This is one of my favorite names for a boy or girl. I'm not a huge fan of nicknames, though. So if I named my daughter Elliot, she would be called Elliot for the most part instead of Elle or Elli. My name is Kathryn, and people have always tried to call me Kate or Katie. In my opinion, why name a child something if that's not what you are going to call him/her❤️

This is my daughter's name. She is one week old, so too soon to tell how many people will mispronounce it. We pronounce her name based on the French name Zhah'clean, but we pronounce the kwa in the middle, as many Americans are prone to do. This makes it 3 sylables (Jac'kwa'leen). We call her "Coley" as her nick name. This name is strong and classy, yet feminine, but not fluffy/prissy.

The votes were Khristyna and Haillee so they mixed 'em and got khailee. but they wanted to spell it different so they spelled it Keili. It was going to be Kailea or Kaeleigh or Keili. :) its a great name, oh and my middle name is Brigitte(i really like that name) peace yoz!

We are planning on using the name Xander. I love this name, even'though my family hates it. And my extended family beli'ves he will get beat up because of his name. Honestly I am appalled that my family is not being supportive of my husband and my decision. Because after all, names are up to the parents. And we shouldn't be having to defend a parenting decision before our little guy is even here. So I am happy to hear the comments of othe's who love the name, and that there are other children out there with the name, but not so many that it is a common name. Good luck with all of your little Xanders.

Anyways, there are two other girls in my with the'same name, but they spell it, Kaylee and Kali.

Both my girls were supposed to be "Kail" had they been boys. My oldest was Abigail Marie as that was the name we had chosen for a girl then. With my second I did not have a girls name chosen so I added the "ey" to Kail and added it to the list of other'suggestions we got from family and let my then 3yr old choose the name, and Kailey it was. So was born Kailey Michelle in 2017. I had never heard of any Kailey's, Kayleigh's, Kaylee's, etc., until after her birth and here in the last 12 months has become quite popular in a variety of spellings.

My name is also Kailey, I am 18 years old, and I absolutly love my name. My friends call me Kay, or Kail. i've met quite a few people with the'same name but none with the'same spelling. i've read that people with this name tend to be passionate, compassionate, intuitive, romantic, and to have magnetic personalities. They are usually humanitarian, broadminded and generous, and tend to follow professions where they can serve humanity. Because they are so affectionate and giving, they may be imposed on. They are romantic and easily fall in love, but may be easily hurt and are sometimes quick-tempered. It is such a great name to have, I love it :)

My name is Kailey and I am 17 years old. When my parents were naming me, my mom wanted to name me Hailey but my dad said he wanted my name to start with a K so they came up with Kailey. They had never heard of this name before and thought they made it up. When I was 2, we moved to a new house and there was another Kailey on my street. But she moved a couple years later. My mom is a babysitter and when she was having an interview with a pregnant couple, she introduced me to them saying my name was Kailey and they were so shocked because they planned to name their baby the'same name. At the time I HATED my name because there were all the Megans, Ashleys, Emilys, etc and I felt left out since there was no one my age with that name. Them I started to get SO many compliments one my name and my dentist even named her baby after me. Now, I LOVE my name. :)

My name is Kailey Jayne. And i love it. I'm a 91' baby, and have come across a few other Kaileys my age and younger. Not to mention a fair share of Kailees.. Kayleys.. Calieghs.. Kayleighs.. and so on. I can handle the misspelling and mispronouncing. BUT i cannot stand when i come across people who have named their dogs Kailey. Don't name your dog a persons name. Come on.

My name is Kailey and I love the name especially since it is so uncommon. (I am a fairly uncommon person)It does get mispronounced sometimes though. People often pronounce it as "Kylie"
