I'd assume it was a family surname. And I'd be happy for her that it wasn't, say, Ramsbottom.

I think it wouldn't have been out of place with names like Nancy and Leslie, but it still would have seemed unique.

Reminds me of my friend's name - 1st syllable is a common feminine name element, 2nd syllable is *cy. It's very unique, but sounds like it could have been invented following 80s trends. She was named after her great grandmother.

I'd be surprised, but pleased since I like the name. I wouldn't be surprised if this Kelsey had been male either.

I'd think - well, 80-odd years ago, that was a very unique and interesting name for a girl to have.

Hi !!!

Kelsey is basically a surname so I would only think that it was to honouring someone. Nothing strange.

It sounds like someone born in 1980s or early 90s, so I would think that her parents were ahead of their time. I would guess that she was named for a male relative or her mother's maiden name.

I'd be very surprised, it sounds like a modern invention to me.

Surprised and wonder if it was a family name or if the parents were 80 years ahead of the game

I'd be pretty surprised, and would probably assume there was the surname Kelsey somewhere in her family tre.

I'd be emphatically shocked and also feel a bit strange, knowing that her name would never really suit her, at least in my opinion.
