Help[Opinions] Kylie m.
in reply to a message by Billina
I don't like any of these, but at least the choice is easier than the other one...Kylie is like a modern fem. form of Kyle, that makes it more substantial than Kayla to me, and I like the sound of it pretty well, even though it is a little too perky for my taste.
Kayla is one of the flimsiest of the AY trend names, and I think it already sounds like the name of a woman who loses all her friends because she keeps inviting them to "parties" where she tries to sell them some plastic merchandise and gets petulant when they don't show. Kassidy isn't a terrible sounding name, but it being a surname gives it way too much brass for my taste, and it seems embarrassing because of being spelled as if the namer was ignorant of surname Cassidy.
btw Has anyone ever heard of a surname-named person marrying someone with the surname that is her (or his) first name, and deciding to go by both names? Like Taylor Taylor or something? I'm curious whether that ever happens.

Well, not exactly. However, I remember about twenty years ago hearing a little filler piece on the radio about some woman up in Minnesota or someplace who was running for some office up there. Her name was Monica Monica. It was apparently her birth name and not a married name. I seem to recall her middle name was Monica too, but that's surely not true, could it be? I mean, it's a bit like Major Major Major.
And somebody told me once that the most common name in a particular city (DC, I think) phone book at one point was Bill Williams/William Williams/Willie Williams. And I once did know a Johnny Johnson.
