Kelly for a boy???xx

[CinderellaRach]

Hi MN's thankyou for your replies when I asked if you liked the name Finn.I still love it and I realise that DH's mind will not be changed no matter what I say!!
I have a son Ellis and expecting second son in 4 and a half months.
The only name we can agree on is Kelly.Does it go with Ellis and is it too girly??

A 35 year old woman's name? How dare you, I'm 29

Though, clearly, it was already passe when my parents came up with it in 1980...

In the same vein I have always liked Hilary or Kim for a boy but was not brave enough to use them.

I know a male Kerry, i've always thought it worked quite well though he is really good looking so that might help .

I think Kelly is nice for a boy, not too girly, there are quite a few famous male Kellys which helps.

i love the name kelly for a boy, but my OH would never go for it.

i know male kerrys too. like tha aswell.

that

Fantastic!Overall good feedback!

I like Kelly for a boy. As far as I'm aware, it was originally a boy's name and then got hijacked. The only thing, for me, is that it sets of a Music Hall song in my head (I'm possibly the only 31 yr old in the country for whom that would be true):
"Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K-E-Double L-Y
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Find him if you can!
He's as bad as old Antonio,
He left me on my own-io.
Has anybody here seen Kelly,
Kelly from the Isle of Man."

I really like it for a boy (not for a girl). I'm sure Kelly Jones has a lot to do with that

I like Kim for a boy a well

Thankyou said!
Not heard that poem AllieW!Will try to remember that hehe!!x
