I used this a middle name for my son Kristopher. It is a name that has been passed down as a middle name for several generations on my husbands side of the family.

I know a girl named Lyle, and for that reason I find it quite feminine. I'm sure if the only time I heard it was on a guy, I would find it masculine, but since my first impression of it was for a girl it just seems to fit for a girl to me.

One of my friends' name is Lyle. I think I like the name because it's not too common and it's pretty nice sounding. However, I can't really imagine it being used on someone very big or athletic. I can really only picture it on a loveable nerd or someone more into academics.

I think this would be a good break from the over-used Kyle, I think the two l's being so close makes it a little hard to pronounce but overall, I would name a son this.

I think Lyle is a great name. But I do agree with an above poster, that Lyle is better suited to someone in academia than athletics.
