Oakley for a girl?

[verityrosa]

I’ve just found the baby name board and I’m new here. 💜
can I ask people’s opinions of the name Oakley for a girl please? And reasons for disliking it, if you do!
Does it go with sisters Scarlett and Bella?

thank you 💕

For me it’s a no, it’s a brand name like Gucci etc so I wouldn’t, she would be teased.

Do you really like the brand?

I completely forgot about the brand 🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you!

Fucking hell, that is awful for a girl or boy

Same as PPs - my sunglasses are
Oakley.

No. I assumed a boys name but if it is a shop then just no.

Other names on the list:
Romy
Willow
Fleur
Faith

Scarlett and Bella are sweet. But Oakley as a first name? No sorry @verityrosa

Romy is lovely.
Not Oakley.

Oakley is really chavvy in my opinion. Fleur is lovely.

Willow is one of my top 5 fave girls names. Adorable!

I love Romy and Faith.

I've known yet Oakleys, both boys.

It does sound more like a boy's name doesn't it?

Sunglasses. And trying to hard to be 'different'.

I’ve only ever heard it for a boy. I don’t know why it couldn’t be used as a girls name though.
It is unisex I suppose.

Every second girl toddler is called Willow, though.

Oh and middle name would be Iris or Fay (the only family names that are special enough to use )

Oh I didn't know that. I only know two, Aged 3 and 5.

I think it’s in the top 5 UK baby girl names now. I know of one Willow, who would be about 17 now - very unusual when she was born!

I love your top four choices and think they go together well with her siblings. I’m sorry but like other posters, Oakley makes me think of either sunglasses or an ancient tree.

Romy Fay is lovely . All the other names on your list are better than Oakley .

Fleur is one of my favourite ever names, but I think it could possibly sound really awful with some accents. I love it written down and get a happy feel from it though 💜

I really don’t like Oakley at all.

Romy is lovely! Willow is OK.

The connotations of Faith would make it unusable to me, but it’s a nice sound. Fleur should be nice but it sounds awful in my accent - like “bleurgh”.

Annie Oakley was great so it is a yes from me

@verityrosa It’s your accent and area that matters. Willow is over used. Oakley? Trees again? I thought of Annie Oakley - but I’m old. Fleur Iris or Romy Iris sound good to me.
