Thoughts on Presley? What does it remind you of, if anything?

So a terrible name AND not even spelled correctly? Yikes.

Sorry that was a typo, her name is spelt Presley!

Just awful 😖 😱

I don't particularly like it. The famous namesake just seems a bit too obvious. (I am aware that the surname Presley existed before Elvis but the name is overwhelming associated with him). He/she (not sure whether you intend it for a boy or a girl) will probably get lots of Elvis Presley comments and jokes. Plus there's no guarantee that the child is going to like Elvis's music or appreciate the association.

Apart from the Elvis and his family connection, Presley sounds like a used car salesman's name.

I just can't picture being over a park and calling out "Presley!" without other people sniggering.

They'll be a lot of Suspicious Minds about why you called him that.

Stick to Elvis its a nice name and its been around a long time before Elvis Presley. I don't know what puts people off using the name Elvis?

My first thought about Presley was the minecraft youtuber my kids watch, Elvis didn't even cross my mind.

I went to school with a Presley in the early eighties. It was incredibly out there at the time 🤣🤣

Paedophile singer with an unhealthy relationship with his mother.

I like it. I met a five year old one about a decade ago, living in a different European country (but they were British), at a music class. He had a sibling with another rockstar surname. I thought they were a great sibset.
