I did not know this was a name - I don't really like it for that reason.

It's a dance, not a name!

As an alternative to Kayleigh? No, it's ridiculous IMO.

Excellent for a party. Not so much for a name.

Will a potenti subsequent sibling be called Disco? Or maybe Barn-Dance?

Eilidh is lovely, Ceilidh/Kayleigh is a bit 1980s.

It's a better spelling of Kayleigh than Keighley which is definitely pronounced Keith-Lee if you come from my part of the country

My opinion is that it's not a name Hmm

Don't be daft. But you could call siblings Pipe and Drum.

Kayleigh if you like how it sounds.

I can only assume your being flooded with hormones and not thinking straight .

Please don't call your child ceilidh unless you want her to encounter Scots going Confused for the rest of her life.

Eilidh however is a gorgeous name.
