Opinions on Kelsey?

[BradleysSister]

Brother is Bradley.

Thanks

I like it.

I don't like it.

It was popular where I am 10-15 years ago, so it seems quite dated (similar to Kayley etc). Plus the only Kelsey I know well is a complete brat, so I'm putt off the name.

Its a boys name, right? Like Kelsey Grammer, Frazier?

Its not my cup of tea, but why not?

Its a boys name, right? Like Kelsey Grammer, Frazier?

Not in modern usage, no.

I love Kelsey, for a girl only.

No, hate it as a girls name and not keen for boys either

Yes, for a girl

It seems very dated to me. Very eighties, like Kayleigh. I don't like it much either.

No sorry. Its in the same league as
Chelsea
Courtney. What my dsis was going to call my 2cd nephew. If he were a girl. I leapt 10 foot in the air. When I found out it was another boy.
I didn't fancy shouting "Courtney" around The Asda.

Not keen, sorry.

Sorry, I'm not a fan either, but it's not offensive in any way, and I don't think it would attract ridicule or anything so it's all just down to opinion and yours is the important one here. If this is the one you feel is right, go for it!

It's the name of one of the nicest teens I know.

I associate it with things like Chelsea, Courtney, Kayleigh, etc and it feels chavvy to me

I really like it. Also love Keeley.

I'm from Dagenham, city of 'chavs' (apparently) and have never met one

Wasn't there one in Casualty some years ago? She annoyed me. I do realise that might not be a reason to not use it

First thought is Frasier. Second thought is it sounds made up/chavvy and very like Chelsea. Will be shortened to 'Kel' so might as well be Kelly. Kelsey does sound dated too.

I really dislike it.

A bunch of people I know who are Irish-American have daughters named Kelsey and they are convinced it's an Irish name. So I therefore associate it with people who don't know what they're talking about.

I place it in a category with Kaitlyn/Caitlyn, Megan and all other faux Irish names.

Love this name.

That's my name.

Early 70's child. It's not Irish but it means "from the ship's island" so the Americans have got their wires crossed there.

When I was young I was the only person in the world with that name. Or so it felt!

I love it though but get annoyed when people say Chelsea instead. Ugh!

Gets shortened to Kels a lot. I don't do that though.

Not keen. Sorry. But it's different in different countries. I'm in uk.

I assumed it was for a boy at first because I've only heard it used as Kelsey Grammar's name.
I quite like it though, I've never met one!

It's a bit dated to the 90s to me, all the ones I have known (boys and girls) are well into their teens..

That said, I do like the name.

Sorry not keen, sounds very 80s/90s to me along with Kelly, Kaley, Keeley etc

It's a park to me (I grew up in Beckenham). A lovely park mind you, but I don't like it as a name personally

What mathanxiety said. Don't start me on the faux-Irish name with a side order of Begorra.
