Kinley or Dylan?

in Baby Names
My husband and I are having a girl and are having trouble deciding between Kinley and Dylan. Either way the middle name will likely be Elena. I'm hesitant about Kinly because it doesnt seem like a name for an adult woman and hesitant about Dylan because, though i like boys names for girls, i dont want it to be annoying for her to grow up with a traditional boys names. What do you think?

    Both of your reservations are more than enough reason to choose another name.

    I think you should name her Elena.

    As I said on Sept board...

    Honestly, I'm not a fan of either for a girl. I think the hesitations you have are ones I share and they would prevent me from using the names. If I had to choose between the two, I'd say Dylan, but I would keep looking.

    Yeah, I don't like either one....

    If I had to choose, I'd pick Dylan, because I agree that Kinley is just way too cutesy for an adult woman.

    Have you considered "softer" unisex names? Think Harper, Emery, Brynn, Ryan, Briar, Spencer, Avery, Sydney, Rowan, Morgan, Lane, Quinn... A guilty pleasure of mine is Bryce.

    Honestly, I dislike them both.  Elena is a much better first name, and it will translate well into adulthood.

    How about "neither?" Dylan is a boy name. Kinley is a made up cutesy trendy name.

    I like Kinley better than Dylan :)

    Dylan is just to much of a boy name for me

    Both are terrible.  Kinley is absolutely vomit worthy IMO, Dylan is not a girls name.  Elena is nice.
