Kinsley

[megancookson]

What do you think of this name?

I haven't heard of it before, so I would have to guess at the spelling if I heard it over the phone got example. It doesn't offend me though.

• for example

Not a name. Awful.

it sounds made up and reminds of 'Kinell' which is what we say at home when we don't want to swear too much.

I haven't heard of it - is it for a boy or girl?

I've heard of Kingsley which is inoffensive enough for a boy.

Not keen on Kinsley though, sorry.

Would go well with kayden.

Kingsley is OK.
Kayden - is that a name?

Sounds a bit chavvy THERE I SAID IT

twmsioncati my dog it called twm!

It passes for one in certain circles.

I'd think you couldn't spell Kingsley.

It is equally suggestive of Kinsey - the great sexologist.

Awful. I can't even think whether it would be for a boy or a girl.

It would work for a small depressed post-industrial Northern town though.

absolutely fucking dreadful.

" my dog it called twm! "

Ci da iawn!

Do you mean Kingsley? I'm not keen on that but Kinsley is worse (sorry)

It sounds very American, I've also seen Kinsey, Tinsley, Tinley etc. used there (usually for girls).

Oh god no. No, no, no, no.

Reminds me of
A) Kinsey test
B) Kingsley in HP (who I love but it's a difficult name to pull off)
C) a surname
D) a small, dull town

Ci da iawn!

Ci defaid newydd! Mae o mor del! Twm bach

Its a K name.

Not for the moment as K names are thought of in a certain way at the moment.

Doesn't matter if its Kinsley or Kingsley.

It makes me think of someone wimpish and somewhat effeminate.

Awful. Do Kingsley if you must but Kinsley just looks as if you got the name wrong.

I think I'm in the minority here but I like it!

Is it a name?

My cousin changed to his first name to Kingsley. It has special significance in our family. Our Great Grandma had to have the doctor out to her for the birth of her twins. The doctors surname Kingsley. The name has been handed down the generations since as a middle name.

OP weren't not related, are we?

I live near Kinsley Greyhound Stadium, so it's a no from me.

Kayden certainly is a name. If you've never met one, visit this part of the Midlands and you'll meet one or many.

I don't find Kinsley very easy to say TBH, and it wouldn't work with quite a few surnames. I don't actively dislike it though, I've certainly heard worse names.

Have you got anything else on your short list?
