A couple of days ago I was thinking about combos for Matilda and for some reason Keely Matilda popped up In my mind. Keely has not been on my PNL or even in my line of vision before that but now I'm really starting to like it. It felt a little nickname-y before but the more I say it, the more I think it could pass (very nicely) as a full name. So, WDYTO Keely and the combo Keely Matilda?, can you think of any other Keely combos?

I love Keely but, spelt Keeley. Keely Matilda I don't really like when I hear the name Keely I think a young woman but when I hear Matilda I think of an older lady plus I'm not a fan of Matilda as it is. But if you like it thats all that matters.

I don't mind the name Keely, although I wouldn't use it myself. Keely Matilda does have a nice ring to it.

I'm not a fan of Keely, and I can't put my finger on why that is - I knew someone called Keely and she was nice, so it's not that, and I like other names with similar sounds. Maybe Caoimhe/Keavy Matilda? I love Matilda, it's definitely going to be an FN for me!

Hmmm Keely sounds a bit council estate for me. I knew a woman who had two daughters called Keely and Kerry, which I thought was horrible!

Keely Matilda sounds fine together. Can't say I'm a big fan of Keely though. It just sounds kind of like, not a real name. Like somebody is trying to say Kelly and can't.

I really dislike this name, it's too kidsy and unrefined.
If you were desperate to use it, I think it would make a passable middle name. Matilda Keely is an OK combo.

No. I really don't like Keely and the combo just seems so mismatched. Keely is trendy and cutesy, Matilda is old-fashioned and not trendy (though it is coming back).

It can pass as a full name, I agree. But Keely looks more at home next to a mn like Nicole or Marie.
