know any Kinley's?

We love the name Kinley for a girl but I'm concerned that people will call her "Ken" and that's not going to work for me. Wondering if anyone knows a Kinley and if she has a nickname.

    My aunt's little girl is Kinley, she's a little doll. People often call her Kinsey or Kinsley, but no Ken. Before she was born I had never heard the name, now there are 3 Kinleys in her gymnastics class.

    I don't personally know anyone named Kinley, but I love the name! I don't think Ken would be a natural nn.

    I don't know any Kinley's irl. However, I think Kin or Ken would be natural nn for this name, unless you or your child (when they are old enough) are able to correct people.

    no, I don't know any. But I don't think many people get nicknames against their will.

    I know a Kindli (pronounced the same).  She doesn't have any nn's that I've heard, but people have a hard time remembering her name.

    I don't know any Kinley's But we have decided to name our lil girl Makinley, and i did the same thing worried about nick names cuz Micky and Ken dont work for me either.  So the few people that have asked what her nick name would be we have told them Leelee but she is still my lil Peanut. 

    Also on a side note i have had a lot of people offer their cute ways to spell Makinley (Makynli,Makinli,) but  when your thinking of spelling her name keep it simple cuz a i in a little girls name is cute when she is young but not so cute when she is 70.. just a thought..  We are keeping it Simple staying away from the masculine of Mckinley and going with Makinley..

    There was a Kinley on the last season of the Bachelor.  She was a very nice woman.  I liked her.

    Edit to add:  I'm sorry I'm very worng on this name.  The name of the show was Tenely.  Kinley just made me think of her it was close.

    I know a McKinley, she goes by Kinley. We considered Kinsley for a girl but DH didnt like it. I love Kinley though. Very pretty.

    Yes I actually named my neice Kinley Reese and she is the most adorable little girl.  We call her by her first and middle name almost always!
