How would you pronounce this name? (Kylee)

[AshhhM]

Kylee?

I have started working with a little Kylee, which I originally pronounced Kai-Leigh (Kai as in the name, so sounds like eye)...

My goodness, her mother was fuming. Apparently I'm stupid anyway, she says it's said as Key-Leigh.

How would you have pronounced it?

I come from the generation where every fifth girl was called Kylie, Keeley, Keely, Kelly, Kayleigh, Keeleigh, Kylee, Kellie, Kelley, or some other variation on the above. I would pronounce the name as Kylie, like Kylie Minogue.

Kylie - like Minogue.

If you want your child's name to be pronounced correctly then spell it correctly. Or at least phonetically if you are intent on being you-need.

You-neeq

Definitely Kylie. If she wanted Kaylee or Keely she should have spelled it that way.

My dad's cousin named her daughter Cassie but pronounced it Casey and used to be irritated when people pronounced it Kass-ee

I would have done the same as you op. Ky is rhymes with eye.

You cannot make up random pronounciatipns.

If you make up a spelling expect people to use their phonetic knowledge to pronounce the word.

Excuse the typos.

You don't sound snobby at all OP. Which is to your credit, given the circumstances. Poor kid.

Kylie, as in Minogue.

The pronunciation she's after is spelt Keeley.
