What do you think of Keeley as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Put on your hard hate, MN seems to have an irrational distaste of 'K' names.

Keeley is not so bad, I wouldn't choose it, but have no strong opinions on it

Lionstar · 21/04/2010 12:37

hard hat I meant

alfiemama · 21/04/2010 12:42

Thanks Lionstar, I know what you mean and to be honest, I don't go a bundle on then either, but this is my middle name. I always hated it but always got a lovely reaction to the name and have now come to like it.

Also our surname is similar sounding to Hawes as in Keeley Hawes.

Meh. Neither dislike or like really. Sorry

alfiemama · 21/04/2010 13:33

Its ok youremindmeofthebabe, I think it could be preg hormones, as I cant decide if I like it.

It's not to my taste (I'm one of those with an irrational dislike of K names ), but it's a nice reason for choosing a name.

The Keeley I know has sisters named Keziah & Yasmin.
I personally like Keziah best of those 3. .

Not keen on Keeley, sounds too squeaky like Keeeeeeeley

MrsYoung · 21/04/2010 14:02

I don't like it but only because there was a Keeley in the year above me at school who was a right cow

AntoinetteOuradi · 21/04/2010 14:03

Oh dear no. And I have no general objections to K names.

Where does it come from?

Now you see, I'm very anti-K names, but I quite like Keeley! (I think because it looks like Keeley is its correct spelling and not someone trying to be clever and "unique")

venusonarockbun · 21/04/2010 14:31

Dont like it at all. Makes me think - Keel - Keel over - drunk.

IngridFletcher · 21/04/2010 14:35

I don't like it because it is a lot like my name which I don't like particularly.

I think it may be having a resurgance though as I know a toddler Keeley.

BessieBoots · 21/04/2010 14:36

Reminds me of Keele College.

alfiemama · 21/04/2010 14:43

Its not looking good then
