Kayla for a girl?

[AnAngelWithin]

Pronounced as K-ay-lah, noy k-eye-ler (if that makes sense!!) me and dh like his name, but what are your opinions? Someone I spoke to said it sounds a bit 'chavvy'?? Honest opinions appreciated ! Thanks.

It reminds me of the baby in "The Giggler Treatment" by Roddy Doyle. She is a cool baby who is loved by everyone in the family so much she doesn't need to say anything but "Ah bah".

I think Kayla will be the next big popular name here, it's lovely! In america it's quite popular, my DDs cousin (4) is called Kayla, she's not chavvy or white trash at all.

Sorry, but I don't like it at all. It does sound chavy.
I like traditional names, or at least ones with meaning.

Chavvy. As in the US. Anyone remember the name of the white trash woman's daughter who became Scavo's step-daughter? You guessed it: Kayla.

Have you read the book Freakonomics....

'Kayla is considered a "low-end" name, meaning it is primarily chosen by parents of low socio-economic status'

That's all I'm saying. Sorry.

Kylie,Kayleigh,Kayla,Kyla,
all a bit dated and not really 'grown up' names imho but I'm not keen on 'chavvy'as an adjective.

Kayleigh must be due a comeback, Transformers style, as all those named after the Marillion hit reach their quarter century.

Followed by Kylie in 2013.

I really don't have any love for this rash of names which start with K and end in 'a'. Kayla/Kaila/Kyah/Kyla. Yick. Totally bogan.

Kayla is a real arabic, ethiopian and hebrew name, whatever it's socio-economic connotations. I like it.

sorry its (don't want to be accused of having chavvy grammar too)

xx

I like it.

Kayla is a lovely name although some people may say its sounds chavvy ?????

There are also some names that are commonly for a more ethnic group and so that's why some people may be put off although i think that that should name your child what ever name you like!- go with how you feel and what you and your DH likes!

Good Luck (comment not meant to offend!)

its the c word. (it's quite pretty though!)

yes, Michaela is the only way to go.

and you must spell it Michaela. Not Mikayla...

Hi, does anyone think Emily, Lucie and Ruby go well together?

its a popular name here in aus, but it is slightly "chavvy", or as we would say bogan

Sorry, but it sounds like an old drunk clearing a lump of phlegm from his throat.

Chav, low end, conjures up image of scrunchied ponytailed girl with gold knuckledusters, smoking a fag while trying to chat up some boy called Jayden.

Step away from the name

Kayla is fine for a girl.

Would be stupid for a boy.

Sorry, I cant relate this to a baby as its my dogs name.

i know a couple- it is very chavvy IMO
