Comments for KAYLEE:

The name Kaylee, or any variations of Kaylee, means celebration. The name is from the Gaelic Ceilidh which is a social gathering.

It seems very flimsy as a name. When I meet a little Kaylee, I think that her parents might as well have named her "Cutie" or "Jellybean". I don't think it's a name that will be taken seriously on an adult.

-- amabel  6/9/2005

Haha... Jellybean.

I gave my daughter this name not realizing the popularity of it that year, lol. But I must say it fits her perfectly! I still adore her name, and when she is older, if she doesn't get taken seriously, she can always shorten it to Kay, lol.

-- Alene82  9/28/2005

This is my name so of course I like it! I have never thought of it as a "flimsy" name and everyone I've ever met has said that they like the name and ask how my parents came up with it. I am in my late 20's so there aren't too many people my age with the name. Oh, and by the way I have never not been taken seriously because my name is Kaylee!

Kaylee is the name of one of the 9 main characters in the TV show - "Firefly".

Kaylee is pretty but very young sounding, not an easy name to grow up with.

-- Anonymous User  4/29/2006

I agree, this name is far too cutesy/young sounding for an adult woman. Not a good name to grow up with in my opinion.

-- Anonymous User  7/16/2006

I really dislike this name. Probably one of my least favorites.

-- nelirosala  7/29/2006

Can also be spelt Caley - this is the only spelling I have seen used in NZ.

-- Anonymous User  9/23/2006

I never understood the popularity of this name.

-- Jasmine  3/5/2007

Well, I suppose I'm partial because it is my name, but I grew up in an area where no one else had it, and I've never thought of it as cutesy or anything of that nature. I guess it's all in what you do with it; I suppose people will make associations with the name based upon people they know with the name, and hopefully I do it justice. ;) Personally, I think it's a pretty and still rather unique name.

-- kayley  4/10/2007

There are a billion variations of this name, so if this seems too cutesy for you, pick a variation.

-- bibi66  6/2/2007

Kaylee is an okay name but it's beter spelled like Kaeleigh because it is more unique and prettier.

-- 80226_hottie  8/11/2007

Kaylee - Awful. Kaeleigh - Horrible.

Why won't this "name" die?

-- arrowhead909  8/25/2007

Name of the main character in the cartoon movie 'Quest for Camelot: The Magic Sword'.

-- ElizainEngland  10/30/2007

It makes me think of an Irish ceilí. Which is a dance.

-- Clodagh  1/9/2008

I don't see what all this talk about Kaylee being hard to grow up with is. I wouldn't think twice if I met an adult Kaylee. It doesn't seem that different to me from any other names with "ee" sounds at the end. Jenny, Marilee, Debbie, Allie, Kelly. All these names are, in my opinion, on par with Kaylee. Kaylee just doesn't get any respect because it's fairly new.

-- FuschiaNicole  2/17/2008

A blonde, blue-eyed, ditzy cheerleader comes into my mind when I hear this name.

-- jasmineenimsaj  2/23/2008

It's not so much that I don't like this name, I just don't like the spelling at all. I prefer Kayleigh, Kailey, or Ceilidh. This spelling just sort of annoys me a bit. No offense to anyone named Kaylee, it's just my personal opinion. As I said, I much prefer the other spellings.

-- Anonymous User  3/1/2008

I like this name, but not spelled this way. I generally don't like names with an ee (Rylee, Kylee, Maree) on the end other than Lee in it's original form. The issue with this name is there are so many variants, there is not one that you would automatically assume that it is spelled a particular way. For example, Courtenay is a variant of Courtney, but unless someone tells you, you most likely would assume there name is Courtney. I like the spelling Kaylie, Kailey, and Kayleigh better. Oddly, even though this is the most popular spelling I've never heard of anyone with this name, only Kayleigh.

-- bunnygirl  3/8/2008

Sounds like a very forgettable name. It's dull, without being classic, and will not last through their lives as a pretty name. So much better things to name your kids than Kaylee.

-- jolidanstitre  4/30/2008

I like my name, and if people don't take me seriously, it's because of how I act, not my name. There's a lot of girls in my town with my name and spelled the same, Kaylee. I live in a very small town, so it is pretty amazing how people can say 'no one's going to take them seriously' when that would be saying "everyone in the United States/other country named [insert name here] is going to fail because people won't take them seriously because they aren't named right". I think it's a little judgemental.

By the way, I happen to think my name IS unique, because my parents put their middle names together, they didn't get it out of book, like the rest of my siblings. :) Don't judge people on their names.

-- kaylee-5  6/5/2008

I can't see an 80 year old with this name.

-- snickerdoodle  7/26/2008

I think it is a pretty name. I don't think it is a flimsy name. I love it. I like cutesy names. I wouldn't mind naming my daughter this.

-- lol_cool  8/9/2008

I'm somewhat forced to be partial with Kaylee, as I have lived with it for eleven years, since birth. But it's no where near my favorite. I would have much rather been 'Allison', or possibly even 'Samantha' or 'Leah', but Kaylee is no what near like me.

I see that name as a little girly-girl who always wears pink dresses and big pink bows. That is not me at all. Kaylee has almost no nicknames but Kay and (and in my case, because of my favorite video game) K. K Slider. Sorry. Had to rant.

-- KohakuRiver  8/14/2008

I don't like these trendy child names. I mean what happens when your 50 and your name is Cayley? Seriously it's a little kid name. There's so many ways to spell this name it's annoying.

Kaylee
Kailee
Kayley
Kayleigh
Kaylie
Caylee
Cayley
Cayleigh
etc.

-- becca_marciano  1/27/2009

One of the main characters in the Firefly series/Serenity movie is Kaylee Frye.

-- CanadianChibi  2/12/2009

If you're going to name your child this, you may as well name them something like "Tootsie" or "Coochie".

-- ICEyun  2/24/2009

Arabic Kalilah (Kay lee lah).

-- Singz4J  4/7/2009

This name makes me think of céilí, which is an Irish dance (though the word really means "partners" in Irish). I like céilí, but not enough to name my daughter after them. But outside of Ireland, this could work fine as a girl's name, as it does sound cute and feminine. I just can't get over the spelling. No offence intended, but Kaylee looks very Americanised. Please spell it Céilí, as it is really an Irish word. (Céilí is pronounced exactly the same as Kaylee.) It's not a name that I would use (as it's a dance), but Céilí does sound very sweet and upbeat.

-- Ailis  7/8/2009

I really love this name for a girl or woman. (: When the female is younger it sounds very cute. And when they are older it can sound mature too, like Kelly or Carly. They could always go by Kay if they felt it wasn't "mature" enough. My name is Kaylee, but I spell it Cailee. I think it's very unique and I like it. (:

-- cailee  7/8/2009

Kaylee is very babyish. I don't think it looks good on anyone past the age of five. It also sounds rather ditzy.

-- bananarama  8/5/2009

Yuck. I hate these 'trendy, modern' kid names people are using, especially Kaylee, which looks strange on anyone past the age of 10.

-- -Julia-  8/20/2009

One of those childish Kay- names which are so popular now. Kaylee in particular seems to be the most childish-sounding of them. I can't picture it or take it seriously on anyone past the age of four. Do today's parents sincerely not care that what sounds cute on their baby or small child will sound babyish and unprofessional on a grown woman, or do they not think their child will age?

-- Anyechka  9/1/2009

It's tacky, meaningless (don't even bother saying 'it means ______ to me', because I could say 'spoofax' means 'beautiful gazelle' to me but would anybody else ever care or take me seriously?), and NOT unique -- no legitimate name is -- because a zillion people are named this.
