This is my name and it's awesome! I hate how people are like blah it's better with a k and blah blah balh. It's unique and that's why I love it. There's barely anyone who spells it c-a-y-l-e-y. It's Irish not English. It means slender / Irish princess.

I highly doubt the name 'Cayley' means Irish princess. 'Cayley' is not Irish at all, it's merely a variant of the modern English name Kaylee, which is a combination of Kay and Lee. The closest to Irish it could be is an anglicization of the word ceilidh, typically anglicized as Kayleigh. You could also be thinking of Cailin, which is an Irish word (emphasis on word) that means girl. So no, there is no real meaning of the name Cayley. Is purely a modern invention, and if you really want to give it a meaning you have to trace it all the way back to either Kayleigh or Cailin, both modern English names that are simply anglicizations of Irish words not meant to be used as names.

I don't like these trendy child names. I mean what happens when you're 50 and your name is Cayley. Seriously it's a little kid name. There's so many ways to spell this name it's annoying.Kaylee Kailee Kayley Kayleigh Kaylie Caylee Cayley Cayleigh etc.
