[Facts] Kellye
This is an actress I found on IMDb.com. She's Hawaiian. Does anyone know anything about it? At first I read it Kelley, but after looking twice I was really confused. Any ideas? Would you say it is pro. Kel-lye?-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
