Lyle?

[windandtherain]

What is everyone’s opinion of this name?. I have fell in love with it a bit, we have a DS named Adam and I’ve struggled to find boys names that I love. Are there any negative connotations with the name?

I also think Tate & Lyle syrup but if that's not an issue for you OP then it's fine.

There’s a 3/4 year old Lyle in my son’s nursery class and it’s just made me fall in love with it. It’s not a name you’re likely to hear day to day, but it’s recognisable & memorable and, on a little boy, sweet. I think of Silas or Len being a similar vibe.

No

Another Scot here, who thinks it's a perfectly normal name. I've never heard of the Lyle I know having any issues with his name.

It’s a really ugly name. Especially compared to an all time classic like Adam.

The bloke that was married to Julia Roberts for 5 mins..

It’s ok, it’s a 50s Americana type name like Austin, or I dunno.. chip

Adam is a lot nicer

How about Laurence, or Caleb or something with some cultural weight, like Adam.

If you’re speaking English, it really doesn’t!

Old man vibe

I like it. It's definitely Scottish imo and also has a country music vibe, but classier than the usual country music

Serial killer name.

Also one called Adam and one called Lyle. Sounds like you hate your second child...

Another scot here, I have a 10 year old called Lyle.

It's a shame to give your first child such a lovely name and not do the same for your second child.

I really like it. A lot. I vaguely know a guy (aged early 50s) called Lyle, and he's really lovely. I say go for it!

My Dad had an old friend called Lyle. He was a gentleman and a skilled worker with a sense of humour.

That taints my view of the name. It's a strong name.

I’m not sure how you’ve come to the conclusion that I hate my second child based off a perfectly fine name. If I was planning on calling him shit head or something similar then I’d understand🙄.

Not a fan of Laurence or Caleb unfortunately but thank you for the suggestion

I do like Silas and Len too.

I really like it. But anything on MN that may remotely be surname related will get hate.

I’m from Scotland so it is a bit more common for me. But now I’m slightly put off by the PP saying it sounds like I hate my child.

Dreadful. Will be in a class with Lila, Isla, Lyla and Delilah

We’re in a remote area and the classes are small and I know of one Isla around here but none of the other names. But it also wouldn’t bother me if he was in a class with people with this name. Not sure why it would?

I like it
I also love Niall
