Kyle

I can't believe how harsh and negative these comments are. Personally, I think Kyle is a wonderful name. It is short and simple, yet strong and enduring. It is playful and charismatic, yet wise and mature. It ages well, and it is aesthetically pleasing.

If your name is Kyle, don't let the rude commenters tear you down. If they have nothing better to do than insensitively post an insulting comment about a name that isn't even their own, they are not worth your time. Your name is awesome, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Believe it or not, I think Kyle is a timeless name and I do not think it is really dated to me.

I was born with the name Kylie, but I go by Kyle because me and the people around me agree it suits me better! I believe it can be used for either gender, but everyone's opinion is different and that's cool in my book :)

For some reason i feel like this is really similar to Chad. Like the names would be friends or smth? I don't even know.

This is a good name. It's definitely more of a masculine name in my opinion. I can't imagine a woman named Kyle. It sounds a bit too ridiculous, and would probably get bullied for having a guy's name as a girl.

Extremely uncool name, I hate the fact it's used on boys.

It's a modern and cool name! If I ever have a son I might call him this!

Kyle will remain as a baby girl's name ok? Don't say that this name is stupid.

I also love the name Kyle! It is a very masculine name and it sounds super sophisticated but also trendy.

All of the Kyles that I know are charming and very sweet! ⚘❤⚘

When I think of the name Kyle, I imagine a man with a genuinely caring heart but also very intelligent and admirable in many different ways! ❤❤❤

---

As a side note... I think Kyle is a very masculine name (not unisex!) There are amazing alternatives (for girls), though, such as Kylie, Kaylie, and Kayla!

---

And for those that love this name, keep it up! I love the name Kyle, too! :)

This name has a douchey feel to it, especially since it's a slang term. The Kyle Rittenhouse association makes it even worse.

Kyle is for boys and Kylie is for girls, simple. Kyle isn't a unisex name.

The 1980s wants this name back. Very outdated.

Though I don't like this name for its rough sound, I still think it is a masculine name. For those who want to use it for their daughters, they probably would regret it.

I think Kyle is a cool modern name. When I think of this name, I picture a sporty type of boy who especially loves to skateboard. For a girl, use Kylie instead; she may be mistaken for a boy her entire life.

Very unattractive.

I don’t really like it. Kyle on a girl sounds borderline hilarious to be honest. I’ve heard worse though.

This name is so overused. It's like Michael was in the 70s and 80s.

Never heard a girl named Kyle, Kylie yes, but Kyle no. This name should be strictly for boys.

I don't like this... But I LOVE Kylie, Kyleigh, etc.

B. o. R. i. N. g.

This name is really nice.. On a 25 year old man!

Makes me think of a rude teenaged boy with blonde hair. I don’t like it.

Well, I just don't like this name. It doesn't even look nice and sounds also la ittle bit childish. Also, seems like a popular name these days. Don't know why, because this looks like one of those boring names. Just boring.

When I hear the name Kyle I picture a very angry young boy around 12-15 who’s obsessed with axe body spray, monster energy drinks, and video games.

I have always loved this name A LOT, reminds me of the 80s/90s, and I adore those decades.
It's simple to pronounce, easy to spell, rolls off the tongue well, and even looks nice written down. I do think this name is definitely a male name though (personal opinion).

Kyle is for boys. Kylie is for girls. It’s not hard! Kyle isn’t a unisex name.

I have never liked the name Kyle. It is way too trendy and it doesn't age well at all. It sounds incredibly childish and I can't imagine anybody over the age of 30 called Kyle. Also, all of the Kyles I have met were truly nasty people, and I personally have never met a decent person with this name.

Kyle is a boy's name ONLY and is definitely not for girls.

This is my son's middle name. I think it is very strong and handsome. I think it would sound nice on a girl- I find it cute when girls have boyish names. I recommend this name for use on both sons and daughters!

There's that Kyle meme going around that says guys named Kyle drink energy drinks and punch walls.

I hate Kyles. Kyles are ugly and disgusting. You cannot and will not change my mind! ):

Nice name for a boy/man even though Wikipedia and other sites says this name is unisex but “Kyle” in my opinion does not sound feminine at all.

