Re: Kayley
in reply to a message by Sadie
-Do you like the name in general?
No. It's boring, overused, and too cutesy for my taste. I would like it a lot more, though, if it wasn't so trendy these days.
-What sort of person do you picture when you hear the name Kayley?
I imagine a sterotypical American teenager. That's all. This name is so common and trendy nowadays that it's lost all of its unique flavour, so I can't associate it to any particular attributes rather than the age group it's popular in.
-Do you prefer a different spelling? Are there too many variants?
Kayley is the best way to spell this name, IMO. And yes, there are *way* too many variants of this name, and most of them are downright awful.
- Will it age well?
No. It's too trendy right now, which makes it a "generation" name rather than the unique name for an individual. Right now it's a teen/child/infant name, and sixty years from now on, for instance, it will be branded as a "old lady" name because a huge number of people in that generation will have it.
