Is Kaye a good name for girl？

[namel8]

what do you think of Kaye? is it weird？

I like Kay - very retro chic. I wouldn't spell it with an e though.

I've only come across it in a children's book about women in WWII - if it was in use for people born in the 1920s, it'll come back round soon.

I quite like it. I’d use it as a shortening for Michaela/Mikayla rather than a stand alone name though.

It’s sounds like you’ve named her after a letter of the alphabet.

So I don’t like it.

It's ok. I prefer Faye though.

Dated and dull

My cousin, in her 30s, is Kay. Personally I think it’s a bit dull. sorry cousin

I like it but if your concerned I suppose you could give her a name that starts with a "K" and use it as a nn.

Traditionally, Kay was sometimes used a short form of Katherine/Kathleen etc.

If it were me, I'd use one of those names - or, as previous poster suggested, another name beginning with 'K' - with Kay as a nickname.

There was a very talented actress called Kay Kendall, if anyone remembers her.

Kay, Jay, Dee, Elle, basically letters of the alphabet. Much nicer names out there that aren't just a sound.

Kaye/Kay is just awful. All the names you could choose it'd be madness to use Kay/Kaye. I think it's dated too.

I like it as a short nickname for Caitlyn. Also like Fay.

I've always found it rather frumpy TBH.

I like it but spelt Kay. I know one in her 20s and she's lovely.

I like it but spelled Kay. The 'e' on the end isn't necessary.

My first thoughts were you we're trying to write Kanye

I only know of older Kay's and no Kaye's

At the risk of outing myself, it's my name I'm not frumpy or dated and am complimented on my unusual name. Do not spell with an e! I'm often called Kate in error. 😛. Btw! It doesn't happen after polite correction. Proud of being a Kay! We rock!

I know 2 Kays both in their 50s. But more common for people in their 60s, I think. Not sure if it’s old enough to be granny chic. Reminds me of Carol and Jenny.

I like it but I might be biased, not my name, but I'm in my 50's.

I quite like the name Kay, but it looks very odd with an e on the end

No.

I'm a Kay. Didn't realise it was hated so much 😂 I wouldnt necessarily choose it myself - it's annoying being called Kate and always having to spell it out. But I've always thought it was relatively inoffensive. Also, I'm under 40 so not so aged!

My Aunty Kathleen was always Kay. My dad called her Kitty.

For all these posters saying it's dull, dated, boring and middle-aged - you know that in the next generation it will be seen as sophisticated, chic and interesting (just like all the 'granny' names are in now) if you like it, go for it! There is nothing remotely offensive about it, I think it's quite nice. You know she will be the only one in her class with it at least!

I can see a painfully hip normcore couple calling their daughter Kaye
