What do you think of Keeley?

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

Funny you should say that Madamdeathstare as they sound like my maiden name lol.
Maybe thats why mum chose it.

I don't like it- was at school with one, and that God awful woman on Loose Women has a daughter called that.

bit....common.

Don't hate me but .. it is a bit page 3 ...
What about Lara?

ha ha, I can see your point though. Ok now totally hate my middle name

no, not keen sorry

I don't like it.

Prefer Kelsey

Dated, i'm, thinking 1985, big perms and menthol fags.

It's that K thing, I really blame Marillion.

I agree that it feels a bit dated. Very 80s sort of name.

How about Kerensa? It's Cornish I think, and means 'love'.

pmsl at Marillion, Ok you have all persuaded me K names are out, sorry will be passing on Kerensa, thanks anyway

There's the actress Keeley Hawes. It's very 1970's common, if you see what I mean.

Keeley Hawes might sound posh now, but she's the daughter of a London cabbie, who had elocution lessons.

I once knew three sisters called Keeley, Shelley and Linsey.

Keely and Keeley are Irish surnames.

Only Keeleys I know are in their 30s so a bit dated.

Keeley, and similar names, were around a lot when DS was little (he's now 22) presumably inspired by Kylie. In fact at DS's playgroup there were girls called Hayley, Kayleigh, Kayley, Keeley, Kylie and Carly.

Lol your making me feel old imahappycamper, 35 to be precise, could have made a come back though, or maybe not

I must be one of those people with an irrational dislike of names beginning with "K".
Seriously don't like it and don't like
Kayleigh
Kacey
Keegan
Kelvin
kirsty
kristy
Karina or any similar sounding names either.
