Eileen?

[saidthespiderwithahorridsmile]

yay or nay?

come on eileen..

but there are younger than me that wouldn't have that association I'm sure!

nay

Eileen Dover?

My mum's mn is Eileen and she has had a lifelong hatred for it I'm afraid - to the extent that she will only admit to it being an "E" name most of the time!

Not my cup of tea either .

C'mon!

Don't do it.

A huge, great big NO from me.
Don't.
No saving graces IMO

yay, I like it :). But it will polarise some.

No, I don't like it. I prefer 'Ellen' which seems like a simpler version... I think they are both versions of Helen.

However, five years ago I would have said eurgh eyooo to Kathleen, and now, something is making it seem a tiny bit more fashionable. Margaret, Kathleen and Eileen. I can see them coming back in soon.

I prefer Eily, an Irish nn for Eileen, and probably acceptable as a name in its own right.

Come On, Eileen? Really?

I kill myself, I really do !!

Honestly, there are people calling their kids Beryl and you're worried about Eileen! :o It's fine.

19 Eileen's born last year :)

I mean 2009 according to ONS

No. Even Aileen is better

I love it, really strong name.

Nay

I really love Eileen.

I knew an Elieen at school (I'm 23, to give you some perspective), she had a constant stream of people offering to come on her.

Would Alieen be too serial killer/alien-ish?

Yay

My gran's name was Eileen. To me it is a tad old fashioned.

Is it a family name?

If so, perhaps have as a middle name?

Not keen, what about Eibhlin (Evelyn) another alternative to the Irish Ellen/Helen?

I prefer Aileen or Elaine.

NO!!

Awful.
