The SPELLING INFLUENCE is possibly inspired by HAYLEY.

"descendent of Caoladhe"? Ó Caolaidhe means "descendant of Caolach"; "Caolaidhe" is genitive (possessive, that is). "Caolaidhe" would be pronounced "KAYL-ee-a" while "Caolach" would be pronounced "KAYL-akh". Plus, the "ao" is either pronounced "ay" or "ee", depending on the dialect; Scots Gaelic pronounces it as "eu" (as in French "neuve" or "coeur").
Another thing: parents, you have to calm down; every second parent naming their daughter "Kayley" and saying that they chose it for its uniqueness does not make this name unique. This name has really become tired, along with all of the names ending in "-yn", "-ee", "-ayden/-aiden/-aeden", and the like. I despise such trendy names; they're only fashionable for so long and trends die out, leaving many people stranded with ridiculous names that don't age gracefully. If you want your child's name to be unique (and preferably one that ages well), then don't follow trends.

Kaleigh is a very Irish name, it is the name of a festival in Ireland and is a fun and unique name though people seem to have a hard time pronouncing it. It is associated with magic and mischief; fun and love. My favorite spelling of the name is Kaleigh, but if you want it spelled the very Irish way it is Caleigh.

In 1987 when we found out my wife was carrying a girl, we wanted to come up with a unique name. We came up with 'Kayley', which combines her (wife's) middle name of Kay with the last three letters of my middle name Bradley. At this time there weren't any references to this name in any of the books of names.
