Is Kyle nice? I like it but I've had people telling me it's chavvy ( hate that word!)

Hhhmmmmm......Kyle, wasn't that a character in South Park? Personally I would agree with what you've heard, but if you like it that much then others opinions shouldn't matter 😀 I called my baby boy Hector, and I certainly didn't get too many thumbs up on that name!

PearlyPinkNails · 12/07/2017 22:27

I prefer Jeremy

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 12/07/2017 22:29

All of the kyles that I know are lovely men. And not chavvy at all.

I don't like it.

wobblywonderwoman · 12/07/2017 22:35

I don't like the term chavvy but I don't really like the name.

SleepFreeZone · 12/07/2017 22:35

I like both Christian and Nate 👍

villainousbroodmare · 12/07/2017 22:36

I wouldn't choose it.

therootoftheroot · 12/07/2017 22:36

naughty boy name

DramaAlpaca · 12/07/2017 22:36

I don't mind it at all, but there won't be much love for it on here.

I detest names being described as 'chavvy', nasty offensive term.

We like Emile too but alot of people pronounce it more with an A than an Em sound

Definitely considered a naughty name from.a school perspective...

Zoflorabore · 12/07/2017 22:40

Sounds common to me and I'm common!

villainousbroodmare · 12/07/2017 22:45

Emile is a very different type of name and I really like it. I know a gorgeous one who goes by Mila.

Sophronia · 12/07/2017 23:16

It's very 90s. Emile is much nicer.

Kazzawazza69 · 12/07/2017 23:30

I used to be friends with a guy called Kyle at school - he was the polar opposite of a chav. Nice well spoken guy, intelligent (a little geeky if I'm honest), shy.

I hate it when people say "naughty boy name" - ANY name could be the name of a "naughty" boy!

Having said that I prefer the other names you have suggested just because I think they sound nicer.

Oh, I so agree.

Twozealotmorethan1 · 12/07/2017 23:35

Don't like it.
Miles is much nicer, but still not something I'd chose.
Emile is ok too.

chowmeinchick · 12/07/2017 23:35

I prefer Jeremy

I like Kyle best but have always thought naughty boy name.

Onhold · 12/07/2017 23:38

Naughty boy name? What a load of bollocks.

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 12/07/2017 23:39

Kyle rhymes with ....

chowmeinchick · 12/07/2017 23:46

Probably not all bollocks if the only Kyle's I know are actually naughty.

Although I do like the name, as I've said.

ProseccoPoppy · 12/07/2017 23:47

The only Kyle I know has been called Kylie for years. Especially at school. As a result he hates his name...

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/07/2017 08:27

No, how about Kristian (Kit).

Scrumpington · 13/07/2017 11:00

Kyle rhymes with ....

Style?
Domicile?
Discophile?
Supervirile?
Peristyle?
