Me and my girl want to name our baby Kyle if its a boy ("IF ITZ A BOY LOL") but she already has a boy child name Kyle? Should we call the old Kyle "A" and the new Kyle "B"? It is most obvious thing to do?

put yourselves in your future childs shoes. if you were born second child in a family, and you were given the same exact name as your prior sibling, would you have been pleased or accepting of it? i doubt it. one thing i know, as a teacher, that siblings already have a sense of an ongoing and continual sense of competiveness brewing between them on a naturally human level as they grow and interact. especially, those of the same gender, and even more when they follow each other in birth order. impressing upon your children the idea of acceptance of differences and individuality, alternate weaknesses and strengths being on different scales and categories, can only develop fulfilled, confident, compassionate, considerate,and overall compatable humanitarians in the long run. don't give any extra assistance to the problem of a younger child always having to be casted in the shadow of his older sibling. especially an older brother. tetesterone can be futile, caustic, and combustible!!!!

I think you should think of another name...having two Kyles is just ridiculous! There are a lot of great boys' names out there...buy a baby name book. Unless there is a great significance behind naming him Kyle, name him something else. Or, if the other kid is young enough, go get his name changed. Or better still, name the new baby Kyle and you and your girl can change YOUR names to Kyle too! You can ALL be Kyles.

i think the child would be extremely hurt and confused later on. It would also be hurtful to the first Kyle "like what I wasn't good enough they needed to replace me with another?" Kids go through this enough without having brothers with the same name. Honestly what is usually done is junior. Kyle and Kyle Junior but depending on how far apart they are that can be odd too. I just wouldn't do it you are setting bothe kids up for mental issues and confusion not to mention when you try to call them and they both answer. Do not use A and B or 1 and 2 kids really really hate that. You can always call them by their middle names later on as well ifyou really insist on naming them the same but personally if I had the same name as my sister I would have it changed.

Choose another name. It'll just cause confusion & force people to call them Big Kyle, Little Kyle, even when they're older, or other stupid seperation names. My son had this problem in daycare. There were 2 Matthews. Instead of calling one Matt or Matthew, my son got labled Little Matt & the other one Big Matt. Now both boys are out of that daycare but still interact with some kids from the daycare at school & in our area. I've had words with these kids, in a nice way, to please stop calling my son Little Matt. There are a lot of other great Boy/Girl names out there. Try non gender specific names like Riley, Hunter, Tyler, Tracey, Kelley, etc. You can spell them a lot of different ways too.

Why name them both Kyle. There are many nice names out there. Get your self a name book or better yet have of your name have her name mix and match names have fun with something other than Kyle.
You already have a Kyle

For the new baby, you could always put Kyle as the middle name and choose a different first name, either way you would be getting the name you want in there.

Do not name them the same. This happened to my cousins (my uncle had a child from a previous relationship that evidently no one knew about until later). Anyway, eventually everyone found out about each other, and both boys were a bit hurt at having the same name, but especially the oldest one. It really hurt him to think that his father not only abandoned him, but cared so little that he named his next son the same name, as if he were a replacement. Avoid the emotional trauma. If you really like the name Kyle, use it as a middle name.

Why would you want to have 2 kids with the same name? dint you think the first kyle might not like the baby having the same name (i know i wouldn't like it), and yes not to mention the confusion not only with which one your referring to but the confusion as to identification. Hopefully the middle name will be different. Calling them kyle "A" & "B" is stupid. I suggest you think of a diffrent name or at least spell it diffrently.

Good Lord..why have 2 kids with the same name. If its a girl name it Kylee..pronounced Ky-lee. If its a boy name it Lyle,,,Tyle...Nyle....or Beaureguard...just don't name the poor thing Kyle. On top of the fact the older Kyle will think your trying to replace him. Start saving for therapy now if you name him Kyle.

Why would you want two kids named Kyle?? That's crazy. There are a million names out there but you want to name him after his brother? Hmmmm... I'd seriously consider thinking of another name. Maybe use Kyle as his middle name instead. good luck with that.

Go ahead, and name the baby Kyle, but call him by his middle name, until he gets older, or something like that?
Good Luck, Kyle's Parents!
