"ick, my cuzin had a dawg named bailey, so i could never name my kid that" Apr. 5, 2007:
"This is my god-daughters name, and while I adore her, I think its a TERRIBLE choice for a child's name. It reminds me of the name of a pub or Bailey's Irish Cream. I.M.H.O. A kid's name should'nt be associated with boozing yourself into unconciousness." Mar. 24, 2007:
"I know a few little girls named Bailey. Bailey is a drink or a boy's name. There is nothing feminine about it." Jul. 31, 2006:

"My name is Bailey and I like it. I have meet many, many people with my same name. Most of the time they spell it Baylee I think three of them sleek it that way. Only one of them have spelled it Bailey. And that one was a boy. I am a girl and I think that it can be a girl or a boy name.

Bailey :) Isn't that interesting?!" Dec. 27, 2009:
"Hi there, my name's Bailey. Obviously. :-) I used to like my name, but now a lot of girls especially are named Bailey, and I don't feel my name is that unique anymore. And, when someone says "Hey, Bailey!" and then another person says, "Did you just call her Baby?" it REALLY gets on my nerves. But, I think it's funny when my friend says "Hey, Bailes!" Get it? Hay bales? HA HA.
Then again, my mom likes to joke that she named me after Bailey's Irish Cream.... great." Nov. 29, 2009:

"when I got pregnant my husband and I decided to keep the sex of the baby a mystery, so I got to pick the name if it was a boy and my husband if it was a girl. He waited till I was very close to my due date but finally settled on Bailey. When the doctor delivered her and I saw it was a girl, my husband immediately said "Hi Bailey!" I feel that her name will carry a special meaning forever because her Daddy gave it to her !" Jul. 23, 2008: | |
