Kayley or Olivia

[Wonderland22]

DP and I have narrowed it down to these 2. Can I have some opinions please?

Olivia.

I'm surprised you like both.

It's like Matthew and Kayden or something.

Oh I don't know. Theyre both gorgeous. Olivia is timeless and pretty, but overly common.
Kayley however is quite dated but at the same time very edgy snd indeed quite unusual now, and. Maybe its due a revival.
Not helpful, sorry

Olivia. What about Katie?

Olivia.

I don't love the full name, but do love Liv.

Kayley is outdated. Plus, I have no idea what the "correct" spelling is and it would shit me to tears everyone spelling it differently. I knew a Caylee in my childhood, but that spelling looks off too.

They are very different.

Is one yours and the other DPs?

Kayleigh should be thus spelt.

Olivia is far too common.

Why do people think it's spelt Kayleigh? The original is Kaylee.

This is why people think of Kayleigh: m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ4oaLUilBc

Kaylee just looks daft.

Yes, Marillion - that's what I thought too!

Olivia, definitely.

Olivia is boring as fuck now but kayley is naff and dated. Try again?

Why do people think it's spelt Kayleigh? The original is Kaylee

Says who?

I have a Kayleigh she's the only one in her school...I still don't like the name. ( Dh picked it I chose a boys name)
A Kayley I worked with at the time told me to spell it Kayleigh as that's what she has been correcting her entire life ;)

She has 5 Olivia's in her year group she loves it but everyone calls her k or kk

Who knew?

There is no original spelling in that case
Unless the original spelling is ceileigh

My name is Kayleigh.

Don't think I've ever had any negative comments about it until this thread and it certainly hasn't held me back in my adult life. It's weird though, I can't imagine a baby called Kayleigh. No idea why.

I like it. And I was named after the song

I like Olivia, too. Nothing wrong with either name imo.

Your baby, call her whatever you like. Not what other people like.

ceilidh
Whatever

There is no original spelling in that case
Unless the original spelling is ceileigh

No, but it means that Kaylee did come before Kayleigh!

It's a no-brainer...Olivia every time....Kayley is just horrible and chavvy.

I like both but i do think Olivia has been done to death. Its has been in the top ten baby names for the last 10 years or so and i think you will always find around 3 in the same year at school.

Kayleigh is an 80s name but very underused nowadays

It really doesn't mean that. Baby name sites make up all kinds of crap. Here is another site that says different www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/girl/kayleigh

Baby name sites do make up a lot of crap that's true, but I do think behindthename is easily one of the most reliable, to be fair, given that it's purpose is to detail the history and etymology of names rather than to suggest ideas for soon-to-be-parents. And the research seems to be pretty thorough.

Went to school with Kayleigh/Kayleys so for me it fits in with the Sarah, Nicola & Michelle kinda names. Not that keen on the name as it sounds quite harsh. Olivia on the other hand is melodic & has excellent nn potential with Liv/Livvy/Oli
