Sorry, but I find it hideous

---

As a name and as a 'pattern'. Just not a fan.

Paisley is a rough area of Glasgow, and I'm from Glasgow (guess that deals with #1). I'd hazard to say that not one person in Scotland has the first name Paisley (so that answers #2...) and I struggle to picture it, really. But my reasons are geographical and shouldn't worry you, really.

---

Based on sound alone, I can see how it works elsewhere. It's like Kelsey, Hayley, Ashley, and more recently Presley and Brinley ... It's fine, in that it's useable. I really don't like it :/

Paisley Alexandra
Paisley Imogen

I'm not a big fan of Paisley. I do know a Paisley. Paisley Rose.

With a sister named Plaid? *g* Kidding.

1. It's not my style, and not the sort of name I'd have as a GP (although I do like Sterling. Go figure). I think it sounds a little unsubstantial as a name. It might work better as a middle name if it was a family name of some sort.

---

2. None at all.

---

3. Combos:
Paisley Elaine
Paisley Jane
Paisley Anne
Paisley Gabrielle

---

4. August Rose suggested Paisley and Sterling, which I think does sound nice together.

1. Do you like the name Paisley? Do you have any comments or connotations concerning the name, good or bad?

---

When I quickly skimmed over the post the first time, I thought we were talking abouta boy's name. So that right there is a problem.

---

Also, it just makes me think of Ian Paisley.

---

2. How many people named Paisley have you known? (I myself have only encountered one.)

---

I have never met anyone called Paisley?

---

3. What are some combos you can come up with for Paisley?

---

Paisley Anne springs to mind. Gotta have something classic and feminine to balance it!

---

4. Given that I'm a bit of a sibset perfectionist (I'm sorry, I can't help it), what are some sibsets you can come up with that include Paisley? Feel free to includes mns if you want.

---

I can only see it with other unisex/surnamey names, so Paisley, Morgan, Taylor, Jordan, etc

1. Do you like the name Paisley? Do you have any comments or connotations concerning the name, good or bad? I do like it but for a boy. It's VERY popular for a girl.

2. How many people named Paisley have you known? (I myself have only encountered one.) None

I LOVE the name!! I like it for a boy or a girl. But, I'm starting to lean more torward a girl though. I like it spelled better, Paizley or Paizlie. But the spelling is whatever your personal taste may be.

1. I don't really like the name Paisley. I think of the pattern:

It's a cute pattern, but not really a name.

---

2. None

---

3.
Paisley Anne
Paisley Eleanor
Paisley Grace
Paisley Isadora
Paisley Katherine
Paisley Marie
Paisley Olivia
Paisley Elizabeth
Paisley Alice

---

I don't know...

---

4.

---

Paisley, Plaid, Argyle, Gingham, Tartan, and Zig - Zag (Okay, sorry. I'm not funny :P)

---

Lacy, Adeline, Odessa / Odyssey, Sonnet, Ginger, Lyric, and Sunday

---

Maverick, Armani, Everest, Sincere, and Zephyr.

1. Do you like the name Paisley? Do you have any comments or connotations concerning the name, good or bad?

---

I do not like the name Paisley, espicalling on a girl. It's either a pattern, or a Scottish placename/surname. Paisley for a girl is also very trendy sounding. It's just not a name for a little girl, IMO.

---

2. How many people named Paisley have you known? (I myself have only encountered one.)

---

I've met a few people with the surname Paisley.

As in pattern? Or the Scottish town? I really don't see it at all as a name . It has a nice sound to it, I'll give you that, but I really don't think that I could ever see it on a person. I certainly have never encountered somebody called Paisley.

---

Hows about:

---

Paisley Claire
Paisley Eve
Paisley Evangeline
Paisley Catherine
Paisley Jane
Paisley Olivia
Paisley Hollis

---

And for sibsets:

---

Paisley and Leander
Paisley and Iona
Paisley and Jacinthe
Paisley and Marisol

1. Do you like the name Paisley? Do you have any comments or connotations concerning the name, good or bad?
I don't dislike it, but all I can think of is the pattern. which also brings to mind bandanas, and sweaty men.

---

2. How many people named Paisley have you known? (I myself have only encountered one.)
none, other than the ones I've seen on tv.

---

3. What are some combos you can come up with for Paisley?
Hm. Paisley Neisis. =]

4. Given that I'm a bit of a sibset perfectionist (I'm sorry, I can't help it), what are some sibsets you can come up with that include Paisley? Feel free to includes mns if you want.
Being that the only sibset I've heard of Paisley was Paisley and Sterling (male) I quite like that one, plus, I'm a fan of Sterling.

1. Do you like the name Paisley? Do you have any comments or connotations concerning the name, good or bad?
not my kind of name.
2. How many people named Paisley have you known? (I myself have only encountered one.)
none, but I was born in the late 80's.

Paisley Elizabeth/Elisabeth comes to mind

Emily, Patricia, Elisabeth

It's okay, I like it but it's not one my short list.
I don't know anyone with this name. I've heard it a few times though, on TV and such.
