I think Presley is a cool name. I have only seen it used for girls and would prefer it for a girl myself. Other spellings I have seen are Preslea, Preslee, Preslei, Presleigh and Presly.

I like Presley only for a boy. I don't get all of these parents using surnames on their daughters. Who do you think of when you say the name Presley? Elvis! Elvis was. Male! Stop naming your daughters surnames.
Wow. Presley is just so COOL! I mean, I know people would think of Elvis Presley, but still. I once actually considered naming a future son Elvis Presley, but then I realized that the kid would be made fun of.
It sounds quite tacky, because people would assume the name is a tribute to Elvis. On the other hand, it's not that terrible, if you cam get past the Elvis association, and the fact that it's very surname-y and a bit boyish.
It doesn't sound one bit feminine, and everyone will assume you named her after Elvis. I don't think Elvis would've liked his surname used as a first name, particularly on girls.
I love this name as a first name for a female or male, or as a surname! I am on this website because I want to change my first name, I'm just trying to get some ideas but I'm really stuck on this name. I'm only looking to change my first name, and I think Presley sounds good with Ann.
I really don't like this name. Imagine an old person named Presley! The alternative spellings are worse. This names to trendy. The only way I think mothers would name their child this, is that Elvis Presley is their idol or something. It's only cute on a pet dog.
