I know of both. More make them female. More surname than forename.

It's one of those 'cute' for a small boy but really really weird for a grown man names

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 14/11/2020 08:44

I've taught one and he was a boy.

Chilldonaldchill · 14/11/2020 09:27

I've only met a couple and they were boys.

Mousepad20 · 14/11/2020 09:32

I'd assume boy.

I don't like it.

angstinabaggyjumper · 14/11/2020 09:39

Old Bill Bailey, sounds like biley. Please don't saddle someone with that it's not nice.

VenusClapTrap · 14/11/2020 09:54

Sounds more like a girl's name, but the only one I know is a little boy. It’s a bit of an odd one, as so closely associated with alcohol.

user1493494961 · 14/11/2020 10:59

I know two boys, one girl. I agree with pp, it's better as a surname or drink.

PiperPiper20 · 14/11/2020 11:02

Dog name. I don't like it on humans at all.

YoniAndGuy · 14/11/2020 11:21

Boy, but more reincarnated dog. And terrible, needless to say

SeaKingdom · 14/11/2020 11:25

I would assume boy

Anthilda · 14/11/2020 11:44

Male dog name. Would be awful for a grown man

MikeUniformMike · 14/11/2020 11:52

Dog name

DivisionBelles · 14/11/2020 11:54

I know one of each. Both similar ages, early 20s.

SoupDragon · 14/11/2020 11:57

Labrador.

MikeUniformMike · 14/11/2020 12:11

Not a labrador, a golden retriever.

Justmuddlingalong · 14/11/2020 12:14

The only one I know is a golden retriever.

MrsBrunch · 14/11/2020 12:14

I know a female Bailey.

I think it's one of those names that can be for either sex - Leslie, Francis, etc.

DappledOliveGroves · 14/11/2020 12:18

The one I know of is a boy. Named because apparently they were drunk on Baileys when he was conceived Confused

GinasGirl · 14/11/2020 12:19

I know one child Bailey - a boy. I do also know of several dogs called Bailey too though and that's what I associate the name with now.

jambeforeclottedcream · 14/11/2020 12:20

Both

I know a girl and a boy called Bailey

Dawnlassie · 14/11/2020 12:31

Its the name for a drink.

Or chav.

gottakeeponmovin · 14/11/2020 12:34

I love it as a boys name and I'm not a chav

TheDetectiveBadge · 14/11/2020 12:34

I have taught two: one boy and one girl. Unisex.

RuthW · 14/11/2020 12:35

Unisex but more common for boys

RosieLemonade · 14/11/2020 13:06

@Dawnlassie well as I am a chav it should work well for us 😂
