Re: Kyla?
in reply to a message by as
I knew a girl at school with this name and thought it was weird when I first met her (it's not at all a common name where I live). It's not that bad but it's a bit council estate and def not something I'd use

The truth is, I have met the right person, only he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him no-one else stands a chance

Council Flats are low-income housing in Britain. That's how my English friends explained it to me when I asked after watching an episode of Little Britain with Vicky Pollard ("white trash"). I take the meaning of "it's a bit council estate" to me uneducated. It's what we think of as hillbilly names here - you know, Bobby-Sue, Jo-Lou, Susie-Jo, Elmer, Billy Ray, etc...
Ps: Yes, I know of Billy Ray Cyrus, I was in love with him for years but the name still has the "uneducated, poor, and southern" connotation.
