I much prefer Finley.

Khylan is going to lead to a lot of "How do you pronounce that/how is it spelled?"

MikeLitoris · 16/01/2014 21:36

My Nephew is called Kylan but I prefer Finley. Especially with your DDS name.

30SecondsToVenus · 16/01/2014 21:36

Khylan is lovely

MrsBungle · 16/01/2014 21:36

Finley.

littleredsquirrel · 16/01/2014 21:37

Never heard khylan before. Really don't like it I'm afraid.

Beamur · 16/01/2014 21:37

Finley

YouCantTeuchThis · 16/01/2014 21:38

Finlay is a lovely name - I'm personally not keen on spelling variations but I get that people want to be different or whatever.

Either name will have spelling issues, but at least Khylan is unusual enough for people to ask rather than your child having to always correct Finley.

sleepyhead · 16/01/2014 21:38

Finley. What's the h for in Khylan? What about Kyle? Or Kylan if you like the lan sound at the end.

HairyPotter · 16/01/2014 21:39

Don't like Khylan at all I'm afraid. It looks like a made up name he will forever have to spell.

Finley is nice although I actually prefer Finn.

MikeLitoris · 16/01/2014 21:40

khylan will not be well received on here OP. Its too similar to the much hated kayden/Jayden style of name.

DorsetGal · 16/01/2014 21:41

Def Finley.

Khylan is too Kayden (as Mike said)

pygmy · 16/01/2014 21:44

Finley by miles; although much prefer the Finlay spelling or just Finn.

Theonlyoneiknow · 16/01/2014 21:45

What about Flynn? I prefer the Finlay spelling (love Finlay). Would go for Kyle not Khylan, or what about Kai?

But to answer your question I prefer Finley

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 16/01/2014 22:28

Khylan sounds made up. Go with Finlay.

ArgyMargy · 16/01/2014 22:29

Finlay.

Itsallinyourheaddear · 16/01/2014 22:30

Finlay

MrsJohnDeere · 16/01/2014 22:32

Finlay although I prefer Finn or Finntan

Biscuitsneeded · 16/01/2014 22:32

Finlay (or Finley if you really must) by a country mile. Sorry.

LaurieFairyCake · 16/01/2014 22:33

Finlay

But no stupid 'e', it's not how it's spelt.

The other ones not even a name, just a collection of consonants.

TravellingToad · 16/01/2014 22:35

Finlay

Wtf is Kalyan?

Littlefish · 16/01/2014 22:35

Finlay or Finley.

Khylan - not in a million years.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 16/01/2014 22:38

Finlay. Lovely name. Job done ??.

wetaugust · 16/01/2014 22:42

Khylan - Ky for short I presume like Colleen Rooney's? Big Yuk!

Finley - try shouting it in a playground and see how many kids turn round. Soooooo common. So another yuk!.

LottieJenkins · 16/01/2014 22:44

How about Flynn?

SecretRed · 16/01/2014 22:44

Finley
