HelpRe: Chelsea & Kelsey
in reply to a message by Rainya
I've known substantially more people named Kelsey than Chelsea in my life. Chelsea feels very of a certain moment to me, whereas Kelsey feels a bit less dated.
That said, both strike me as fairly dated at this point. I was first introduced to the name Kelsey when I encountered it in a yearbook (weird, I know) and thought it was much prettier than either Chelsea or Kelly. I still think I like it best of the three.
Chelsea feels so specifically associated with a certain place at this point, and I have to wonder if that early '90s spike in the US had anything to do with Chelsea Clinton - probably the first time someone of national interest had the name, right?
Anyway.
For what it's worth, I once knew sisters named Kelsey and Kelly. Not sure which is worth - Kelsey and Chelsea, or Kelsey and Kelly.

Yikes, Kelsey and Kelly is bad. I think I’d still say Kelsey and Chelsea is worse just because they rhyme, though.
