I've never seen it before. How do you say it? KEE-ler? KAY-ler? It looks and sounds trendy and made-up, therefore I don't like it. But here are some middle name suggestions:Keiler Benjamin
Keiler Charles
Keiler Edmund
Keiler Edward
Keiler Emil
Keiler Emlyn
Keiler Fionn
Keiler Francis
Keiler Friedrich
Keiler George
Keiler Graham
Keiler Henry
Keiler Louis

Keiler Morgan
Keiler Owen
Keiler Patrick
Keiler William

Thank you very much Llewella :-)I like Keiler Edward, Keiler Graham and Keiler Patrick a lot,I say it KEE-ler, is the spelling misleading? Would Keeler be better? We both don't like that spelling much. Maybe Kealer?Trendy = trashy or is it still usable?

Keeler looks too much like Keebler. I think Kealer would be the best spelling if you want that pronunciation.Trendy doesn't necessarily mean trashy, it just means that it fits with current naming trends and will become very dated. I suppose that's not a terribly bad thing, just not what I'd go for. Plus some of the current trendy names are made-up, which I don't like because then they have no meaning or history.

The pronunciation Keeler makes me think of keeling over and dying. I don't particularly like it. I think the spelling Keiler and Keyler look like misspellings of Kyler. Honestly, I think that is how most people will see it. I get the feeling you will constantly be correcting people. The spelling Keeler makes me think of Keebler cookies. If you must use that pronunciation, then I would go with Kealer.
