I like this spelling much better than Kylee or any other spellings.

I love my name (Kylie). I don't like when it's spelled Kiley for some reason though.

Kylie Flinker played Lucy on Neighbours many years ago.

Both spellings are nice but I seem to lean towards the spelling Kylee. But then again, it is easy to miss an "e" and then it looks like Kyle which is definitely a boys name.

This is my step daughter's name. My husband chose to spell it Kylee to honor his middle name Lee. The name seems very "forever little girl" but I do like the nickname Ky.

Also have seen Kylia which I believe is from this name.

Kylie is my sister's name. It's Celtic, Gaelic, most offten. I agree, Kylie is a much better spelling than Kiley, no offense to anyone with the spelling. My next favorite would be Kylee.

I have also seen my sister's name spelled Kyleigh.

My friend's little sister's name is Kylie. I like the combination Kylie Grace, it's so pretty!

Dated, tired, bogan-esque and downmarket choice.

This name only fits for a certain age, and how will a person be taken seriously when s/he grows up? This name is so trendy that it sickens me; it's tired, blatently trendy, and impractical, and by impractical that I mean that it does not exactly age gracefully. And it's so ironic that the name comes from the one of these Irish surnames: "Ó Cadhla" (KAH-la) or "Ó Chaollaidhe" (KAYL/KEEL-ee-ya), both names meaning "graceful".

I wonder why there is no popularity for Kylie in the Australian records. It's popular in Austalia and in New Zealand.

I prefer this name to a young kid rather than to an 80-year old.

-- CharlieRob  5/10/2007

I think it is a very strong name that would suit a female of any age.

-- sabrinafaye  8/5/2007

Dumb, dumb, dumb name.

-- johann14  9/25/2007

This name, so stupid, so cutesy, taking a boy's name and adding the "ee" sound to the end.

-- arrowhead909  9/28/2007

It's a wonderful name and it's Aussie. :)

-- Koolgal  12/30/2007

I think Kylie is a cute name, but only a short period of time. When he/she gets older, it's not going to fit.

-- jasmineenimsaj  1/14/2008

Trash. I can't believe it's so popular in the US and Canada. It's as dated as hell in Australia and New Zealand.

My youngest daughter's name is Kylie. I usually go for old-fashioned names, or biblical names, even though my family isn't particularly religious, but for some reason "Kylie" just sticks in my head. I think it's both beautiful and cute, and I don't think she'll have any more of a problem growing up with her name than the Traci's and Tiffani's of the 80's and 90's.

Kylie is a dated, trashy and silly name.

-- Anonymous User  6/14/2008

I love this name, it's beautiful. My best friend's name is Kylie, and though yes it does seem to be a younger person name, I think it will fit her even when she gets older. All I really know about it is that its origin is old Irish, and it's not just taking the name Kyle and adding an 'ie' at the end. It's a much older name than people think.

-- Fluffy_Thewerewolf.  6/30/2008

My friend named her daughter this. She was going to name her Riley, but her husband prefered Kylie. I'm glad she named her Kylie. I actually like the name Kylie better than Riley.

I have seen some reviewers saying the name Kylie is trash. But I actually think it's cute and "catchy." And the Aboriginal meaning is nice, which is "a boomerang." A boomerang will always come back to you. I think that meaning is powerful.

-- Coffeebean  9/26/2008

One of my "guilty pleasure" names. I love Kylie, but I'd never use it 'cause by the time I do start having kids, there'll be a bunch of teenage Kylie / Rylee / Briley's.

-- WilderThanBridget  10/25/2008

If you are in Australia or New Zealand, the name IS generally viewed as dated and trashy. I grew up with lots of Kylies and Kylees. It's flaky and ugly and I forget it's so trendy in the US right now. It's done its dash in Aus/NZ unless you are into to those bogan type names. ;)

-- Anonymous User  11/25/2008

The name is actually from the Celtic/Gaelic origin, meaning "Beautiful". It is the feminine form of Kyle, which means "Handsome".

-- Anonymous User  1/4/2009

I like the name Kyle but I cannot stand Kylie. This is one of the worst names you can give someone, it is so childish. Think your daughter is going to appreciate this name when she is older? If this were my name I would legally change it and use a nickname in the meantime.

-- Anonymous User  2/26/2009

This is one of my favorite names in the whole world! This name has a great meaning (not that that makes a difference) and also has a nice ring to it.

-- Emiita06  3/14/2009

My name is Kylie and I have never particularly liked it. I think it is dated in Australia.

-- Anonymous User  7/8/2009

Although this name is cute for a little girl or a teenager, I could not picture it on an adult or elderly person, so I would never use this name. I also think it sounds like a nickname and not a full, formal name.
