WDYT of Paisley for a girl?

Have you ever found yourself liking an unusual name just because you saw a really cute child with that name? I saw an adorable baby girl named Paisley and now really like it. According to my baby name book, the name generated from a town in Scottland where the more commonly known pattern comes from. I'm even part Scottish on my Moms side, not that it really matters. Is Paisley too weird a name or is it one that could be cute? WDYT??

I LOVE IT!!! I almost used it for 1 of my twins-they were either gonna be Berkeley & Paisley or Miller & Quinn, but they were named Millicent & Elizabeth.

I love it. I find it very classy and feminine- extremely pretty.
I don't know I would be brave enough to use it though.

Paisley is sort of a hippy name to me, like Harmony or Meadow.

I don't think it's a weird name. But I don't care for it because it seems cutesy to me. That's just me, though - I know that lots of people really like this name, and I see it on the name boards pretty frequently.

There is a little girl on the cover of Parents magazine whose name is Paisley May. She's really cute!

I love it and think it's super cute and commend you for considering a name this isn't overused or one that sounds like it was decided on in 5 minutes.

I really like the name Paisley and I have heard the same orgin of the name. I find myself liking (or not liking) a name because of the child/person who has the name.
If you really like the name, I would use it!

I know one little girl named Paisley, about 3 years old

I think it's cute.

The pattern is such a strong association with me that it makes it sound slightly ridiculous. But then again, I'm vaguely considering the name Myrtle, so who am I to talk?
