Kay

What do you think of Kay?

Girl or boy?

Not much, sorry.

Love Kate though!

Very dated and not in a trendy way! It’s normally a nn, typically for Kathleen based on the ones I’ve known.

'Kay.

I think it's better as a nickname than a legal name.

Well I like it. It is simple sweet and fresh.

I like it as a nickname or middle name

I know one. She's just called Kay
She gets called Kate a lot, and people ask if she's called Katherine or Kathleen

I like it and also like Dee

Boring name

I actually really like it

I think it's ok as a nickname, in common with a lot of previous posters, or as a middle name.

Fresh and unusual these days. I have known several and none were short for something else.

It feels too short and a bit boring.

Really don't like it. Every Kay I've known in real life has been awful as well

Bit boring

If you see Kay
Tell him he may
See you in tea
Tell him from me

I hate it, sorry. Really naff.

Hideous

It's my middle name and I hate it

Like it but the only Kay I know is short for Michaela and I much prefer that

Very boring.

Make it short for Katharine if you must.

Really sorry but I don’t like it, sounds like decay

Oh I like this! a unusual at the moment -bit 1950ish- could be the next 'Elsie' or Ethel' but fresh sounding - and easy to spell!

It was at its peak in the 1950s and 60s and derives from Katherine originally. Can't be shortened which is a bonus.

Famous - in its boy version - from The Snow Queen and The Box of Delights.

I'm surprised by the reactions here. I like it. I've only ever know one Kay and it's stood out to me as a great name - a bit like Kit for a boy - that works very well with a long surname.

I too am surprised by the reactions I think it’s a lovely name boy or girl😊
