Caleigh

This is friend's top girl name.

WDYT?

It's pronounced like Kaylee. 

I dislike, but it's not my kid to name so I don't say anything negative to her.

    That name was on the top of my list a few years ago, spelling and all. I still like it, just not as much.

    Meh, too trendy for me. And it also reminds me of that horrible case in Florida.

    The name itself seems trendy to me, add in the unique spelling and it's totally nms.

    If she wants it to be pronounced as if it starts with a K then she should spell it that way. 

    Caleigh is a lovely name, but it is pronounced like Callie.

    I'd pronounce that spelling as Callie.

    I strongly dislike Kaylee.

    I know a 20something year old named Caleigh and it is pronounced like Kaylee, so maybe not a trend. And I like it :)

    I don't care for it--the uncertainty of proper pronunciation and the trendy spelling are two big negatives, IMO.

    I like that name, just not that spelling.  I know someone who named her daughter this and also butchered the spelling.  It's sad that this is a name that seems to draw unique (and incorrect) spellings!