Such a manly and attractive name. I seriously am considering this name for use.

It's fine as a boy's name, but too masculine for a girl. Use Kylie instead.

Imagine saying "I want a baby named Kyle" and then naming your DAUGHTER "Kyle" like an idiot.

Nice.

I know that Kyle should be unisex, but in my book it’s a boy’s name. It doesn’t sound bad on a girl, it’s kind of feminine. With that being said, it’s all boy to me. It would be unique to be a girl named Kyle, but yes. It might be confusing, especially when she has a boyish middle name paired with it that will really lead her to gender confusion for sure. Kyle is a cute name, but for a boy.

Man boy name.

I definitely think that Kyle is one of those names that should be simply kept masculine. If you really like this name, please just use a variant like Kylie or Kyla. It could become very confusing for a girl who has a boy’s name.

I like my name, though my dad doesn't.

Not my problem though, because I don't live at home anymore!

Kyle is an obnoxious name.

This is a nice classic name for a boy. You can call your child whatever you like, but if you give your daughter this name, she will be teased.

Very masculine name. I love it. Reminds me of someone who works in business or a CEO type.

I became aware of the name Kyle after the Terminator movie also but I didn't name my son "after" the terminator. I named my other son Conner - which I heard from the Outlander movie for the first time. Again, I just liked the name after hearing them. They have a Celtic sound. Of course, people in my age bracket thought I named both sons after the Terminator because of the Kyle character in the movie and the woman's name was Sarah Conner. Duh... who would name them after the movie. I named them that because I heard the name for the first time - as Kyle was not a common name at that time - and I simply liked them. I think Kyle is a nice name. It was a common name in the 90s to name your child.

Beautiful name mostly because it's my name, lol.
It reminds me of bacon- wonderful.

The name Kyle reminds me of Kylo Ren from Star Wars. I think it sounds very masculine and attractive.

If you say a girl can't be named Kyle, you're stupid. People can name their children whatever they want to. It's a cute unisex name and it doesn't hurt you if someone names their kid Kyle.

One of the teacher's kids from my school has this name, and she is a girl. Because of the teacher's accent it sounds like he named her Kale though, lol.

It's a great American name, but it's so over-used. Already you can pin-point the age of those with this name, it's way more trendy than Ryan, which is much more classic.

Kyle is an extremely babyish, obnoxious and elitist, and it doesn't sound strong at all, it just sounds like a name of a typical jerk in his 20's.

I know several women named Kyle. I don't like this name as it's very dated but I do agree that it sounds more masculine. But then again, the names Avery, Ashley, Logan, James, Riley were once used for boys but are becoming unisex. I guess Kyle is headed that way. But Kyle isn't a name I like for anyone born today. It really sounds like a boy from the 80s.

What is so feminine about the name Kyle? That makes me sad to think that it was just a boys' name, although I'm female with a unisex name as well, but Kyle? Wow. It's like naming a guy Kyla.

By the way, I have a character named Kyle from my series. :) Very sweet and adorable, as well as agile and flexible.

Sorry, but this name is so dated from the 80s. The few Kyles I knew growing up were short and kinda punks. Never liked the name.

My boyfriend is named Kyle and I fell in love with his name. It is so easy to say in many ways. I wouldn't call my daughter Kyle because every time I say or hear it, I imagine a strong man, but I am not saying that it is not a great name for a girl too!
I am a fan of this name :))

A bit plain and boring in my opinion but it's still a decent name. I find it to be a lot more interesting than many names out there today.

Well the name Kyle, for a girl, has worked for me for nearly 50 years. I was born WAY back in 1967 and have been named Kyle ever since and back then NO ONE had unusual names! I rather like it for this gal! It was NOT a name that my folks picked for the baby regardless of if I had been a boy or a girl. It was their GIRL'S name. So, it is a great name as far as I am concerned. Just sayin' :)

When I get older I'm going to name my kid if it's a boy Kyle. I love this name so much. I don't know why but a lot of people hate this name! I love everything about it, How it's spelled I love the sound of it as well! I do recommend this name.

