I like it. Always have, probably always will. I wouldn't use it, but I think it's a happy and friendly name.
Yeah, it is made up, but it's very clearly
Kay plus
Lee (or
Leigh) so it does have a meaning. Same as
Annemarie and Marysue have meanings.
I prefer
Kayleigh I think because in
Europe this is the standard spelling, after the song. But
Kaylee is perfectly fine.
In the UK I find it less problematic to use because
Kayleigh is way more common than the other spellings whereas even though in the US
Kaylee is the most common I feel parents went for all kinds of spellings a lot more.
It is dated. Very dated. But fine.
Edited: I know a few
Kayleigh from the UK, all born between the late 80s and mid 90s. I know some
Kaylee in the US as well as a
Kaley and a
Kaleigh.
