Comments for KEIGHLEY:
Keighley is a fanciful spelling variant on the name Keeley or Keely. I did a lot of research on this old Gaelic name and it has existed for a long time. I didn't make it up, nor is it pronounced Kaylee (or Keithley). My daughter loves her name!-- cmclaura 4/7/2005
Keighley is pronounced Keeley, not Kaylee.-- cmclaura 4/7/2005
I knew a woman when I lived in England with this name. The sound and spelling of it is so beautiful. I kept it filed away in my head for 8 years, until I had my daughter and bestowed the name upon her. Very few people can ever pronounce it correctly, and she'll very likely never find a badge in a shop with her name already on it, but nearly everyone who hears (and especially sees) the name is dramatically impressed by it. Vive le Keighley!-- cmclaura 4/7/2005
There is a town in Yorkshire called Keighley, pronounced "KEETH-lee". As a name though, it's generally "KEE-lee" or less often, "KAY-lee".-- Elly747 4/11/2005
This looks like a terrifying variant of Kayley, to me. As previous comments suggest, it seems it would be a nightmare to get anyone to pronounce it favorably.-- Anonymous User 9/18/2006
I love the name Keeley, but this spelling of it looks very tacky. It's a little long, and there are endless pronunciation possibilities. Keighley looks like it was made up by somebody who tried to be original, which I respect, but it looks like they tried too hard. Definitely not my favorite name.-- Lena Is A Secret 11/25/2006
Keighley is a town in West Yorkshire, England.-- toothfairy 2/10/2008
Pronounced KEITH-lee, KEITH-lay.-- toothfairy 2/10/2008
What a horrible variant of the "name" Kaylee. It's so stupid and babyish! Most of our lives are spent in adulthood, not childhood, and a name like Keighley is not going to look good on a grown woman.-- bananarama 4/23/2010
Keighley (pronounced KEE-lee) is a habitational name from a place so named in West Yorkshire, recorded in Domesday Book as _Chichelai_, apparently named with an Old English personal name _Cyhha_ + Old English _leah_ ‘woodland clearing’. [noted -ed]-- Kate 6/14/2011
