What do you think of this name

[dmpmercury]

I am having a hard time choosing a boy's name this time. I like old fashioned names that are not super common but not out there either. I been really digging Lyle recently and I am considering this name. I wanted to see if it had a strong negative reaction.

I think it's a fine name, but so do a lot of other people. Its popularity is growing, so your son may not be the only Lyle in his circle.

[MissMorgan]

I think its a really cute name. If YOU like it you should go with it!!!! TRUST YOURSELF!

[zinemama]

It's fine. Kind of hip. But classic, too. Plus, Lyle the crocodile in the house on East 88th Street!

[MaerynPearl]

Only connection I can think of is to Lyle Lovett and thats not a bad connection at all.

Its a nice name, very classic but not trendy.

I have a strongly negative visceral reaction to the name Lyle. I don't know why.

I like Kyle just fine... but Lyle strikes me as a smarmy middle-aged man. I'm showing my age, but when I hear Lyle I think of Lyle Waggoner... a smarmy, middle-aged man.

[terrordactyl]

for some reason it reminds me of that slimey booger eating kid

[4Blessings]

I like it. It was the name of my great-grandfather.

[PotreroHill]

I love it It reminds me of a book that I read when I was little: Lyle, Lyle Crocodile

I'm not crazy about it, but I'm also not American. I think that makes a difference.
