Has anyone heard of this name?

Would you pronounce it Kay or Kie - lor?

Boy or girl?

If I heard it, I'd assume it was "Kayla" (female), ditto pronounced kai-luh, I'd perhaps anticipate a Cadhla (female). Seeing it written down, I'd expect a boy.

(yes Kayla and Sailor rhyme in my accent before we descend into arguments about rhoticity again)

Okay then 🤣

My mum said she came across it on an American tv show for a little girl, I had never heard it before, but had assumed it was for a boy, hence the thread, as was interested see if anyone had heard of it.

Oh god it's beyond awful.

InDeoEstMeaFiducia · 15/08/2020 15:30

Made up

MikeUniformMike · 15/08/2020 15:30

To rhyme with Jailer, Tailor or Sailor.

Awful.

DillonPanthersTexas · 15/08/2020 15:28

It's a horrendous name.

LouisBalfour · 15/08/2020 15:20

Grin chavtastic

Crankley · 15/08/2020 15:19

Boy or girl? Neither it's horrible.

ttigerlilly · 15/08/2020 14:48

I'm sorry to say I can't stand it

timetest · 15/08/2020 14:36

Please don’t.

FelicityPike · 15/08/2020 14:33

Rhymes with Sailor, male......(.I don’t care what people think but )I’d imagine very chavvy parents. Sorry, judging the heck out of it but that’s not a name.
However, it’s your choice.

TinySongstress · 15/08/2020 14:24

Yeah, not a fan.

Rhymes with Sailor. I actually prefer Sailor.

Puffalicious · 15/08/2020 14:23

Awful. Think again.

Delta1 · 15/08/2020 14:21

@OhTheRoses hahaha 😂 Me too!

FredaFox · 15/08/2020 14:18

Awful name but I’d say it rhymes with sailor

HoratioNightboy · 15/08/2020 14:17

I've seen Kailer in the records a couple of times, for boys. Would assume it's pronounced to rhyme with Sailor. Can't say I'm a fan.

elfran · 15/08/2020 14:06

Ooof, it's bad. I would imagine a boy (as Kai is masculine, and Sailor can be either), but I'd feel pretty bad for him.

VacMan · 15/08/2020 13:45

It's like Michaela and you can't be arsed saying the full name.

It's not very nice.

Tlollj · 15/08/2020 13:45

Like everyone else to rhyme with sailor. Probably a boy. But it’s horrible.
One of those made up ones.

Biscuitsneeded · 15/08/2020 13:44

Grim. Sorry.

nitgel · 15/08/2020 13:44

Though not spelt like op

nitgel · 15/08/2020 13:43

Yes know a girl with this name

NameChange84 · 15/08/2020 13:43

I’d think it rhymed with Sailor and was one of the worst most unfortunate names I had ever encountered. Poor kid.

worstwitch18 · 15/08/2020 13:42

I would expect it to rhyme with Taylor/Sailor.

Written down my immediate reaction is boy, but spoken aloud it might be confused with Kayla so I would probably expect a girl if I heard the name.

Personally I don't like it.

CoffeeRunner · 15/08/2020 13:41

I’d pronounce it to rhyme with Sailor.

Not sure of usual gender as it “looks” more male but both Sailor & Kayla (which it would sound like) are both female. So unisex possibly.
