I have always loved this name for a boy, but someone squashed my dreams one day and told me it wasn't a name!

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Anything can be a name. :)

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Seems like it these days!

[rockstarleigha.livejournal.com]

Well I keep changing my mind about names but right now I really love Oakley but honestly I can't decide whether I like it better for a girl or a boy. At first I thought boy but my boyfriend pointed out, like sarahrose, that it was too "stuckupish" but when I think of it on a girl I don't think of it as stuck up at all. Who knows?!

If Apple can be a name, Oakley can be a name.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

To me, Oakley = stuck-up, rich boy. Eh.

[rockstarleigha.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what my boyfriend said!

[caramelskies.livejournal.com]

i think of sunglasses.
but more a boy

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

The sunglasses connotation was the reason I was told it wasn't a name.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

I agree with your first sentence. I wouldn't think of it as a person's name.

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

I think of a last name, or the name of a town, honestly.

I really love that name for a girl. I don't mind it for a boy but I think it sounds more feminine than masculine.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I've thought of it as a name before, to me it sounds somewhat masculine, but then too feminine to be masculine. I consider it unisex, also because it reminds me of a surname. Babynames.com considers it like that.

I can't come up with mn's but I always associate it with the word "oatmeal" XD so it makes me think of honey and wooden houses

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

ohhh sorry I actually meant I couldn't come up with nicknames, don't why I read (and then wrote!) middle names!

For a girl:
Oakley Erin
Oakley Laurel
Oakley Lyrian
Oakley Paige
Oakley Amber

For a boy:
Oakley Ryan
Oakley Thomas
Oakley Peyton
Oakley Jeremy
Oakley Preston

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

also Oakley Phyllis for a girl!

[rockstarleigha.livejournal.com]

I really like Oakley Paige

[decim.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought of those stupid sunglasses.

Boy.

You mean nickname? Lee, I guess.

[decim.livejournal.com]

Wait, what's an mn? I thought it was maybe a typo.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Middle name?

[rockstarleigha.livejournal.com]

middle name.. sorry i was lazy last night and didn't type it out :P

[foxbaby.livejournal.com]

I think of sunnies:)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I used to know a guy called Ashley Oakley, so thats what I think of.
& the sunglasses.

I don't particularly like it, but I think it'd be a boys name

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

That makes me think of Annie Oakley from Annie Get your Gun

[rockstarleigha.livejournal.com]

Oakley Paul is okay.. I can't seem to find a middle name to go with it (as a boys name) that i'm in love with though :(

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I immediately think of Annie Oakley, the sharpshooter.

[godmod.livejournal.com]

It makes me think of the 50 pairs of sunglasses in my friend's closet. And her entire wardrobe from Oakley. She's a little obsessed...

Use it on either boy/girl.

[trtlstars.livejournal.com]

Sunglasses...

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Terrible!

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

I think of sunglasses.

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

I think of a surname honestly...

but I think its a boys name if it has to be a first name

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

I feel like the only person who didnt get the sunglasses reference!

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

me either.

[missbailey.livejournal.com]

Oakely is macculine to me. I quite like the name.
The sunglasses brand did pop into my head but nothing i would worry about really.
its a great name, might just put that on my middle names list.

[missbailey.livejournal.com]

Oakley***

[in-the-starlite.livejournal.com]

When I first see it I think of sunglasses. =\

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I was going to name my cat that...went with Ozzie instead. But I do think of a boy when I hear it..

[audiciousamazon.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl named Oakley.

... she was kind of a slut.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I think Annie Oakley, so girl. And many -ley names are more commonly used on girls. You should get all super-kr8tyve and use Oakleigh. hehe

It is pretty though.
