Niall or Nyle?

Hi everyone,
I'm due in 6 weeks and still not 100% on a boy's name. Me and my husband both like Niall but are undecided on how to spell it.

So....help me decide....would you go for Nyle or Niall?!

Definitely Niall. Is Nyle an accepted spelling?

CremeEggThief · 29/10/2016 12:43

Definitely Niall. Unquestionably, in fact.

Nyle has one syllable (and looks like you've tried to be 'indervijewel' with the spelling. Niall has two syllables and is spelled properly. So I would opt for Niall.

I got it from Nyle DiMarco who won America's next top model last year...the vote seems pretty unanimous so far! Grin

100% Niall

SausageSoda · 29/10/2016 13:47

Thank god you're going with Niall Grin Nyle is ridiculous

userformallyknownasuser1475360 · 29/10/2016 13:48

If it's a girl I know a girl called Kevina!!!

user1477427207 · 29/10/2016 14:30

it's Caoimhe, user

IneedAdinosaurNickname · 29/10/2016 14:35

I read them as totally different names Niall (Neil) and Nyle (Nile)

He was gorgeous by the way and I love the name Nyle.

LittleCandle · 29/10/2016 14:46

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who read them as different names! Niall is far superior to Nyle.

lljkk · 29/10/2016 14:50

both fine. But how to say Nyle is a lot more obvious!!!

1horatio · 29/10/2016 15:12

Niall is great :)

userformallyknownasuser1475360 · 29/10/2016 15:18

It isn't Caoimhe (pronounced key-va) it is Kevina, pronounced keveeena

BackforGood · 29/10/2016 15:35

Only ones I've come across in the last 20 years or so have all spelled it Nile.
