Kinsley

[megancookson]

What do you think of this name?

What do I think? I think 'sex'.

You really can't name your kid after a famous (the only famous?) sexologist.

I would assume you couldn't spell Kingsley.

Yes I'd assume you just couldn't spell Kingsley too. Like those people who name their child Issac. Just noooooo

Kingsley is actually quite a posh name. I've met a couple, both quite well to do chaps.

I haven't bothered to look it up and see if it is an actual name, but my first impression is that you made up a name trying to be cute and original. I really, really don't like it and couldn't take anyone with that name seriously. Sorry.

I love that name. I have a best friend called Kinsley and she is the greatest friend I could ask for. The name is very unique so you know who it is. Love it. xxxxx

It sounds like a surname. I strongly dislike surnames as first names and Kinsley sounds particularly bad. Of course it sounds made up but aren't all the majority of surnames used as first names made up?!

A second cousin of mine recently had a baby girl named Kinley and I am afraid this is in the same vein.

Ainsley is maybe a bit nicer though equally not a name I would use.

Kingsley, while in the same category, at least has familiarity going for it.

If I met one I'd assume it was an American girl

Absolutely a no.

I don't hate it, but I would assume I'd misheard Kingsley.

squoosh is right.

It would sound like Kingsley said sloppily.
