Which one would you choose out of these?

Kaya - pr. kah-ya
Phoebe
Alice
Kaylee - Kayleigh is a bit too long for my tastes

Thanks for your help and happy Easter!

In order

Phoebe
Alice

Kaya only if you must

Kaylee / Kayleigh - not if it was the last available name on earth

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 20/04/2025 21:34

Kaya sounds like the noise someone makes when they fall down a hole.

Alice is lovely..
Phoebe is okay

Kayleigh is basic but a nice name..

Calliopespa · 20/04/2025 21:31

What about Kezia?

LetsWatchTheFlowersGrow · 20/04/2025 21:19

Kaia (pronounced Ky-a) is nice. I don’t like Kaya or Kaylee.

LetsWatchTheFlowersGrow · 20/04/2025 21:17

Alice
Phoebe

*how.

ItsCalledAConversation · 20/04/2025 21:12

Yes Alice/Phoebe and Kaylee are polar opposites!

Kaya - think you’d be always correcting how people said it.

Hoe about Kayla?

martinisforeveryone · 20/04/2025 21:06

Those names sound like they've been chosen for two completely different families.

Personally I don't like Kaya or Kaylee/Kayleigh at all.

saraclara · 20/04/2025 21:03

Kaylee is horrible, sorry.

Alice by a country mile. Phoebe is okay. Kaya, no-one will know how to say (as you clearly recognise as you had to explain it in the OP)

JSMill · 20/04/2025 21:02

Alice.

modgepodge · 20/04/2025 21:01

I knew twins with 2 of these names!

I love Alice and Phoebe. I don’t love kaya (and I’d pronounce it with the first syllable to rhyme with May or maybe eye, the way you’ve written it would never occur to me so I think you’ll struggle to get people to get that right). Really really dislike kaylee. Kayleigh is a little better but the spelling you’ve put I particularly dislike for some reason.

Clearinguptheclutter · 20/04/2025 21:00

Alice or Phoebe

Kaya is ok but surely the better spelling would be Kaia.
Kaya looks like cay (to rhyme with May) -ah

TheeNotoriousPIG · 20/04/2025 20:55

I like Alice and Phoebe.

CanIHaveALattePlease · 20/04/2025 20:50

Kaylee is my favourite . I really can’t stand the name Alice, makes me think of lice and someone saying it with a lisp.

NotMyRealAccount · 20/04/2025 20:46

Alice by a country mile, though I do quite like Kaya.

SilverButton · 20/04/2025 20:46

Thirteenblackcat · 20/04/2025 17:04

in order of preference
Alice, Phoebe, Kaya. Not kaylee

i agree with this.

Calliopespa · 20/04/2025 20:45

DissDissOrDiss · 20/04/2025 17:05

Alice. Strong dislike for the others.

Me too. Love Alice, Phoebe is fine.

The other two are a totally different vibe and I’m afraid I don’t like them at all.

Same for me!

BootballJoy · 20/04/2025 20:41

Phoebe is my favourite

SummerDaysOnTheWay · 20/04/2025 19:22

Alice

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 20/04/2025 19:22

Alice or Phoebe. Not that keen on Kaya. Definitely not Kaylee.

Dragonsandcats · 20/04/2025 19:04

Alice first, Phoebe second.

Phoebe is beautiful and Alice is OK.

Don’t like the other two.
