Was first introduced to Kingsley by Kingsley Shacklebolt in Harry Potter. It's one of the few surname names I actually like. Kingsley is stylish, vintage+classic-sounding and handsome, but there's also a swashbuckling vibe to it that reminds me of the dapperness of the spies from the Kingsman: The Secret Service movie- and not just because the title has the word "King" in it (if you've seen the movie, you'll know what I mean)!

I've never been attracted to most of the popular boy names nowadays. 'Timeless classics' such as James and David are boring, while 'Modern' choices like Bentley, Jagger and Paxton make me flinch. It's names like Kingsley - so elegant and stylish and sophisticated and charming, which appeal to me the most.
