I think this name is beautiful but am worried about it being too faddish. Not looking for advice on how to spell it, but what does everyone think?

I think this name sounds unattractive and dated. The ‘pres’ sound of the name just isn’t appealing and feels more masculine. I prefer [name\_u]Paisley[/name\_u] it just sounds more attractive and prettier.

I think it sounds masculine and I agree with @tori01 that I find it rather dated.

I have to echo the opinions of the previous posters. [name\_u]Presley[/name\_u] is extremely trendy, so if that isn’t what you’re going for, I would steer clear of it, with any spelling. It is a surname name, so perhaps you might like some other surname-y names for girls. Personally, I enjoy [name\_u]Hadley[/name\_u], [name\_u]Morgan[/name\_u], [name\_u]Sutton[/name\_u], [name\_u]Tatum[/name\_u], [name\_u]Sawyer[/name\_u], [name\_u]Parker[/name\_u], or [name\_u]Saylor[/name\_u].  
Here’s an [article](http://appellationmountain.net/surname-names-for-girls/) from Appellation Mountain with a bunch more.

I also agree you should consider [name\_u]Paisley[/name\_u], or even [name\_f]Posey[/name\_f]. They are very cute and feminine, and not quite as trendy as [name\_u]Presley[/name\_u]. Best of luck!

THX for the honest feedback. I appreciate it

[name\_u]Presley[/name\_u] is fine if spelled this way. It’s certainly trendy, and I would assume parents were [name\_m]Elvis[/name\_m] fans, otherwise it would be a tad weird.

I do have to agree that [name\_u]Presley[/name\_u] is rather trendy. The only thing that makes me like it is the connection to [name\_m]Elvis[/name\_m]. I do wonder if people will assume that’s who she’s named after though if that bothers you.

I do not care for this name personally and agree that it sounds masculine. I think of [name\_m]Elvis[/name\_m] and leather jackets.
