Opinions: Keri for a girl's name

[PregnantMomma]

Hello All!

I'm curious what others think about the name Keri for a baby girl.

I'd like to know what you all think of the name itself and with the middle name Alexandra. My surname is Johnson btw.

Thanks!

Alexandra is lovely. Keri is very 80s and nowhere near as classy. Carrie is nice, as is Cerys.

It's OK. Kiri?

Very dated imo

I'm a Ceri. And definitely older than 1980s. Unfortunately outside of Wales it is considered "chavvy" and people feel free to comment on it to me regularly.

I like it. I know a wonderful Kerry. I slightly prefer the Welsh Ceri, but Kerry and Keri are both nice too. Yes, maybe it's a bit dated but I'm a little sick of the current set of overly frilly popular girls' names, so a baby Keri would be a breath of fresh air.

Alexandra is a good middle name.

Well discovering my name is associated with semen and dated is a bit disheartening 😂

Also prefer the Welsh Ceri. Or Cerys. It is viewed as chavvy and dated in my area but I really like it.

I love Keri! I think it’s nice that it’s a bit unusual these days!

I also like Carrie and Carey.

Badgers, erase it from your mind! I only noticed it when googling

I still like it

Not keen. Ceri is prettier. Cari would avoid the 'is it Serry, Cherie, Cherry?'

I would prefer Ceri, with the k it sounds a bit dated.

I’ve name changed for obvious reasons but I’m a Keri.

Firstly the Hebrew slang term. I once found that online and was literally horrified but no one has ever ever commented, sent it to me or made reference.

It’s like I once heard the Name Greg is a word used in Spanish to mean be sick. I bet if that’s the case no one ever knew.

Secondly, yes I do have to spell it out fairly often but don’t always bother if it’s just giving my name for something unimportant.
But so do Catherine’s / Kathryn’s and Elizabeth’s / Elisabeth’s 🤷‍♀️

OP go for it if you like it, I’ve had positive comments all my life about my name and people always comment on how they like the short spelling
