How about a relevant(in your life) K surname as the middle name?

From your list - Kayla, and only Kayla.

Otherwise I’d go with Kay as a middle name if you’re not planning to call her Kay as a nickname.

Emmy Kay (Emily, Emmeline, Emerson)
Rosie Kay
Annie Kay
Ginny (Virginia) Kay

Lots of names would work - don’t pick Mary though.

Was Kay the relatives full name?

McKay is pretty cool. Some variation of Katelyn (sp?) is great. Agree Katherine lends to the nickname Kay.

This doesn’t have the Kay sound!

It’s also pretentious in a bad way. I wouldn’t want to name my daughter after a literary character who has an affair any more than I’d name her Lolita.

Kayla is the only good choice.

Everything else is a little (or a lot) cringe.

Your child may not be happy with a name spelled in an unusual manner just so it can include Kay who she’ll never know.


+1
You gotta really love the name. And have it fit your dad who is not Kay.

Anna Kay, Emme Kay are nice double barrels.

Working Kay in reminds me of MIB names.

I know some people think K names are lower class, so help me out DCUM, how can I honor my Kay and stay classy!

Kaylee
Kaylynn/Kaylyn
Kayla
McKayla


I could do two names . . . like Anna Kay or Emma Kay or Mary Kay but they seem old fashioned.

Thoughts?




Honestly, if you are looking for classy, Katherine/Katharine/Kathryn is the only way to go. Kay is a great nickname.
