Has anyone heard of this name?

Would you pronounce it Kay or Kie - lor?

Boy or girl?

I'm sorry to say I can't stand it

Crankley · 15/08/2020 15:19

Boy or girl? Neither it's horrible.

LouisBalfour · 15/08/2020 15:20

Grin chavtastic

DillonPanthersTexas · 15/08/2020 15:28

It's a horrendous name.

MikeUniformMike · 15/08/2020 15:30

To rhyme with Jailer, Tailor or Sailor.

Awful.

InDeoEstMeaFiducia · 15/08/2020 15:30

Made up

IHaveBrilloHair · 15/08/2020 15:31

Oh god it's beyond awful.

namechangerx · 15/08/2020 15:34

Okay then 🤣

My mum said she came across it on an American tv show for a little girl, I had never heard it before, but had assumed it was for a boy, hence the thread, as was interested see if anyone had heard of it.

If I heard it, I'd assume it was "Kayla" (female), ditto pronounced kai-luh, I'd perhaps anticipate a Cadhla (female). Seeing it written down, I'd expect a boy.

(yes Kayla and Sailor rhyme in my accent before we descend into arguments about rhoticity again)

CaptainMyCaptain · 15/08/2020 15:37

Don't like it.

zigaziga · 15/08/2020 16:02

I also assume if rhyme with Sailor although I’ve never heard it before.

I would say honestly this is one of the worst names I’ve ever seen! Blush

Laaalaaaa · 15/08/2020 22:15

Awful and tacky. Sounds made up and too much like trying to be unique.

Bumbrella · 15/08/2020 22:16

Kinker, kailor, koldier, Kai.

heytheredelilah07 · 15/08/2020 22:16

Awful, sorry

Skyliner001 · 15/08/2020 22:17

😂😂

YerAWizardHarry · 15/08/2020 22:19

I'd assume it was Kye-ler because the name Kai is pronounced Kye

ScottIansEyebrows · 15/08/2020 22:20

Sounds like a super hero who gets his powers from dark green leafy veg (but not spinach, we don’t want a rivalry with Popeye).

Voice0fReason · 15/08/2020 22:20

Awful - sounds made up by someone trying to be different.

drumandthebass · 15/08/2020 22:30

That made me chuckle @Bumbrella

GoshHashana · 15/08/2020 22:41

I physically recoiled when I saw this name. Hideous.

userabcname · 15/08/2020 22:44

I initially thought boy and that the pronunciation would be Kay-lor. If it's more Kay-la then it sounds more of a girl's name.

EleanorOalike · 15/08/2020 22:45

I physically recoiled when I saw this name. Hideous.

So it wasn’t just me then? It’s just...disgusting.

DustbinTimberlake · 15/08/2020 22:50

Yeah it looks like it would rhyme with Taylor/Sailor.

Also reminds me of kaolin, which is in an old-fashioned medicine I remember from my days as a Saturday girl in Boots.

Teal99 · 15/08/2020 22:52

Sounds like something the Rooney's would call their kids.

emilybrontescorsett · 15/08/2020 22:53

Rhymes with sailor and I would say boy.
