Outside of Australia, most people only know the name Kylie because of Kylie Minouge. Much as I like her, I think that's what gives the name a tacky feel. It's the same with other names only associated with popstars.

According to this website, which is generally quite reliable, it's more likely to be a female form of Kyle.
And anyway, it has the oh-so-trendy K initial, "y" and nicknamey ending which all make it look tacky to me. I don't see how a name can't be considered tacky just because it's a word in a language. Caprice is a French word but I find it rather tacky as a name.
