What do you think of the name Kelsey?

junebride-2b

My husband and I really like the name Kelsey, but are 2nd guessing our decision.  What are your honest opinions on the name Kelsey for a girl?  Any suggestions on a middle name?

I don't like it. I don't think it sounds very pretty at all. Every Kelsey I've ever met has either been a ditzy bimbo, or completely void of any personality whatsoever (and I've known like.... eight).

I honestly think it's a terrible name.  Sorry.  I don't think it sounds pretty, and I don't think it ages well.

Ya, ditzy sums it up well.  It just doesn't age well in my opinion (though there are certainly far worse out there), and you get a few points for spelling it correctly

I think it's cute!

eh, i think it's a cutesy name.  to be honest, we loved the name a few years ago when we found out we were pregnant.  we ended up having a boy though and now the name is really just NMS anymore.   i just don't know if it ages well.

I know two and they are smart and accomplished women.

However, the K sound is a bit harsh to me so it turns me off. I am more of a soft feminine name type of person.

I think it is really cute on a 2 year old with pigtails.  On an adult, not so much.

I like it, one of my closest friends has a 16yr old daughter named Kelsey that I have known since birth. And she's not ditzy or void of personality.

Seems dated to me.  Maybe because my favorite babysitter in the 80's was named Kelsey.

Makes me think of the philanderer Kelsey Grammer.

I like it. My cousin has a daughter with this name. I know another who is 19 and she's classy and very smart.

I have a cousin named Kelsey. Love her to pieces. BUT I remember when we were younger she asked me what I thought of her name and I told her that I thought it was a "little kid name" lol. So Even tho I dont mind the name, I dont think it ages well. But IF YOU like it, then use it!

IMO is a boy name

Too cutesy. It's no different to my ear than Kylie or Kaylee or Lexie or an of the other childish -ey names.

I like it. I have an employee in her early 20s named Kelsey, it fits her well. Now if you spell it Kelci or something, not so much.

I like it.

I should add however, that I like it so much we named our precious, spunky, adorable little dog Kelsey 5 years ago!

i really like it. i usually tend to like names that are from "that time" like kelsey, chelsey, kayla, danielle, etc.

Every Kelsey I've known has been very nice and pretty. I like the name. All of them are in their 20's and it seems to have aged just fine with them.
