Keeley is awful; it sounds super whiny and nasal. I think I'd actually take Kinsley over it. Kaylee is better than both.

A flimsy, cutesy name that rhymes with kiwi.

I think it's awful. Male or female, it just screams 'Eighteen months old or younger'.

Keeley is ok, for a girl only. Kayley is nice too, prefer Keeley

Ugh, I think it's awful. It sounds infantile and grating. I don't find it chic at all...

Feels vey 2000s to me and I don't like it.
Keely looks better. Keeley looks like the parents wanted a more "trendy" spelling.

It makes me think of the 90’s or 00’s. To me it sounds the opposite of chic, but kind of airheaded and bubbly.

I don't think kee and ley sound good together, but I like names like Keaton, Ciaran, Harley and Riley. Keeley looks better than Keely. I haven't heard the name until recently and the character I knew of was a teen, so it sounds chronologically ambiguous. I prefer Kaylie or Kiley (said like Kylie).

I think it's okay, neither terrible nor inspiring. The only association that I have with it was with a male classmate all throughout elementary and highschool named this, spelled Keely if memory serve but I know he usually went by Kiwi by his friends because of the similar sounds.
Spelling wise I probably prefer Keeley. It has too many E's, but it does look more balanced.
The name mainly makes me think of the 2000's-2010's era because that's when I went to school with this kid.

It's interesting, especially because it has gone unnoticed for me. It doesn't strike me as a bad name.

I prefer Keeley because it seems more complete, but both spellings remind me of the 90s, pretty juvenile. However, I prefer Kaylee over both of them because I'm familiar with it.
