Kelly.
As in Irish surname, as in Kelly Jones of Stereophonics.

Would you?

Its fine, something alternative but classy.

My male cousin is called Kelly - too me a long long tiime to accept it's more commonly a girls name!

Don't the Irish have a knack of taking simple names and spelling them in a ridiculous way. Surely Kelly would be spelt Kelighah or something equally unpronounceable. Aside from that, no.

I really like it but I don't think I would.
It might be cool when he's older but imagine the stick he'd get growing up.

i wouldn't personally because I don't particularly like the name,

wouldn't bat an eyelid if someone else did though. i went to school with a boy called Kelly (S.E england here)

Not unless I was Irish. This side of the water it is definitely just for girls.

Nope
