Why do people seem to dislike the name Kylie so much?
To me, it sounds really pretty, and cute but not too cute. I love the meaning(Boomerang)Is there a reason so many people seem to hate it?

I cannot stand Kylie Minogue. But I love her name!
I like it. I think of Kylie Minogue rather than the Kardashian clan.
Associated with Kardashians reality tv show.

It's strident and grating. "Ky" is not a sound I find remotely pleasant.

I think this is because many names that are popular or "trendy" in real-life are not very well received on this site or vice versa. But I don't hate the name Kylie. Rather, I think Kylie is a pretty name.
I actually have always enjoyed the name Kylie! It's common among my age group, tbh. As a little boy, I also had a stuffed kangaroo that I named Kyleigh (the Leigh spelling was after my mom's middle name 👍🏻). Plus, the Minogue associate is wonderful!
Don't know, I like it
I don’t dislike it. I just associate it with one person (Minogue not Jenner, because I’m Australian and old lol). So I wouldn’t use it.
I think because it's associated with trendy celebrities, but I think it's cute. I wouldn't use it, I still consider it a "trendy" name, but it's a lot better than other trendy names I can think of.
The similarity to Kyle might turn people off too, but the meaning of Kylie is cool.
I don't think either syllable is attractive at all. I also don't like the trendy -lee sound names.
I'm going to take an educated guess.People dislike Kylie because it's been a trendy celebrity name for years. Older people would remember singer Kylie Minogue and for the younger generation, it's all Kardashian.
Exactly!! Reading this I can hear: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Boy, its more than I dare to think about
Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won't you stay
Won't you lay
Stay forever and ever, and ever, and ever
Holy cow! That's enough to put me off the name, and more than enough to make me never want to hear that particular song (which I've escaped so far).
I think people don’t like it because it sounds “made up”. For what it’s worth I like it.