I like this name for a boy. However, I'm not going to name my kid Kyle. And why would you give this name to a girl?! It's not flattering I would rather you name a girl Kyliee. Kyliee is way prettier than Kyle for a girl. But for a boy, Kyle sounds like a great name!

I named my son Kyle as there was a hero paratrooper and I thought he was so noble and when I looked at him I just knew Kyle would be the perfect name. At the time I didn't realize everyone else was naming their baby's Kyle too, unfortunately. I remember going to the highland Games in Montreal Quebec and he was two years. I had to call him as he was running around and realized that several other children of approximately the same age stopped in their tracks, they were also named Kyle the poor moms and I just laughed it off, one even said Great Minds, eh?

It's so common for boys but it's okay I guess. You'd have to be crazy to give this to a girl though. Why on earth would you name your daughter Kyle when you have the feminine versions Kylie and Kyla?

So dated and boring. Most Kyle's are predictable jerks. Forget it. Move on.

Kyle is a little bit of a plain & boring name, but it's a cute, nice name for a guy nonetheless.

Common, common Kyle. Everyone named Kyle is 27 now. Just such a trendy name that you can pin-point to a certain time. If it stayed more classic like Ryan it would be cooler. But it didn't.

I knew a Kyle who was a horrible person, a liar, a cheat and used girls then dumped them... to say that a NAME makes you wholesome is just plain naive.

I graduated with a girl named Kyle in 1976, Lee Meriwether the actress, has a daughter named Kyle, my sister-in-law’s middle name is Kyle and my daughter is named Kyle, (born 1987) she went to school with another girl named Kyle (born 1985) My daughter loves her name!

I hate the name. It's overused and boring. It's even worse on a girl. What part of it sounds feminine? I will never know.

I love the name, Kyle! I don't care how many people share it. It is still an awesome name. Also, some people I talk to think that it is pronounced with one syllable, but I think it is two syllables and sounds better that way.

My name is Kyle and I like it just fine. But it is kind of annoying how many Kyles there are. I'm in college right now, and one of my roommates is Kyle, it gets very confusing, we even work at the same place!

I really think it's pretty, though, on a girl. Kyles that are girls are always special people.

My name is Kyle and I am a girl. It's taken me a long time to really like my name. It's quite different when a girl has this name. Most people who comment on it like it. But I've also had many people either give me weird looks or say they aren't a fan. But for anyone who is thinking of naming their girl Kyle, please don't. People teased me a lot growing up and it's just a pain when people ask if its short for something or if it's pronounced Kylie. They just always have to comment on it. And next time anyone meets another girl named Kyle, please be nice and say you like it or just don't comment at all.

Kyle sounds like the name for a tree or a plant - also it rhymes too easily with vile - not a good choice.

This is a very cool name; perhaps for youth. I can't imagine though, and old man named Kyle.

The name sounds very good for a boy! I am using this name for a fan character!

Very nice name!

I used to like this name very much, but now I think it is just okay. It is getting to the point of being overused, which I don't like very much. At least it's not in the top ten, though, but its popularity seems to be increasing.

Actually, I take that back. It's growing on me.

I'm not a fan of this name. I don't like the combination of the 'K' and later the 'l' in the one syllable.

My boyfriend's name is Kyle and I've really grown to like it. Although I won't be calling our future kid Kyle, it has a nice ring to it.

I have always liked the name Kyle. It sounds handsome and gentle. It is no wonder it has been so popular.

I love this name for a guy but I also know girls with this name. All the Kyles I know are such nice people, are great to have fun with and are the hottest men/boys around. (they also drink like fish ;-))

Kyle is a pretty nice name, other than the fact that all the Kyles I know are extremely annoying! Nevertheless, I like this name!

My name is Kyle, and I have experienced over my lifetime how popular this name actually is. Every where I would go I would find that there would be several other Kyles along with me, this getting very confusing. Nevertheless, I am proud to have this name!

This became my favorite name for a boy after I saw "The Terminator."
