Help[Opinions] Re: Kelsey
in reply to a message by aussiechic04
I don't feel like it is too dated to use but that is because I've never met a Kelsey. I've met quite a few Kelly's and Chelsea's but no or very few Kelsey's. Where are all these Kelsey's because the name was fairly popular and yet I've never come across one? I went to a K-12 school and I never saw any Kelsey's in my sister's age group or the slightly younger kids.
I think Kelsey seems happy and peppy, it makes me think of big cheery sunflowers. I really like the name and I don't feel that it isn't intellectual. My science teacher Kathryn Kelsey and then there is Kelsey Grammer actually makes the name Kelsey have nerd vibes to me but the feel of the name gives it passionate nerd vibes. I imagine a Kelsey talking a mile-a-minute about some really nerdy thing she is super passionate about. Kind of like the character Leslie Knope but more of a nerd, so Kelsey to me has the personality I'd imagine from Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt's daughter. Lol.
That's why I used the name for my very passionate aspiring scientist character. Her personality is often quiet and completative seeming but in reality her mind is passionately dashing with questions, ideas, and possibilities. Ask my character about something she is interested in and be surprised with explosion of excitement and information. My character is inspired by John Muir, Leslie Knope, my father, and this amazing scientist I met in Maui named Cory.
Cory was a guy in his 40's or 50's with crazy fly-away curly pale hair, he only wore shorts, and had thick roundish glasses that the rims looked like they had gotten melted out in the sun. He lived and worked at the really laid-back and not well taken care of church camp we stayed at in Maui on the grounds of an old sugar cane plantation. He lived in a canvas tent on the beach and slept on a cot. His tent other than his cot was pretty much completely filled to the ceiling with piles of books most of them heavy oceanography and marine biology text books and some field guides. I and a few other students saw into his tent while he was looking for one of his field guides, I was so surprised by just how many books he had in there. He was our guide to most of the marine life we encountered in tide pools and while snorkeling on our Maui class trip. I'll always remember the night tide pool walk we went on and him with his head lamp on passionately chatting away about things we found. He was the kind of person you meet and would expect to see in a fiction novel rather than rl. He was a font of knowledge and you could tell that he lived and breathed the ocean and wanted to study it as much as he could. He was always very passionate whenever he talked and was a true naturalist.
