Thoughts on Presley? What does it remind you of, if anything?

No idea, TallulahBelle. Probably better than being called Quantock or Brycheiniog Smile

uncomfortablydumb53 · 26/06/2023 14:49

It's a no from me

NooNakedJacuzziness · 26/06/2023 14:49

Don't be cruel

@TallulahBetty , maybe Presely is pronounced Prescelly like the Preseli mountain range

So a different name then

Ds is called Presely (22) as far as I know she likes her name.

So a terrible name AND not even spelled correctly? Yikes.

SoWhatEh · 26/06/2023 14:32

It doesn't remind me of anything. Should it? What am I missing?

Hmm
TallulahBetty · 26/06/2023 14:32

Awful. Try-hard. Oh we are sooooo into our music, daaaahling

DiscoBeat · 26/06/2023 14:30

It reminds me of a surname. Give him a first name!

Not sure that your child will be too happy about it when they get older.

medianewbie · 26/06/2023 14:04

Not meaning to be rude btw. If you like it then use it. It's a nice strong sound.
But it might get very wearying for a child if there are lots of connotations either of the 1950/60/70's singer or the recent 'sleb' variety?

Riapia · 26/06/2023 13:51

As if, OP , as if.
😉😁😁😂😂😂

born2runaway · 26/06/2023 13:43

Great name for a hound dog

Maddy70 · 26/06/2023 12:54

Just no

IsadoraQuagmire · 26/06/2023 12:54

The first thing I think of is Jaime Presley, because I really like her, but I suppose most people would think of Elvis. It's ok as a surname, but not a very nice sound as a first name.

My friends dog and a repulsive man who liked underage girls.

My friends new puppy.

maranella · 26/06/2023 12:34

A dirty old man who liked 14-year-old girls.

Frogmila · 26/06/2023 12:32

What do you think it reminds people of, OP? Ok name but silly question

Starlingnest · 26/06/2023 12:26

Elvis and a village in Scotland that is now part of Aberdeen.

MaryGat467 · 26/06/2023 11:59

Elvis first then Jessica Wright who recently called her son it

SirChenjins · 26/06/2023 11:42

A rather famous late singer (you might have heard of him OP - goes by the name of Elvis?) who sold millions of records, recorded some pretty good songs, was a terrible actor and had a thing for underage girls.

What does Presley remind you of OP? Confused

Sausage1989 · 26/06/2023 11:40

Confused
