Thoughts on the name Oakley for a boy?

[Olive1988]

What does everyone think about the name? :) xx

I’d assume they were one half of a sibling set with RayBan

I know an Oakley and he's a lovely kid; therefore I like it

Related to an Oakley. Unusual but cute

It's the tree in 'everything's Rosie' but otherwise I quite like it!

It’s a surname to me.

Sounds too much like a surname to me. It’s not the worst name I’ve heard though.

I know an Oakley. It was a weird name when I first heard it, but I've watched him grow up from a chubby dumpling into a confident, strong, beautiful teenager with a respectful manner and a wicked sense of humour. His name evokes strength and stability, and he has totally grown into it.

Thumbs up from me.

Sunglasses for me 😎

Reminds me of Tyler Oakley but that’s not a bad thing!! I quite like it

Oakley is not what it used to be. Ray ban now all the way. Sorry!

My cousin’s called Oakley. He’s Canadian.

Always makes me think of Ned Flanders saying “okily dokily” in the Simpsons.

I strongly dislike it as a name for a person.

My friends dog is called Oakley. But I think it could work well for a child too it's just very American sounding.

Sorry, it’s equivalent calling your child Rayban to me too.

No, it's terrible.

Brass band from Blaenau Ffestiniog.

I know a little boy called Oakley. I think it’s quite sweet. I do always think of that bloody tree from Everything’s Rosie though.

Good name for a kitchen company... sorry I know it is a sunglasses firm, but for some reason kitchens came to mind with the name.

Isn't Oakley one of those fake farms names that supermarkets put on the labels? You know, so it sounds rustic and cosy and gives an opposite impression to the mass production —organised cruelty— factories.

Had to laugh at the sun glasses emoji!!

That'd be my first thought.

Prefer Ray short for Rayban.

I know an Oak, which divided the family somewhat at the time. I think it's a lovely name.

Good name but does remind me of the sportswear company.

Teach one. He's a right twunt. Puts me right off! Otherwise I quite liked it.

I agree I do think sunglasses when I hear it.

Nooo
