Help[Opinions] No, I don't really like it either
in reply to a message by ~EvaCollette~
It's very, very trendy and sounds quite childish to me. Although I do have to say that I prefer Keely (pr. KEEL-ee) over Kelly for a girl.
Keelin's another matter. It's one of several Anglicisations of Caoilfhionn, and is the spelling closest to Caoilfhionn's pronunciation. So I think Keelin's alright for someone else, though it's not for me.
EDIT: I just looked at BtN's entry for Keely, which says it's a variant of Kayley. I prefer it as an alternate form of Kelly, or else think of it as a purely non-etymologically based modern made-up name.
Kayley's an Anglicisation of Caollaidhe, and spelled just Kayley it's trendy but alright imo. Kaylee / Kayleigh is just Kay + Lee / Leigh to me, and is unrelated to Kayley; ditto with Kayleah (KAY-lee-ah to me), only with Kay + Leah. Caileigh, Caleigh, Kaelee, ad nauseum are just bad misspellings of Kayley to me, and I can't think of anything good to say about them.
