I actually laughed when I saw it. Ditto Sigrid, it's the swedish word for "boy". I have a hard time seeing it as a name :P

Kill or killeh. Unless I am failing massively at English phonetics, I can't see how Kille gives kye-lee... Or is this a name in another language?

nope english! i thought maybe some horrendous version of the name Kyle. That or the kill-eh ....

But but but, I learnt that soundwise, '-ill' =/= '-eyl'! This has got to be one of the worst namefails I've ever come across.And I've just noticed it's only one letter short of 'killer'. Such a lovely connotation, isn't it? (/sarcasm)

I was wondering the same thing. And then I started wondering if this is supposed to be a feminized form of Killian or something. And then I started wondering if Kille is supposed to be feminine at all...I'm totally confused now, more than usual lol

I pronounce it KILL-eh. It means "guy" or "boy" in Swedish.

Yes, it looks very much like Kill. I might say it "Keel" - like as in "keel-hauled".Yeah, I definitely would not have guessed "Kylie" without some help.
