I really am liking the name Bailey. It's quite unusual and quite cool I think!

What do you lot think? What do you think when u hear the name?

Like it, we have a lovely Bailey at my nursery, he's adorable and really suits his name

Sorry - don't generally like surnames-as-first-names.

These sort of names are getting more and more popular (I think it is an American thing)

Don't like it, I'm afraid. Doesn't it mean 'bailiff'?

Hmm maybe it's just a bit too unusual :S

It's a dog's name. Specifically an overweight and not very bright chocolate lab.

Well, that's the only Bailey I know apart from the Irish cream.

Yes definitely a surname. Maybe its just me but I dislike surnames as first names. Sorry. But if you like it go for it.

I quite like it, but maybe bit odd cos of being a surname itself.
