Pick your favourite, Khylan or Finley?

Stuck between these two names! Baby is due in 4 weeks and can't decide!! Did love Finley but it's become socoon now, so thinking khylan.. My daughter is called Summer-Rose

Ramsey is a village in England, near Peterborough.

Ramsay is Scottish surname.

People can spell their children's names any way they like, of course ...

Finlay is a fabulous name, although I may be rather biased on it

I've never heard of Khylan and can't say I'm particularly keen, however, there's a lot of name snobbery on MN and I would name your child something YOU love, sod the opinions of others. Whatever you choose, there will wats be people who dislike it.

I really dislike both, but Finley is the lesser of two evils for me. Khylan is just naff.

Khylan.

I really dislike Finlay.

Neither

boysiesback has made a very valid point. Choose the name YOU love. Name snobbery is rife on here

Theonlyoneiknow unfortunately, name snobbery is rife in real life too and rightly or wrongly, your name does influence peoples opinion of you (before getting to know the real you, of course.) It is up to the OP whether this bothers her or not.

Its funny, if the choices on the thread were something like 'Harry or Thomas' then i dont think anyone would mention the fact that other people are snobby and will judge because they are horrible people, but if you think Jaden/ Kyden or whatever will be picked on, doesnt that mean that you actually think the names are, erm, (for want of a better word) common?

Agree that all names are made up, but some are so 'of the moment' that they will never stand the test of time, and will always conjure up images of a certain kind of person from a certain era and a certain background.

Khylan definitely falls into that category. It's a Jason/Dean/Wayne of the future. If you are ok with that then choose it.

I too thought Chinese broccoli.

Nice stir-fried with garlic.

Finlay/ley is nice. I like Finn and Flynn. Khylan is too awful, sorry.

Finley/ley/bar have suddenly become popular.

They make me think of horse meat lasagne.

Finlay

Khylan sounds made up. Surely Finlay is a perfectly acceptable spelling? - not sure why people seem to think Finley is more correct?
