WDYTO Kingsley?
Kingsley has been kind of growing on me (for a boy). Is it usable or should it stay a GP?

I've never read/watched Harry PotterI don't like it. It reminds me of both Kingly and Kings, either way it makes me think of a title or an adjective.

I just can't shake the Harry Potter association, so it's not usable for me. I do think it's a nice name though.

My mind immediately goes to Harry Potter. Not that it's a bad association by any means. However, seems a bit silly on a muggle :) lol! I'd probably keep it as a GP name.

I associate it with Kingsley Holgate, who is on Wikipedia and in fact all over the Web and well worth looking up.Any little boy would surely be delighted to be named after him.

I like it, it's been on my list a few years, but I favor Kingston lately.

I like it ok. It isn't a name I would use, but it isn't horrible.

Sorry but I hate it. Both the king & sley part effortesly makes me turn my head away from the name. I don't like titles as names or names that are close to it (Queen, Queenie, Prince, Princeton, Princess, King, Kingston for examples)
I hate every name ending in that -'sley' they are just so...ugly! (Presley, Ainsley, Ansley, Paisley and so on.) Yuck!!

I find Kingsley really silly. It's trying so very hard to sound fancy, but it misses the mark. I'd keep t filed under GP.
