Eileen?

[saidthespiderwithahorridsmile]

yay or nay?

You'll end up saying "Oh come on, Eileen" at some point and collapsing in giggles along with anyone over 35 within earshot. Every one else will be all

Don't do it, its my mums name and she really doesn't like it, people never spell it right either, or mis-hear it as Irene?!

Don't like it, sorry, I'm not keen on any of the names ending in the 'een' sound actually (Irene, Kathleen etc), just sounds a bit whiny or something to me. Seems very old-fashioned to me as well, not something I'd think of for a little girl now.

Ellen is nice though.

nooooooooooooo

I lean ?

It's a name from my mother's generation which I never used to like, but I find like it better now, especially spelled Aileen.

Also think it's a name from my mother's generation along with Maureen/Angela/Irene type names.

I love it. But the C'mon Eileen thing is strong, sadly.

nope

How about Ellen Jane instead?

DD1 (21) has a friend Eileen, but she was the only one in school.

Yack! NO!!
