DC2 - Alfie or Kayla

[TuleYide]

DC2 due in March - team yellow!

DS is Freddie. Does Alfie go?

If DC2 is a girl, I really like Kayla. But my name is Kaylee and DP says that’s like calling her after me which he says is vain.

Thoughts?

It’s too close for me.

How about Layla?

Freddie and Alfie are fine!

Alfie is lovely for a boy.

Kayla. No! Agree with Pp — how about Layla? Delilah? Cora? Or something like Roxanna?

Aurora? Aurelia ?

Alfie 'goes with' Freddie, yes imo.
I wouldn't use Kayla. Especially not if I was Kaylee.
Layla, as pp suggested is lovely.

I wouldn’t use Alfie personally with Freddie because they can both be short for Alfred (and I like full names) but this is me being picky. Albie is different though.

I agree that Kayla is too similar to Kaylee. How about:
Ayla
Isla
Layla
Eilish
Keira
Cara
Caitlyn
Kyla

Sorry don’t like either

I don’t like Layla, not sure why. Roxanna is lovely!

I didn’t know Alfie and Freddie were the same name. Albie feels more ‘old man’ to me.

Names are so hard.

Alfie's fine, dislike Kayla.

Alfie sounds great with freddie. Just don't use the full name which most people don't anyway.

Alfie is too common and I dislike shortened names as full names. Kayla? Just no. Awful. Sorry.

Yes Kayla is far too close to Kaylee so I’d avoid.

I think the both being possible nicknames for Alfred would put me off pairing Alfie with Freddie, but I bet a lot of people wouldn’t even notice. What about Harry or Archie?

I work in a primary school and every class has several Alfie's so they tend to get surname initial tacked on. One class has 5!
Not keen on Kayla, lots of those too, spelled in many ways...

Sorry Alfie is naff. Babyish and will date badly. You can’t have Kayla with your name.

Amber
Zoe
Amara
Lyra

James
Oliver
Harry
Rory

Alfie and Freddie are both nicknames for Alfred so I personally wouldn’t. Don’t like Kayla, especially if you’re Kaylee.

Alternatives to Kayla...

Scarlett
Leah
Olivia
Stella
Isla
Sonia
Freya

Michaela instead of Kayla? Bit less obvious connection to your name, and you could still keep Kayla as a nickname.

Other suggestions: Maisie, Talia, Dahlia, Saskia, Molly, Georgie, Josie, Jay, Lacey, Joni, Clara, Paige, Naomi, Keelin, Jamie, Marnie, May, Coralie, Amy, Rosie

Alfie is fine with Freddie. It's not exactly the same name as Freddie generally comes from Frederick, although it could also be short for Alfred.

As others have mentioned - Archie or Albie as alternatives, if you're worried?

My friend’s seven year old son is one of four Alfies in his class. Ir’s just too common now.

How about Katrina instead of Kayla?
