[Opinions] Kelly for a boy
I only like Kelly for a boy, but everyone I've mentioned it to considers it a girl's name. WDYT of it for a boy? Any MN suggestions?

Yes!
I love this name on a boy! I don't know why, but I wouldn't use it for a girl. For the middle name though, I would use something masculine.

Meh ... does nothing for me. I suppose it's better on a boy than on a girl; it's overused on girls. But the name in general has no charm in my opinion. It sounds like "skelly", "belly", "smelly" and a dozen other not-so-lovely words. It's also rather 80s. I'd rather see Ashley on a boy, which is very dashing.

I've know several male Kellys. It doesn't seem uncommon as a male name.
I think it's fine for either gender, personally.

I adore Kelly on a boy. I would prefer to see it on a boy than on a girl, these days. I'm no help as far as middle names though. :)
I would prefer Kellen or Keller nn Kelly. Some men can pull off a unisex names and others can't. And now a days, people will assume Kelly is a girl, so a man with a feminine name is going to have to deal with some jokes and mail addressed to Miss rather than Mr.
Some guys are fine with that, others aren't.

I'm really liking Kellen now that it's been mentioned a couple times!
As far as I'm concerned? Kelly = boy. Kellie = Girl. It's one of those names that I consider unisex. :) And it's very cool on a boy (and just really 80s on a girl), so I say yes.

I think that Kelly is a great name for a boy! (Then again, I may be a bit biased.)
Combos that haven't been mentioned yet:
Kelly Andrew
Kelly Lysander
Kelly Richard (my own!)
Kelly Robert
Already mentioned, but one of my favorites, is Kelly Adrian.
ETA: I thought of some more combos.

Absolutely!
I really can't stand Kelly on a girl. Kelly is entirely a boy's name where I'm concerned, though I know practically everyone else disagrees. I am biased, though, because I've personally known a couple of very sexy guys named Kelly, and never liked any of the girls named Kelly/ey I've met.
Although I really like it, as I say, I've never given much thought to a combination. Let's see... (my faves with *)
Kelly Mack*
Kelly Michael
Kelly Logan*
Kelly Sean
Kelly Shane*
Kelly Christopher
Kelly Nicholas
Kelly Kalani*
Kelly Keanu
Kelly Thomas
Kelly Elliott*
Kelly Antonio
Kelly Frederick*
Kelly Edward
Kelly Dirk
Kelly Donovan
Kelly Duncan
Kelly Scott*
Kelly Dominic
Kelly Craig*
Kelly Karl
Kelly Cole
