It’s okay, but dated. Side note, am I the only one who thinks it’s strange Chelsea was consistently more popular named Kelsey? I know way more people named Kelsey and it sounds more “legitimate” while Chelsea sounds like a knock off.

I have the opposite impression - Kelsey seems more like a knockoff of Chelsea, to me. Like Chelsea was too place-y so they went with the more familiarly Kelly-like, and therefore safer, Kelsey.
I think Chelsea seems more dated now, though.

If spelling variations of Kelsey are combined, I'd guess it was more popular than Chelsea.And I think Chelsea appealed as a famous kid's name and as a placename, while Kelsey has more of a surname-as-first-name appeal.
