Struggling with names for soon to be DD (due in 3 weeks - eek!).

We wanted to go a bit off-piste, as we can't stand 95% of the top 100 girls' names, and had got as down to Keira or Kyra.

DS found Kaelyn on a baby name site, and we both absolutely love it, but it does seem very American (although apparently it's an old English name meaning waterfall).

Thoughts of the Mumsnet collective?

Isn't it welsh? Spelled Caelyn?

DP and I were really struggling to think of girls name and he is very keen on Cailin (this spelling rather than Kaylyn). It started growing on me but i was worried about were we live, near glasgow, and people would constantly think it was Caitlin and we were just lazy and didn't pronounce the T (think Katie and Natalie).

I still think it's pretty but the pronunciation really puts me off. so we're back to square one!

I don't like it.

If you like 'k' names how about Keeley? I think it's more stylish and cool.

I like it. I like Kayla, Kyla and Myla too.
