Oakley?

[Strawberryjam88]

What is your views for Oakley for a boy?

I actually love Oakley!

Do you find it a big babyish and not good enough for an adult?

Like the sunglasses??

It's a nice enough name, but because it's a brand name I wouldn't use it.

Plumbers merchants, isn't it?

not a name I would choose but only because that's the name of the village I spent most of my life living in

A good sunglasses brand name I think

I know an Oakley.

Shes lovely.

It is a place name I am familiar with so not completely sold on it.

I know two baby girl Oakleys - both are 6 months old. Seems to becoming more a popular name.

never heard it before, but I think its lovely

Sunglasses

Nice though.

It's a bit like Mason in my mind

I prefer Foster Grant or Ray Ban....

It always makes me think of Ned Flanders and Oakily dokily

I wouldn't. Although spelt differently it does sound like you've named a child after sunglasses.

Why not just go for Oak?

Oh now I'll be thinking that too!

I used to teach a lovely Oakley, about fifteen years ago. He was absolutely inseparable from his best friend, Ashley. That always made me smile.

It's the name of some villages near Corby: Little Oakley and Great Oakley. So he can have somewhere named after him when he's a baby and a grown man!

I think it's terrible.

Sunglasses or horseboxes, or a surname or house name.
Not a first name.

I love this name and would've had it for my third had my husband vetoed it

Sounds like a place, and a brand name. Not attractive as a child's name, although this seems to be becoming a trend. Hopefully it's just a fad.

It's a village name. Or sounds like a biscuit. Sorry but it's awful.

Not my taste but also isn’t it a girls name? I’ve met 3- one would be about 35 now, the others are toddlers. All girls.

I do know of a little girl called Oakley but it’s not my cup of tea.

No. Posh horsebox lorries. Avoid.
