What do you think of Keely or Keeley for a girl?

---

Love it.

---

Do you think it's too trendy sounding?

---

Heck no!

---

Is it actually popular (have you ever met one?)

---

Nope.

---

Would you spell it Keely or Keeley and why?

---

Keeley. Just seems better to me.

---

I also like Kayleigh. Do you prefer Keely/Keeley or Kayleigh/Kaylee/Kayley etc etc?

---

Kailey.

---

Do you like Keelin? Kayley, Keely or Keelin? (any spelling)?

---

Keelin= barf.
Kayley= yes.
Keely= prefer Keeley.
Keelin= barf again.

It's okay, I wouldn't use because it seems very similar to all those popular names like Kaylee, Kayla, Kaylyn ect

I taught one once; nice child who deserved better (her ln was Bloomer). It gives a very fluffy and frivolous impression: one would be startled by a lawyer, doctor or accountant called Keel(e)y. I think it looks better as Keeley, but I don't like it. I don't mind Kayleigh as much, though I wouldn't use it. I've never encountered a Keelin, and it really does not appeal.

Sorry but I think Keely/Keeley is horrible. I have met a little girl with the name before and I thought then what I think now: it doesn't sound right, there's just something wrong or incomplete about it. I don't think of it as trendy.
Obviously, I don't like it but I'd go with Keeley over Keely.
I much prefer Kayleigh, this was in my top 10 for a while. I like the spelling Kailey the best but I don't mind the other spellings either (there's something about Kayleigh that I like too).
I think Keelin is better than Keely/Keeley probably because "Kee" sounds like key in Keelin but Keely/Keeley is more like Keel and then Ley, if that makes any sense.
And to the last question- Kailey, of course.

I know one Keely (not sure of the spelling) she was my neighbours dog :)

---

Its ok imo but i wouldnt use it... Its nms...

---

I prefer the Keely spelling

Keely/Keeley does sound very trendy, but it's also really cute. I like it. I think I'd spell it Keely because Keeley has too many Es.

---

Do not use Kayleigh or any alternate spelling. It is way trendier than Keely and is sickeningly cute.

---

Keelin, even though it's a feminine name, would sound better on a boy IMO. I don't like most girl names than end with an N.

I don't mind it actually. I prefer the Keely spelling, as I just think it looks nicer. It does sound a little trendy, because of Kayla and Kaylee, like you mentioned. It's not enough to worry about though imo. Never met a Keely either I don't think. I do actually prefer Kaylee/Kayley to Keely. Keelin is horrible imo.

I don't like Keely or any trendy K- name like Kayla, Kaylee, Kira, Keeva, Kelsey, Karleigh, Khloe, Kendra ect. There are so many other great names out there with more substance than trendy K- names or any other trendy name at that.

---

But if I had to use it I would spell it Keely. Keeley is too heavy on the e.

---

Yes, it's very popular. I've met quite a few.

---

Keeley is one of my favorite girl names-just pretty and spunky! My favorite spelling is Keeley but I think Keely is cute too. I also like the name Kayleigh though not that spelling at all, sorry. Just my opinion. My favorite spellings are: Kaley, Kailey, Kaelie. Both names are very pretty but Keeley is my favorite from both.

---

I want to like Keelin but can't really get into it.

I really like both Keely and Keelin, although I prefer Keely. I think Keely is spunky without being too "little girl." I feel like it could get trendy, but it wouldn't stop me from using it.

Keely is okay (I prefer that spelling). The sound isn't bad but it does make me think of "keel over." It's okay. Actually, I don't think it ever reached the level of trendiness that Kayla or Kayley did. I wouldn't be surprised if it took off in popularity now.

---

Don't care for Kayleigh (sounds so sticky sweet to me) or Keelin.

I actually know a Keely, but her name is spelled Kealie. I really don't like the name; it's far too trendy to me.
