Kelly
For a boy, not a girl.
Thoughts? I really like it.

I like it, but I don't love it. I used to, but I prefer other "usually female" names on boys these days.
My only thought or question would be "why not"?
I like it. I also like Kiley on a boy.
I was thisclose to being named Kelly. It's just okay to me. It's cute but is definitely dated to me. I view it as female. In fact, I always felt sorry for the males named Kelly because even as a child, I had a sense that once a name went female (Kelly, Tracy, Ashley), it just didn't go back easily. Perhaps if more parents used it for their ds, the tide would turn.
I really dislike it for a girl, but for a boy it's not bad at all. I would think people might assume it's a girl, so I would choose an obviously masculine middle name.
My mom and all her sisters have "masculine" names- there's Crey, Robyn (mom), Leslie and Kelly. I also went to school with a few females who gave it a "cheerleader" type vibe.
I have known one male Kelly who is the hippy type. I like it much better on boys. It's sort of dated on both genders but I feel like the cycle is further along for boys. I'd expect a male Kelly to have siblings named Jason, Scott, Angela, or Denise.
It's got a sort of surfer vibe to me- I guess from Kelly Slater

Crey?
That's very interesting, is there any significance behind that one?

I don't think so. I wish I knew for sure but their mother died befor I was born. It is odd, and she's the only one I've ever heard of.
I personally wouldn't use Kelly (it feels kind of dated to me), but on a boy it does have a certain "hipster" charm to it. (I'd expect his sister to be Hazel.)
I don't know how many people on the BtN boards watch "Grimm," but the baby boy born this past season premier was named Kelly. In this case he was named after another *female* character, but I still think it fits well.

aw, Should have stopped as soon as I saw the word "Grimm". DH and I are fans but it hasn't shown up on Hulu yet so I haven't watched the premier yet and my husband and I are HUGE fans.
Cool choice for them though. Totally makes sense.

Grimm
I'm pretty sure you can watch the episode on the NBC website (though there will be commercials). Unless they've taken it down...?

I know two. They are older men, but I liked the name on them both times.
I think the K gives it the oomph I expect in masculine names, so it works for me.
