Bailey

[Kelsey28]

Do you think Bailey is too feminine? This has been a favourite of mine for years but DH is insistent that it is a girls name, though I have only come across when girl named Bailey and that was on Educating Yorkshire.

Really popular name for dogs (sorry they're girl dogs too).

I love it. (I am biased)

Another who associates it with a dog's name or surname

Have only ever known one Bailey and she was female.

Only known one Bailey, he was a boy. But he was a little shite.

Fine while he is young, but who would want to be Old Bailey?

Love this name for a boy. (Biased too)

Wasn't there a (hot) Bailey in Party Of Five?

Reminds me of Greys Anatomy! It's not a name I'd pick myself but I don't think it would be that 'put there' either

I know one of each, both teenagers now. Not a name I'd pick personally because I'm not keen on the surname as first name thing but I think it's fine for either sex.

I'm not keen on surnames as first names wither, but do quite like this spelt Bayleigh.

either

Reminds me of Bailey from Party of Five too.

I know one (male) who spells it Bayley

Only known one Bailey, he was a boy. But he was a little shite.

Same!

Only known one and she was a girl. For me it's a surname and a dogs name so I don't like it for boys or girls tbh.

I know male and female baileys. If you choose it do spell it properly, not Bayley or Bayleigh

I think of it as a boy's name. My reference for it is the boy from 'party of five'. Which is now a really old kids tv show!

I've never met anyone called it except dogs in real life.

First thing I think of is 'dogs name '. I prefer it for a boy to a girl.

reminds me of the horrible, sickly sweet drink drunk at xmas. I expect it'll do the same for their peers when teenagers.

Yes, I think of the drink too. Dislike 'surname' names anyway.

Sorry, makes me think of Irish cream. Also in the anti-last names as first names crowd.
