Oakley for a boy?

[TheMightyToosh]

Nice of naff, or just downright weird? Can't decide whether I like it or not (DH does, hence it is currently on the table...)

I know one who is 7, i like it.

Naffarooney!

They make sunglasses, it is not a child's name.

Imagine if he is a spotty little geek and his name is Oakley, he will get beaten up - you have to be able to guarantee that he will be super cool and attractive to carry off a name like that!

Ha Ha Ha Ha......you're joking? Right?

Naff.

That just makes me think of the sunglasses... or Oakey Doke the living tree thingy.

Sounds like a brand name, is really not appealing to me.

OMG.
Naff for sure.

Sounds like some invented place that Marks and Spencers would use, like their Oakham chicken and their Loch Muir salmon (or wherever it is)

ooh no, please don't

i know one,who is 4 and he is horrible.

i dislike the kid and i hate the name.....just about puked when i heard it

It's a surname or a

horsebox

isn't it?

Mutant brother of Ashley? (and that's bad enough)

awful

It's awful. Oak, on the other hand, is brilliant. But Oakley is sunglasses.

awful, it's sunglasses

I like it.

I know an Oakley who's 5 and named after a local Bedfordshire village.

He's quite sweet but his mums a bit of a chav.

Awful.Incredibly naff.

There's an Oakley in Hampshire as well.

Part of me really likes it.... but another part of me can't resist the urge to sing "whoooooaaaaaaaaaaooooooooh the Oakley Cokey!"

Ok thank you ladies (or any gents hiding behind those names)...

I'm getting the impression that this is not a good choice and should be removed from the table pronto!

My main concern was the brandname issue, which is coming across loud and clear...

I had an Oakley horsebox. Was very nice.
Not sure about a person name though.

makes me think of an estate agents
