I wouldn't trust that siteIt looks like just another "baby names" site, with made-up names, super-simplified meanings, and/or out-and-out false or misleading meanings ("keeper of the keys" for Kaeleigh, Katherine meaning "pure").The only other place I've seen Kaelem was on Star Trek: Voyager. And that name was spelled Caylem, and belonged to an alien. Wait, I may have hit upon something there... :-p

Agreed, and . . .Andrew, we have a perfectly good and well-researched database on this site, which links directly to the message board. It is therefore VERY bad manners to link to some random site, when the name required is already in the database and the information provided on the other site is so superficial compared to our entry.

Oh, my gosh-I've doubted the credibility of that site for a while. I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with that post. It was stupid of me. I apologize. I know that this site is very well-researched, and I shouldn't have used bad manners, and that was a mistake. Again, I'm very sorry for any offense I've caused anyone.
