Chelsea. I don’t like Kelsey.

Kelsey! I went to high school with a Chelsea, and... idk, she just gave me kind of a "meh" vibe. So, Kelsey it is!

Kelsey

I was literally thinking of this yesterday! At the moment I'm more drawn to Kelsey, and I think overall at any time I'm more drawn to Kelsey. Chelsea is cute, but it lacks a little something. Kelsey is the next level up.

Chelsea. To me it has a really fun retro seafoam-and-peach soul. "Chels" is cute.

Kelsey seems cooler. Easier to say, and brighter. Less dated imo (less popular). Chelsea feels to me like it's trying a little, to evoke something - like Tiffany, Brittany, Courtney, Harper - while Kelsey is just a trendy name that doesn't apologize for being one. Like Kelly or Avery.
Chelsea seems more "could be unisex!!" but not really, hardly anyone really ever wanted to name boys it. Kelsey seems more actually unisex - started as a guy name - but with feminine appeal when it's on a gal, like Lindsay or Taylor could have.
Chelsea is like a bomber jacket in one of those "baroque" colorful prints with gold chains; Kelsey is like a light-wash denim jacket with appliques.
But I like Chelsea alright. Not knocking it.

Chelsea, since it's a favorite.

Here Chelsea is part of London and a football club, no thank you!

I would shorten Kelsey to Kelly or Kel.
