Baby Names

Kaylee or Kaley

We kind of like the name Kaylee but are unsure of how to spell it.  How would you spell it? 

Re: Kaylee or Kaley

  • I think Kaylee makes more sense...

  • I have a Kaylee in one of my classes right now, and I have to say it doesn't age well. She is a college student/young woman and it seems like a cute toddler/baby name.
  • I think the 'ee' ending looks really young and cutesy. I prefer Kailey or Kayley.

  • I like Kehly actually, I've known a few people with it spelled that way. Kaylee is my second choice.

    I would pronounce Kehly as Kelly, not Kaylee but maybe I need a better brush up on my phonics.

    So would I. Keh doesn't say "Kay" to me.

    This.  Sounds juvenille.  And the extra ee's are atrocious, sorry just MHO.  I do know a 11 yr old named Kaleigh, and that is decent as the 'leigh' makes it a bit more feminine and not made up.  Just not a huge fan in general I guess...

  • I prefer it spelled Kaylee, and I don't think it's a name that won't grow with her like some others have suggested.  The first "person" I heard with the name was the character from Firefly/Serenity, and she was a strong feminine woman.  I guess because of that I associate the name with adults.  I think most people nowadays associate it with babies/toddlers because it is becoming more popular, so there are more babies/toddlers now with that name.  In 20 years no one will think twice about it.

  • Kaylee. Kaley makes me pronounce it like Cali.

    I know a few Kaylee's all spelled differently. Here is how they spell it...
    Kaylee
    Kaylei
    Kailee
    And then there is one more and i think she spells it Kailey
  • I think the best spelling is Kayley, but I agree with PPs that it doesn't age well, and the only Kayley I know is a dog.

    This is always such a funny argument to me.  I have a sister named Kaylie.  She is 30 years old and has a very grown up job at a successful law firm.   I don't think she ever didn't get a job she applied for growing up.  So no name discrimination came into play.

    I'm not saying name discrimination will come into play above, I think most people are hired for their experience/intelligence, not their names. What I am saying is that it still doesn't sound like an adult name, it sounds cute-sy and more like a nickname. 

  • Kaylee. I think that Kaley would be mispronounced as "Cal-ee" a lot.

    So when you hear Haley does that give you the same type of "cute-sy" sense??

  • I would go Kaylee too!

  • I like Kaylee as a nn for Michaela.

    It does remind me of Firefly, but even though I love the character and I love Jewel Staite... it does seem childish to me.

    My name is Cayleigh, and it has aged just fine, believe it or not. I'm 25 and successful, and I don't think I've ever been thought of as "baby-ish" or "cutesy"because of my name.

    That being said, I am not a fan of the -ee ending, and I find the K too harsh. I may be biased, but I like it spelled Cayleigh.

  • My name is spelled Kaley I like I think it is pretty, but I always wish it was,spelled kayleigh :)
