A flimsy, cutesy name that rhymes with kiwi.

I think it's awful. Male or female, it just screams 'Eighteen months old or younger'.

Keeley is ok, for a girl only. Kayley is nice too, prefer Keeley

Ugh, I think it's awful. It sounds infantile and grating. I don't find it chic at all...

Feels vey 2000s to me and I don't like it.
Keely looks better. Keeley looks like the parents wanted a more "trendy" spelling.

Keeley is awful; it sounds super whiny and nasal. I think I'd actually take Kinsley over it. Kaylee is better than both.

It makes me think of the 90’s or 00’s. To me it sounds the opposite of chic, but kind of airheaded and bubbly.

I don't think kee and ley sound good together, but I like names like Keaton, Ciaran, Harley and Riley. Keeley looks better than Keely. I haven't heard the name until recently and the character I knew of was a teen, so it sounds chronologically ambiguous. I prefer Kaylie or Kiley (said like Kylie).

I think it's okay, neither terrible nor inspiring. The only association that I have with it was with a male classmate all throughout elementary and highschool named this, spelled Keely if memory serve but I know he usually went by Kiwi by his friends because of the similar sounds.
Spelling wise I probably prefer Keeley. It has too many E's, but it does look more balanced.
The name mainly makes me think of the 2000's-2010's era because that's when I went to school with this kid.

It's interesting, especially because it has gone unnoticed for me. It doesn't strike me as a bad name.

I prefer Keeley because it seems more complete, but both spellings remind me of the 90s, pretty juvenile. However, I prefer Kaylee over both of them because I'm familiar with it.
