0fReason · 15/08/2020 22:20

Awful - sounds made up by someone trying to be different.

ScottIansEyebrows · 15/08/2020 22:20

Sounds like a super hero who gets his powers from dark green leafy veg (but not spinach, we don’t want a rivalry with Popeye).

YerAWizardHarry · 15/08/2020 22:19

I'd assume it was Kye-ler because the name Kai is pronounced Kye

Skyliner001 · 15/08/2020 22:17

😂😂

heytheredelilah07 · 15/08/2020 22:16

Awful, sorry

Bumbrella · 15/08/2020 22:16

Kinker, kailor, koldier, Kai.

Laaalaaaa · 15/08/2020 22:15

Awful and tacky. Sounds made up and too much like trying to be unique.

zigaziga · 15/08/2020 16:02

I also assume if rhyme with Sailor although I’ve never heard it before.

I would say honestly this is one of the worst names I’ve ever seen! Blush

CaptainMyCaptain · 15/08/2020 15:37

Don't like it.
