A little old man but its cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910576 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:24:50 +0000 meredithNYC 1910576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: It's not short for anything, so I totally agree that a longer middle name is necessary (particularly as we have a one syllable, extremely common last name).</p> <p>@runnerd: Must be the Lyle Lovett connection again! I'm not too worried about the "country" thing since we are so far from it. My husband is pretty much the stereotype of an Englishman, lol.</p> <p>@dagret: I have never met a Lyle! It's such an uncommon name, it seems. Your husband might find this date interesting: <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=lyle" rel="nofollow">http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=lyle</a></p> <p>@Caly: NO WAY! Two fairly uncommon names paired together like that. Crazy.</p> <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Thanks!</p> <p>@Iced Tea: I think so, too :happy: </p> <p>Thanks, everyone, for the feedback good and bad. I had such a strong reaction from friends that I was kind of like, whoa, maybe this IS an awful name?! And I'm kind of surprised that it seems to be having a bit of a resurgence, based on the number of people who say they know little boys with this name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910495 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:49:43 +0000 lilyann 1910495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE that name! A sorority sister just named her little boy that and it makes him seem like he has an old soul already :grin: I like older names though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910476 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:43:04 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1910476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its not for me but I knew a Lyle once too so maybe that's why </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910474 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:42:42 +0000 MrsSCB 1910474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! I also think of Lyle Lovett, but that's not a bad thing. And like you said, I doubt many people of his generation will necessarily know who that is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910467 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:41:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1910467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a toddler named Lyle and he's the sweetest, cutest toddler! </p> <p>Overall, I say go with what YOU and your DH love :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910446 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:34:25 +0000 Iced Tea 1910446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. It sounds friendly to me. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910434 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:29:07 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1910434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a toddler named Lyle. I love it. Unexpected, but fits a lot of preferences people have (easy to say/spell). I think it is wonderful with a Gwen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910426 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:26:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1910426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go with your gut, I'm not a huge fan of it but that's because of a situation I had with a Lyle who wasn't a nice guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910408 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:17:14 +0000 Caly 1910408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt &amp; uncle (married) are named Lyle &amp; Gwen. Too funny.<br /> I'd ignore what friends say &amp; go with what you love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910369 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:58:59 +0000 dagret 1910369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: it's my husband's name so I really like it. He gets "Kyle" a lot though. And Lloyd for some reason. ETA, his middle name is 3 syllables.</p> <p>Also, ETA, If you've ever seen Lyle Lovett in concert you would totally get why Julia Roberts married him. Good Lord, that man is *incredibly* talented and may have made me swoon. SERIOUSLY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910236 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 23:33:16 +0000 mlm2934 1910236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, not a fan. Sounds a little country for my taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910227 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 23:13:49 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1910227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910222 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 23:04:45 +0000 fairy 1910222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good name! I think your and your husband's opinion matters most in this situation ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910153 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:30:49 +0000 dolphin 1910153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm meh about it, but I love Gwen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910119 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:11:42 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1910119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Lyle Lyle Crocodile! Is Lyle not short for anything? If not, I think it would sound nice paired with another, longer (3-4 syllable?) name... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910050 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:30:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1910050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: that's my only association</p> <p>Although Lyle Lovett was not a classically handsome man, he was talented &amp; a pretty woman found him interesting. </p> <p>if you like it go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910049 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:29:54 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1910049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not a fan, but I'm a firm believer that as long as mom and dad love it, it's great for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910046 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:27:43 +0000 coopsmama 1910046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it but only because it's the name of a guy who has catered for several family events and he has the dirtiest mouth of all time (makes incredibly sexual jokes about women). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1910033 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:23:47 +0000 yellowbird 1910033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reminds me of my dhs uncle!!!

He was such an unfortunate looking man, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-boy-name#post-1909951 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 19:29:37 +0000 lawbee11 1909951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it.
