Opinions on Kaleese?

Back when I was in middle school, years ago…I knew a girl named Kaleese. It struck me as a very interesting name; I had never heard of it before. Since then, it’s been a favorite of mine. I’m curious where her parents got it, but I was too shy to ask, lol. All I know is that her mom is Portuguese. I wonder if it has any ties to Portugal? I really love the way it sounds; it’s pronounced as “Kuh-LEES”. Kind of like the English pronunciation of Elise but with a “k”. It’s also unique, because I’ve never heard of it on anyone else. I looked up as much info as I could about it, but I found nothing. It does reminds me of Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. Anyways…if you read my entire huge ramble; can you please tell me your opinions on Kaleese?

My initial inclination is that it's a misspelling of Khaleesi.

Regardless, I don't care for it at all.

I prefer Khaleesi. This one looks tricky to me.

It's interesting. I'd prefer lise at the end instead of leese. Kalise, Kelise, something like that. Calise?
Calise and Kelise are in the submitted names, but not Kalise or Kaleese.

ETA: I guess Kelise would be confusing because it looks like Kelsie...

First thought is that its a fabricated name. A quick seach turned up a couple people with the name including a varient spelling on a Jamaican athlete, but no history, no meaning.
Can't say I like it much, even less for apparently lacking any depth, its not horrible, better than some overly trendy names, but its not great, not at all.
