Comments for the name Kingsley

Comments for KINGSLEY:

Kingsley Shacklebolt is a character in the Harry Potter books.

This is a very cool, tomboyish name for a girl.

I don't mind boys' names on girls, although it's sort of sad when they become popular. But the King part just makes this way too masculine for me, and I don't think most young girls would want to bear such a name.

I absolutely adore this name, and Kingsley Shacklebolt is such a great character in the Harry Potter books. It's completely cool and masculine. I love it! Terrible name for a girl though, in my opinion.

Naming a girl Kingsley makes about as much sense as naming a boy Queensley.
-- WhitePhantom  8/13/2007
Meh, this name is just okay. Actually, Queensley sounds awesome, especially for a boy.

I don't like this name for either sex, but it's positively awful for females. The name is very surname-y, and it sounds masculine even ignoring the obvious fact that it has the ''king'' in it, which seems weird on anyone female.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone having this name who lives outside of the UK.

First of all why can't you imagine anyone outside the UK having this name? Second of all this name I really love! For a boy or a girl, it's so lovely on a boy and I can just imagine a little tomboy girl (or even a girly girl for that matter) having this name, suiting it and loving it! This name I would consider as a middle name for a future child and possibly as a nickname instead of their first name.

This name in my opinion is strictly masculine. I mean, it makes no sense to name a girl KINGsley. But for a boy, this name is awesome!

I think the name Kingsley would be quite fitting for a cat. It sounds great and it is cute!

Seriously if you insist on naming a girl this, she will hate your forever. The number of female names way outnumber male names, so let's just leave it to the boys.

This reminds me of Ben Kingsley. Plus: I love the way it sounds. It rolls off the tongue so easily. I can't wait to name my future boy this name.
-- next_garbo  10/26/2011
This name remind me of Kingsley Shacklebolt, my favorite Harry Potter character. Who I love from the Order of the Phoenix.
But it's a nice name too for a boy.
