Just out of curiosity, do you like the name Keeley?

I like it

PriamFarrl · 21/04/2023 07:27

It’s a bit 80s. That said, I know two. One is 16 and one is 7.

NannyR · 21/04/2023 07:28

I quite like it, I also love Kirsty which has a similar vibe.

BigTedLittleTedCardboardBox · 21/04/2023 07:46

One of my least liked names. It just has a very unpleasant sound. Mealy. touchy-feely. Not a fan of names with a hard C sound generally.

I wanted to change my name as an immature 14 year old and a male mate suggested this. Was very offended as it didnt sound at all sophisticated or clever!
It's a noise sort of name. Keeley Kayley Kylie...actually prefer Kylie.

emmathedilemma · 21/04/2023 08:56

No, it actually makes me cringe

Comedycook · 21/04/2023 09:01

Horrible name imo

Robinsflyhigh · 21/04/2023 12:37

I don't dislike it, but when I see it written down I feel overwhelmed by the letter "e".

I think it's pretty, but it was always going to be too downmarket for MN.

Never ask opinions of any girls' name on MN unless it is Otillie, Margot or Clara.

100%

ColdHandsHotHead · 21/04/2023 17:48

No. To me, it's not actually a real name.

salamithumbs · 22/04/2023 01:45

It makes me think of someone keeling over 😬also agree it feels very 80s

What! These are so much worse! Clotillie?? 🤣 I prefer Kaley or Kelsey, if you want something similar

Keeley is fine. Kylie is to cute as Keeley is to traditional.

DeflatedAgain · 22/04/2023 06:30

I like it. I grew up with a girl who's name was spelt - Keely.

itsabigtree · 22/04/2023 06:48

I love keeley!

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 22/04/2023 07:03

It’s not great. I know a couple. Both are difficult personalities. I can’t imagine a baby with this name at all! I doubt it will make a comeback.

Dotcheck · 22/04/2023 07:09

I like it.
I clicked on the thread to see how many posts it would take for someone to call it ‘chavy’. Didn’t take long. Predictable

drpet49 · 22/04/2023 07:11

Don’t like it

Hedjwitch · 22/04/2023 07:20

I know one. Currently studying to be a nurse. Lovely girl but dont like the name.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 22/04/2023 07:23

I hope any Keeleys reading this thread aren't feeling too offended!

forthisinamechange · 22/04/2023 07:33

No only because I associate it with the only one I ever knew and she wasn't a nice girl!

MarciaSaysANumber · 22/04/2023 08:12

I have nothing against any existing Keeley! I don’t currently know any but I’m sure they’re all perfectly nice. Until invited to express an opinion I didn’t know I had one - it’s not as if I seek out Keeleys to tell them the non-specific, abstract impression I have of their name based on various fictional TV personas.
