MC that's a bit harsh to criticise a name she has already given her son

BunnyLebowski · 15/04/2010 15:33

It's horrible and it's not a name.

MadameCastafiore · 15/04/2010 15:31

Vile.

But then I think Kelvin is pretty awful too.

catinthekitchen · 15/04/2010 15:30

god no

Lionstar · 15/04/2010 15:23

I really like Kelvin

thelittlebluepills · 15/04/2010 15:21

would it be pronounce "kill-ann"?

definitely no then - would be awkward if he ever met someone called Ann

AbsOfCroissant · 15/04/2010 15:18

No. Just no.

Actually, two nos. One for Kylan and one for having your DC's names beginning with the same letter

wukter · 15/04/2010 15:15

Definitely not with first son Kelvin

Collision · 15/04/2010 15:13

You will not like my opinion as I do not like the letter 'K'!!

Am really not keen on Kylan and think it is madeup and a bit naff!

mathanxiety · 15/04/2010 15:11

Not nice at all.

It looks like a mishmash of Kyle and Dylan, and there are no clues about how to pronounce it in the spelling. It looks made-up, tbh.

Kyle, Killian, or Dylan are all preferable, imo.

Never heard it before.

It actually sounds kind of made up to me, I'm afraid, and that generally makes me not keen on a name.
