HelpRe: WDYT of Keeley?
in reply to a message by as
I hate being negative, but Keeley strikes me as unoriginal and plain. It doesn't help that it's one of those surname-trendy '-ley'-ending names along the line of Kiley/Riley/Haley/Bailey/Finley/Presley/Marley/Paisley...
If you like the name, then that's really all that counts. :) But could you imagine a 30-, 40-, 50-, 60- or 70-year old named Keeley? Will the name grow with her as she gets older? Could you imagine a professional woman who has long grown out of toddler cuteness carrying this name? Will she be the only Keeley in a classroom or will she have to write her surname's initial on all her paperwork for school? Just questions to think about.

I kind of agree but...
Its kind of cute. I know the -ley endings are popular, but I dont know. Its simply, feminine, but not overly done.
I dont know if it ages well though, but as far as if she is the only one in her class...I grew up being one Kristina fish is a sea of them...I never signed my first name on anything I turned in (unless it was typed or something). I was the only one with my surname, so I always used that. Some teachers even started calling me by my surname because it was less confusing. There are ways around the ever-so-popular names...
