Is Oakley a good boy name?

Question

I keep going back and forth with this name. At first I'm like "yes I like it" then after I say it a few times I'm like "....kinda sounds weird"

Answer

I had an uncle Oakley and Oakley is my girl name when i have one. which i literally never ever ever tell anyone 😭😭😭 so you're lucky I guess lol. but i love the name and everyone will make some dumb comment about the sunglasdes. but that name has been around for soooooo long.

Answer

If you think it's weird to say aloud now, imagine saying it a million times and introducing your son as that to the world.
Being honest I don't like it, I think it sounds more like a pet name than a human name. And it seems pretty feminine for a boy he might not appreciate that.

Answer

If you and husband/partner like it, then that's all that matters! I don't see anything wrong with that name 😊 we are naming our 2nd son Cove. Some people like it and some don't but husband and I love it and that's all that matters 👌💕 good luck!!!

Answer

Oakley is on our list. Everyone unfortunately will have something to say about every name. Hence why this pregnancy we are not finding out gender and we are certainly not sharing any potential names. With our daughter we planned on naming her Hanley and friends and family destroyed the name for us. You do you, let people do them.

Answer

i love Oakley !! we are wanting to choose a unique name also and people aren't liking it. it only matters if you like it !

Answer

That's the name we have picked out for our baby if it is a boy. Oakley Shane (middle name is my father in law's name)

Answer

honestly my fiance has hats, sunglasses and shirts with the word "Oakley" on it so every time I hear it I think of the Oakley brand. like Oakley? you're names after sunglasses? hmm! if I didn't know about that brand I would think it was very cute name tho. like somebody said in a previous comment, say it out loud in your mom voice to tell it and see if it fits like "stop that Oakley" or "Oakley come here now!" something like that. I always do it when I'm trying to decide on a baby name or a pets name.

Answer

It's cute, but I think of it more as a dogs name.

Answer

as in annie Oakley, nope

Answer

I love the name but not for a baby. My ma's dog is named Oakley and my nieces brother is named Oakley and all I think about when I hear it for the brother is the dog and the brand (the dog was named after the brand) and my old street name oakey which is what we call the dog for short.
