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.

BellaOfTheBalls · 30/04/2012 22:26

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

mamalovesmojitos · 30/04/2012 22:27

Pronounced like the singer! S'alright.

lisaro · 30/04/2012 22:28

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

mamalovesmojitos · 30/04/2012 22:28

? Not ! Sorry Blush. Phone + fat fingers.

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

Badgerina · 30/04/2012 23:39

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

rhibutterfly · 01/05/2012 00:09

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

SecretNutellaFix · 01/05/2012 12:08

sorry- I think it's horrible.

EdithWeston · 01/05/2012 12:11

I'd never heard the name before and I don't take to it, sorry.

SLVC · 01/05/2012 12:25

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

rhibutterfly · 01/05/2012 12:27

LOL it's the aunt who's called kelly x

Haha OK, I'm still not so keen, but it's not so bad now.. ;-)

RobinSparkles · 01/05/2012 14:06

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

BBQJuly · 01/05/2012 15:12

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

How about Carys?

DidntGetTheMemo · 01/05/2012 15:56

My milkshake brings all the boy's to the yard....

NO

Stellan · 01/05/2012 19:33

Not one for me.

But I like names to have meaning and history.

FrauGrau · 01/05/2012 19:45
