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!

Kaylee will be judged. Hard. Possibly even to the extent of quietly missing opportunities for being stereotyped.

Lascivious · 21/04/2025 18:46

Kaya and Kaylee are too horrible for words.

in order of preference
Alice, Phoebe, Kaya. Not kaylee

This.

ClaredeBear · 21/04/2025 18:48

Phoebe -
not Kayley

Mistyglade · 21/04/2025 18:48

Alice is nice but the others are not at all, sorry.

Mumofyellows · 21/04/2025 18:48

Alice or Phoebe.
Not Kaylee...

Iloveyoubut · 21/04/2025 18:49

100% all in with Alice

Mumofyellows · 21/04/2025 18:48

Alice or Phoebe.
Not Kaylee...

I can’t hear Kaylee without hearing Fish singing “is it too late to say I’m sorry?”

SkibidiSigma · 21/04/2025 18:53

I know I'm in a minority but I can't stand the name Alice. It seems prim and proper and slightly wet. It's literally a lice, and always makes me want to sing 'Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?'. But it's obviously a really popular name and there is not a single name that everyone will like 🤷

From your list Phoebe is by far my favourite

Togetheragain45 · 21/04/2025 18:54

Alice or Phoebe, the others definitely not.

I'm glad someone mentioned this before I did.

Don't like any of the names.

jazzybelle · 21/04/2025 19:10

Phoebe.

EvilBeaker · 21/04/2025 19:12

Kaylee is 80s-tastic
Kaya - will be pronounced in a number of different ways
Alice and Phoebe are both fine.

I always judge names on the basis of what I'd be happy to be called.

Happy with Alice, okay with Phoebe.

I'd be really embarrassed with the K-names, and would change my name as soon as I legally could. If you feel you need to go with the K-names, please not Kaylee, it's truly awful.

What do you mean?

You’ve been strangely invested in trying to elicit explicitly rude comments about these names @doreeen

doreeen · 22/04/2025 00:06

No I just feel like I’m missing something? I don’t understand such strong words- ‘truly hideous’ ‘Awful’ ‘dreadful’- for a fairly inconspicuous name that doesn’t appear to have a terrible meaning (from a quick google anyway).

Pices · 22/04/2025 00:08

@TheSharpHamHow on earth can Phoebe and Alice be chav names?! I adore Phoebe.
