What do you all think about the Paisley for a girl? Please be honest. I love the name, but I don't want her to hate it.
Personally, I don't like it. I think it's too similar to parsly and you know little kids are fgoing to make that connection too. Also in my opinion paisley print is rather unattractive. I wouldn't want to name my child afer a type of fabric print even if it wasn't an unattractive one.
Honestly, not trying to be rude, just my first impressions about the name.
I love it!
I've heard of another little girl with that name.
I have a common name, always hated being plain!
my first impression is that it was cute, but a little odd. I think no matter what you name your kiddo, they always grow into it and the name typically always fits. I can't really think of anything too bad that kids could make out of it either, so that is always a plus.
Alternatives in keeping the name would be to give her two middle names (like I and my daughter both have) and she could always choose to use one of those instead. Options are good :)
She could always end up with a nickname out of it too...Pace. Pacie. Lee.
Way to reach out for the uncommon....I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
Well the first thing that popped into my head was the country singer Brad Paisley..lol..but I think it's cute, I tried to give each of my kids different names that you don't hear too often. I say just go with what you like :)
I personally think it's a name that she could very well grow up to hate. Sorry!
Personaly I like it because it is different.
I really like it. I am all for an original name. Mine is Tashina, and yes as a child I hated it because I always had to correct people when they said it. But then when I grew up I loved it because nobody else has this name.... at least that I have met. I think if you love that name.... then name away. As far as other children making fun of your daughters name.... it can happen with any name. My nick name is Toddy, and I was always potty toddy... UUGGHH. But we grow up and realize that it isn't a big deal. IF you really like the name, then it will work for you, no matter what anybody else thinks. who knows she may be as unique and wonderful as the name.
Good luck, and congrats.

honestly..it reminds me of pasty's you know the ones you wear when you can't wear a bra. Good luck!
Well my first thought was of the fabric design. But otherwise it's different and it you like it no I mean Love it then that's what you should pick. There is NO name that everyone will like. You should pick a name your in love with and that you can see yourself saying for the rest of your life. If Paisley is it then go for it!
I don't hate it, but I think it's kinda funny sounding.
I love that name for a girl. It's different and thats not a bad thing. My oldest name is DeziRae and when I picked that name I have never heard of any one having that name plus I spell her name with a z instead of a s. What Ever you want to name your kiddo go for it.

Go to a playground and yell out the name. See what the kids' responses are. I've heard of people doing this to see if the name would get made fun of or not. One of my friends was doing to name thier daughter Venus, until they yelled it out at a playground. The got "Venus has a (fill in the blank with a male body part). :) Hope this works for you.
It is a bit different. I love unique names. :)
I love it! I think it's extremely cute, of course, I like names that aren't heard that often. I don't want my children to be one of 5 with the same name in their class.
I love it myself. I heard a father at our public pool call his daughter that and I asked about it. Her name was Paisley Ann. From that day I always said that I would name my daughter that, but when it came down to it, I chickened out for the very reasons some of the other responders have said, and it was no one else's decision to make but my own. I remember thinking that Paige was a horrible name the first time I heard it (pages are in books or Gage, we know what gauges are), but now think how popular those names are. People with common names either love them or hate them for being too common. People with unique names are going to either love it or hate it for various reasons -- too hard to pronounce, made fun of, whatever. I feel like the person makes the name not the other way around. So, I say if it is what you want, go for it. You can always give her a more common middle name and if she really hates when she gets older, she can always go by her middle name instead.
I love it!!! IT's great - I love different names! But - the most important thing is that YOU love it! :)
I like it! Go for it!
Sounds very country to me.
My daughter has a very original name, and everybody loves it. I personally don't like the name Paisley because it reminds me of of the print, which I don't like. However, if you are the one that has to choose the name for your baby. There will always be people that don't like the name you pick, whatever it is. I think you should just go with your heart.
