Help[Opinions] THIS IS MY NAME!!!:)
in reply to a message by Aly055
Actually, mine is spelled Keeley, but you get the picture. I had a lot of trouble growing up because where I am from (THe cornfields of Illinois) there are no other Keeleys. I find it funny that people think it is trendy for that reason. When I was younger (I am 22, so I am from the Jessica/Jennifer/Ashley/Brittany generation) no one had heard of my name. I got called Kelly all the time. But now that every other little girl is named Kayley or Kylie, I get those all the time. So, in my opinion, I don't really think of my name as in the same tradition as those. And I never knew Keeley was a surname until a couple years ago.
So, I guess what I am trying to say is that I like my name, but it gets misspelled all the time (Keely, Keilee, Keyleigh, Keeli, etc), people mess it up all the time (Kelly, Kylie, Kayley, Kelsey, Carrie, Julie), and I get stupid nicknames (Kitty, Kiki, Kiwi).
But overall I like it alright. It isn't something I would use for a daughter (I detest the letter K...the trendiest of all letters) but I like that it is my name. I think that because I have an uncommon name I like to research names and want to find something unusual for my children.
HTH!!!:)

Yeah I wondered that too! I mostly get it when I answer the phone at work and say my name quickly, so I think people just hear the lee sound at the end and assume Julie. I actually get it a lot! I know a couple girls named Dana and they both complain that people get their names wrong too! I think people just don't pay attention!

I know what you mean. I'll tell people my name is Holly and they'll think I said Collie, which may be a name (I don't know) but don't most people think of it as a breed of dog? Or do I just look like the child of Lassie devotees? People just don't listen carefully.
