Oh, I like this! It sounds cute and preppy to me. A sweet little ringlet-curled girl is what I picture.

Not trashy at all. It's a British surname that sounds lovely as a first name as well.

Fyi, It's not a made up name. It happens to be a family name. But, you are a for real asshole.

Growing up I knew one Kinsley and he was a boy a year older than me. Now grown up I only know of one more Kinsley, a two year old little girl Kinsley Grace.

I know so many with this name and I just don't like it. Sounds made up...even if it isn't.

This name became overrated so quick! In my opinion it does not age well. I can only picture a nine year old or under with this name.
