HelpRe: What is your favorite spelling of kay-lee?
in reply to a message by Amandine
I think I'd pick Kayleigh, or Kayley.
I'm not normally in the -leigh fan club, but Kayleigh looks kind of antiquated and romantic to me, there's something vaguely Southern about it (maybe it reminds me of Raleigh, NC?) so that gives it some classic vibes. Kayleigh feels like she could be in a Tennessee Williams play.
Kaylee is the original, but it's so thoroughly childlike and high-energy that I cannot get my mind to imagine a fully adult, legitimate and serious Kaylee, which strips it of any "classic" vibe, even though Kay and Lee are very preppy-classic.
Kayleigh feels more complete and like it could age somewhat gracefully on a variety of personalities.
Kayley seems more balanced and symmetrical compared to Kaylee, and bears a similarity to Hayley, which grounds it - so that's my second pick. It's trim and tidy, very tennis-bracelet country club Cape Cod chic.
Kaylie isn't bad, but I can see what you mean by cutesy. Maybe a bit too peppy. It's not bad though, very breezy.
Kailey and Kaley look ambiguous in terms of pronunciation; like they could be versions of Kylie or Kallie, so I would cross those off my list.
