Uhm, no! My first thought was Lelly Kellys shoes (bit remote but still).
It does not sound nice. Nor does it look nice on paper.

No.

Sorry.

Is it pronounced Kell-is or Kel-lees?

Sorry to be blunt IMHO it's awful. but I am very old fashioned when it comes to names

Sorry. Sounds made up and 'trashy' to me. A bit Jeremy Kyle.

It's dreadful. Is it a made up name?

Don't like it I'm afraid. Too much like Kelly which I hate, and too much like the singer. Sounds made up.

It sounds like what is referred to on here as a 'chav' name, sorry.

It's bad enough on it's own, but purely terrible for the daughter of a Kelly! Is her dad called Ellis..?

Awful! I say that as someone with a name that is similar.

When I saw the thread I assumed it was a boys' name.

How about Carys?
