And Kayleigh could we get it together again?

Gmbk · 29/09/2016 21:17

Kayleigh

Kaylee is awful.

Dancing in stilettos in the snow

The glamour Hmm

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 29/09/2016 21:41

If I even tried dancing in stilettos in the snow I'd fall over.

Now, the glamour of making love on a floor in Belsize Park...

Ohdofuckoffplease · 29/09/2016 21:45

Kayleigh

Conflictedoncemore · 29/09/2016 21:47

Hey there, there's also the spelling Kaleigh without the 'y' which Ii am fond of.

katemess12 · 29/09/2016 22:09

This name bothers me purely because there doesn't seem to be one accepted spelling for it.

I prefer the look of Kaylie because I don't like -eigh spellings.

I'd probably spell it Kaley, personally.

CremeEggThief · 29/09/2016 22:12

I know someone who's in her early 30s who spells it Kayliegh.

seven201 · 29/09/2016 22:27

Kayleigh definitely

bluebirdx · 30/09/2016 00:25

KayleyHmm

hoddtastic · 30/09/2016 00:46

Do you have other names on your list as this is a bit 80s

Pipilangstrumpf · 30/09/2016 14:19

I actually prefer the simpler Kaylee - that is easy to spell and pronounce.

eachtigertires · 02/10/2016 14:47

Kaley

Cluesue · 02/10/2016 14:48

I know a kailea

ApollO88 · 02/10/2016 14:59

I'm a Kayley

LunaLoveg00d · 02/10/2016 16:59

Neither. It's the 1980s equivalent of Lily-Rose or Ava-Mae.

Don't like Kaylee, Kaylie, Kylie, Kayleigh, Kay-Lee or any of the other millions of ways you could dream up to spell it.

PoldarksBreeches · 02/10/2016 17:01

It's not a great name really but if you love it, then Kayleigh

neonrainbow · 02/10/2016 17:02

Kayleigh i reckon. Only people on mumsnet will know how to spell that C version.

crayfish · 02/10/2016 17:04

Kaley for me. It's seems the least 'fussy'

crayfish · 02/10/2016 17:05

The 'C' version is a Scottish word so probably mumsnet and the whole of Scotland will be able to spell it,

LunaLoveg00d · 02/10/2016 17:10

Yes but a ceilidh is a Scottish dance. Using the ceilidh spelling is equivalent to calling your baby Disco or Rave.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 02/10/2016 17:12

"Rave" Grin

CauliflowerSqueeze · 02/10/2016 17:15

Cherry blossom in the market square...

crayfish · 02/10/2016 17:35

Well yes, Ceilidh isn't actually a name. Eilidh is though.

LadySaladinForge · 02/10/2016 17:39

How can 'Kaylee' be seen as a 'joke'?

Firefly!
