A girl I went to school with named her daughter Tenley. I heard it was a name off The Bachelorette(?), but I dunno if that was the mother's inspiration or not. In any case, ew.

A girl I work with has a daughter Kylie and a son Kingston. Ew, ew.

And some people I work with: Morgan (f) Rosaline, April, Dylan, Jeremy, Darrio, Renee, Joshua, Nicole, William, Amanda, Roger,Susan, Carrie, Alexis, Juliette and Alexander...

Renee's middle name is Ethel, which I like because it reminds me of I Love Lucy!

There was a figure skater back in the '60's named Tenley Albright.

Kylie and Kingston are both ok. I'm not crazy about either one, but they aren't as out there as a lot of names nowadays.

Ugh! Ethel is a family name for us and I hate it. So does my poor oldest sister who got saddled with it as a middle name. It was also my grandmother's name and my mother's middle name.

I don't like Tenley. It doesn't exactly sound sophisticated.

Kylie sounds really juvenile. Kingston isn't so bad.

Morgan - I prefer on males

I like Joshua, William, and Roger to varying degrees.

Hate Tenley.

I kind of secretly like Kingston but I'd never use it myself. I had a coworker who had a Signe (pronounced it Sig-ney, which isn't correct and that bugged me) and a Kingston.

I really love Morgan, Rosaline, William, Juliette, and Ethel.

Don't see anything wrong with Tenly. I like Kylie, and Kingston is ok (but I wouldn't use it..)

Every time I see someone outside of Australia or New Zealand with a kid called Kylie all I can think is "WHY????" But then I guess they don't know the bogan connotations over in this part of the world.
