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 💕

@FayCarew well I like it. What about Suki Waterhouse? I guess some people might not like her name either...

If you like it, you like it. It's a bit too close to Oky Doky for me.

Suki's fine, I know a few, but they might spell it differently. I haven't asked.

Have a look on Instagram. I made a mistake - it's Crusoe The Celebrity Dachshund, and it's his brother that's called Oakley. They also have Daphne and Delilah. I think they may live in Florida, or maybe they holiday there. They used to post really funny videos about Crusoe and his brother Oakley, pretending they were cooking, playing tennis, being firefighters, etc etc. but poor old Cru is a bit ancient now.

I see it as more of a boy's name although I'm not quite sure why (have never met anyone with it as a first name). Maybe just because it feels kind of "surnamey."

I was going to aay it immediately made me think of Annie Oakley!

Not as a girl's name, sorry, verityrosa.
She'd be the odd one out as it sounds like a boy's name.

Romy 👍

Romy Iris or Romy Fay doesn't really go together, though, imo.
Not Fleur or Faith for the same reason.

Only heard of it for a boy before. Didn't think of sunglasses but rather an old name in the family vibes, or alternatively botanical name.

As a primary school teacher, I've met a handful of boy Oakley's but never a girl one.

To me, it's one of those names that's cute when they're 5, but absolutely unsuited to a 35yo builder, married and a dad of 3. "Hi, I'm Oakley, I've come to quote for your new windows?"
