Re: Kellye
in reply to a message by Seda*
I think it's just a kre8iv form of Kelly. I would say it KEL-ee too.There was a Kellye on M*A*S*H too, Kellye Yamato; she was the plump and short Asian nurse. Her actress's name was Kellye Nakahara, which is where I suppose her onscreen name came from.Miranda
