Kelly for a boy??
How do people feel about naming a boy Kelly?
I know there are a lot of football players and basketball players
with names like this. For example: leslie, lindsey, tracy, shannon.
What are your opinions?

I think that Kelly would be better spelled as Kelli
with an I because most of the girls are spelled with
a y so that makes it different! *** *~chassity~*

The letter "i" is usually used to make a name feminine. Kelly is a nice name for a boy but I would be sure to use a very masculine middle name or use Kelly as a middle name in case young children don't have the same opinion as we adults.

My boyfriend is called Robert Francis and he said he was so embarrassed at school by his middle name because it sounded like the girl's name: Frances. But things have changed since the sixties! Where I live there are a lot of unusual names for young kids, for instance there is a girl in my son's school called Unique... And then of course everyone changes spelling of names to be original: Aryane instead of Ariane, etc.Kelly is nice, I think quite girly but the name always grows on the person in the end. Putting an "i" would make it more feminine, wouldn't it? As in Toni?
One of my superior at work still gets annoyed when people take for granted that it's a man because of her position (MD) and the fact that she is called Lesley. She insists that Lesley is for a woman and Leslie for a man - but everybody does not seem to know that, so you will never cut down on the possibility of the confusion occurring...

I like the name Kelly for a boy. I also think that he should have a more masculine middle name so he can use it when he is older if he does not Kelly. Alot of names work with Kelly. Perhaps "Kelly Michael" Or "Kelly Charles"?

Though I like names that more distinctive when it comes to masculine and femine names. But Kelly can work for a boy! I know some Kelly's that are guys! So if you like it go for it!!Gia

Actually, Kelly is one of the only names that I like for a boy. I mean more feminine names. I went to school with a guy named Kelly Cates, and he was such a cutie! :)Sarahjeanne
