Kyle v. Kylie: A Battle of Names

The name Kylie may be increasingly common. But if there’s one person who comes to mind when the name comes up, it’s Kylie Jenner of the Kardashian family. But it’s one thing to be a globally-recognized celebrity, and it’s another to attempt monopoly over a famous name.
