My name is Kaleigh and I think It's a great name, i've never met anyone with my name but judging from the comments below it is a tomato/tamato type of thig even'though I pronounce mine as Kay-lee
my name is KaLeigh and one would think that'someone can pronounce it correctly...esp since I'm from south ga! people around here say "cah-lee" or "ka-lee-ah" or even "kayla". I'm sprry but Leigh is the female version of "lee" and Ka is like "kay". some people are just ignorant! i swear! haha.

One of my twin daughter's name is Kaleigh. We pronounce is "Cali" or "Kallie" not KAY-LEE. We love it! People just need to realize there are more than one way to spell/pronounce a name. Just like "Jesus". Can be pronounced "Hey-Zeus" or "Gee-zuz". Kind of a silly example, but you get the idea. It is nice of people who ask how to pronounce her name instead of automatically calling her "KAY-LEE".
My daughters name is Kaliegh we pronounce it Like Kaylee. I love the name!
My 4 year old daughter's name is Kaleigh, pronounced Kay-lee. I love the name and so does she. When I named her I wanted to spell it a unique way that's why I chose the'spelling I did. Very rarely do people ever pronounce it correctly. Yesterday at the doctor's office the nurse oronunced it Ka-lee-ah. I get so fusfrated and very quickly correct them. To me It's pretty obvious the way It'should be pronounced.
my name is kaleigh too. no one ever'spells my name right either...but there are so many kaylee's and kaili's out there and hardly any kaleighs...so It's cool.
My name is Kaleigh, pronounced Kay-lee, and I love it! I haven't ever met anyone that'spelled it and pronounced it the'same way, but I always get compliments on what a pretty name it is. But, I rarely ever have anyone spell or pronounce it right...I usually get Calleigh or Kalei!
We just named our beautiful daughter Alice because it is a strong, classic, feminine name. It also just happens to be her great-grandmother's first name (who was named after her beloved grandmother). I think it is a fab name and it is gaining in popularity!

My name is Kaleigh and I love it. Everyone always spells it wrong and mispronounces it but I just brush it off. It's original and that's what I love most about it.
I spell my name Ka'Leigh. You say it like kay-lee. i love it! It's so unique and i don't know anyone that'spells it like i do! a lot of people can't pronounce it they always say "Kallie!" It's a great name!
Hi all, my name is Kaleigh and I'm from Australia. My parents just made up the name as well despite there being 12,000 plus of us. And yes people spell and read it wrong ALL the time. But I love it because it means I have lots of nicknames. That and its nice to have a name you don't hear every day. Ive only ever met one other girl with the'same reading and spelling!

My name is Kalei as well, obviously my parents didn't research proper'spelling for pronunciation purposes! The'spelling is of Hawaiian spelling which is pronounced kah lay ee, I'm from southern Illinois so its simply kaylee, do love the uniqueness of my name but the'spelling completely throws everyone off!
Hey my name is Kaleigh too, but no one can pronounce it properly! So I just tell them it is pronounced like the abreviation of California, so it would sound like Cali.

Hi there! My name is Kaleigh and NOBODY can spell it right...or say it right for that matter! I see from comments left before that many of the Kaleigh's pronounce it as KAYLEE...as It'should be, but I pronounce mine like KAYLA. Most of the time I don't even correct people because I am so used to it now! I think I have only met two people who actually said it right, I was shocked! It's funny though when people say something completely off like Kelly or Cali. Funny funny... but yes, I love my name, It's unique.
