Alexandra

I would have said she is trying for Keely/Keeley possibly having watched Ted Lasso and not recognised the spelling.

if so Keeley is actually a perfectly fine name with sports star/actress and a character based on it

KiLeigh..... Is it too late to say I'm sorry (for naming you this)

I saw what you did there

😅

Nanny0gg · 14/01/2025 14:26

This is the first thread that's really made me laugh in ages.

Well done all!

Alexandra is lovely. KiLeigh is terrible.

How about JimberLeigh?

Alexandra. If you call her kileigh she will forever have to spell her name.

SoupDragon · 14/01/2025 14:48

Kileigh is truly awful.

Kylie is OK but your "interesting" spelling is dreadful.

I'm just shocked that someone would choose both those names and they're complete opposites.

One is timeless, classic and and elegant.

The other looks like someone taking an already not-great name and trashing it even further.

Yes, exactly. What are the chances, seriously?

Someone's toying with us.

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/01/2025 15:11

I wouldn’t saddle your child with such an awful name. Alexandra is lovely.

evilharpy · 14/01/2025 15:31

This thread is MildLeigh amusing.

What's wrong with a traditional girl's name like Balonza?

Balonzagh surely?

ginasevern · 14/01/2025 16:07

How can the same person like a classy name such as Alexandra and a trashy name like KiLeigh. It's sort like choosing between Hugo or Shane. It doesn't stack up.

Stepfordian · 14/01/2025 16:16

You should definitely go for KiLeigh, so yooounyke and interesting, your European ancestors would be so proud of you! Plus it means when your child is up against mine for a job, and they look at the CVs mine will have the advantage of not being called KiLeigh 🤣

Thank you ..
I like Alexandra too
Kileigh my fave.
Yes I know this site is from Europe by the way my relatives originally were from there. Scotland, Germany, France,, and Ireland.
Thank you.

In which case, Kayleigh is a better option and Scottish. Hell, there is even a song!

Alexandra is far nicer.

MrsS11 · 14/01/2025 16:56

@MagpiePi both pretty common, real names where I live (NE Scotland)

Hugo and Zchainne

KayEmAy · 14/01/2025 18:28

Love Alexandra. One of the few names where I love all the nicknames as much as the full name :)

Because I assume (or hope) she likes the name Keely/Keeley and doesn’t know how to spell it

I think some of the more unfortunate names start that way - some misspellings even become commonplace (Shawn for example)

LittleBigHead · 14/01/2025 20:46

KiLeigh????????

Is that even a name or can you not spell Kylie ??

Horrible name

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 14/01/2025 21:15

Please god, no! 😂

sanityisamyth · 14/01/2025 21:20

What the fuck is KiLeigh?

Nanny0gg · 16/01/2025 12:43

LittleBigHead · 14/01/2025 20:46

KiLeigh????????

Horrible name

For complete accuracy (letter names v letter sounds) it should be KI-Leigh

But as this can't be real...
