Which one would you choose out of these?

Kaya - pr. kah-ya
Phoebe
Alice
Kaylee - Kayleigh is a bit too long for my tastes

Thanks for your help and happy Easter!

DissDissOrDiss · 20/04/2025 17:05

Alice or Phoebe. Really not keen on the others.

mummysmagicmedicine · 20/04/2025 17:08

Alice!
I know two Kaya’s one pronounced Kay- uh and the other Kye-uh so has pronunciation issues.
Phoebe is my sisters name and it always gets spelt wrong!
Kaylee same issue with the spelling and I personally think Alice is a lot nicer! How about Kayla instead?

Alice is lovely, works with all ages, not too common but heard of enough!

Alice is beautiful, Phoebe at a push.

The other two are very different names, I don't like them at all.

uncomfortablydumb60 · 20/04/2025 17:09

Alice “ My” girls name but I had 3 boys

Veggielepsy · 20/04/2025 17:09

Alice.

Phoebe in second place but quite far behind for my taste.

Not really Kaya, it's ok but not much to it.

Definitely not Kaylee.

I like Kirsty if you like K names.

FallingIsLearning · 20/04/2025 17:10

I’m a bit traditional so Alice or Phoebe for me

I don’t like Kaylee or Kaya.

Also be aware that kaya is a popular coconut and egg-based sweet spread in South East Asia, so people from this background may assume it is pronounced as Kai (to rhyme with ‘eye’) yuh.

SherlockHolmes · 20/04/2025 17:22

Alice or Phoebe. The other two are awful.

CiaoMeow · 20/04/2025 17:36

Alice or Phoebe. Both are beautiful.

Anonnnomous · 20/04/2025 17:38

Phoebe or Alice. Too many of those K names about.

stopringingme · 20/04/2025 17:40

Alice would be my first choice followed by Phoebe.

I am not keen on the others.

My favorites are Phoebe and Alice.

PyrannosaurusRex · 20/04/2025 17:44

Any name which requires a (pr. xyz) explanation would be an automatic no for me.

Whoarethoseguys · 20/04/2025 17:46

Alice

BoleynMemories13 · 20/04/2025 17:59

Alice, followed by Phoebe.

I really don't like the other two, especially your spelling of Kaylee (Kayleigh is much preferable, more feminine). Kaya has pronunciation issues, and I don't like any of the potential pronunciations.

Alice is lovely though.

Moreteaandchocolate · 20/04/2025 18:58
  1. Alice (Love)
  2. Phoebe (love)
  3. Kaya (like a lot)
  4. Kaylee (I dislike this)
HeySnoodie · 20/04/2025 18:59

Alice is beautiful

OccasionalHope · 20/04/2025 19:02

Phoebe is beautiful and Alice is OK.

Don’t like the other two.

Alice first, Phoebe second.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 20/04/2025 19:22

Alice or Phoebe. Not that keen on Kaya. Definitely not Kaylee.
