Nope, I agree(m)
I've always thought it looked like a messed up form of Kelly.

count me, also, as "not a Keely fan"
The look and sound of Keely is sort of trivial, childish, and small to me.
It's not so bad that it'd bother me every time I addressed the person, or that I'd have an urge to make fun of it, or find it unbelievable on a doctor or judge - I just think it's a disappointingly cutesy sounding name on paper, without much character. It flunks the lover-moaning-it test. Nice for a pet, perhaps.
Keelin has its place, and an additional helping of dignity, but it seems trendy to me too.

Same here
To "keel" is to capsize or a part of a ship (among other things), or "keel over" as in faint.
Not really anything I want my children to think of every time they hear their names.
And Keelie and Keelin are worse than Keely as they look even more made up in a negative way...
But I'd pay you to use "Over" as a mn for Keelin as in "Keelin' Over." (jk jk)

No, I don't like them either

No, I don't really like it either
It's very, very trendy and sounds quite childish to me. Although I do have to say that I prefer Keely (pr. KEEL-ee) over Kelly for a girl.
Keelin's another matter. It's one of several Anglicisations of Caoilfhionn, and is the spelling closest to Caoilfhionn's pronunciation. So I think Keelin's alright for someone else, though it's not for me.
EDIT: I just looked at BtN's entry for Keely, which says it's a variant of Kayley. I prefer it as an alternate form of Kelly, or else think of it as a purely non-etymologically based modern made-up name.
Kayley's an Anglicisation of Caollaidhe, and spelled just Kayley it's trendy but alright imo. Kaylee / Kayleigh is just Kay + Lee / Leigh to me, and is unrelated to Kayley; ditto with Kayleah (KAY-lee-ah to me), only with Kay + Leah. Caileigh, Caleigh, Kaelee, ad nauseum are just bad misspellings of Kayley to me, and I can't think of anything good to say about them.
