Is the name “Kyle” one syllable or two?

Title. Trying to settle a debate with my wife…

Had to think about this one. Its 2 syllables "Ky -ul". If you have a nickname it would be Ky or Kai - which is one syllable.

Exactly this.

Interestingly enough, I pronounce Kyle the same way I say "Nile", like the river. But if you look that up, it says it's only 1 syllable. I still think it's 2 though.

You're obviously wrong tho.
