Every year is a waking struggle and I am constantly called “Kaylie” when my name is meant to be pronounced “Kylie.” Please do not name your kid this unless you want their lives to be set for inconvenience like having to correct your name every single time a teacher calls attendance. I also notice some other Kaileys here and it’s funny that they have the opposite problem.
Essentially for a little share/more details on my experiences with this name was that in elementary school, I’d have to correct the pronunciation of my name every year to the point where when we’d have a sub, my classmates piped in to correct them for me lol! But as a middle schooler with many more classes I’ve kinda just learned to stop correcting teachers after maybe the first day or two and only my actual friends would really know.
A funny thing that happened due to me doing this was that during Open House (just a school event for parents to come and teachers to display students’ work), 2 of my teachers who knew my name as the 2 different variants were like “Hi Kailey” in both forms but what’s funny is that they didn’t really acknowledge what they did, much to my gratefulness, and it kinda just went on like normal.
For my personal take on this, just don’t name your child “Kailey” or just any other name that’s phonetically controversial in its pronunciation and you can set your child’s life off just slightly more fortunately :)
- a passionate Kailey.

For some reason I really love this spelling.

Damn why do people hate the name Kailey so much? I think it's a cool name.
And this spelling is so much better than other spellings of the name Kailey
If you ask me it's much better than boring old Hailey.

I'd rather Kaylee or Bailey not Kailey. Please don't choose both moms.

I was in a section of a game where I had the option of either saving 1 or both mothers from death; I was stuck on that choice for hours, but since you advised me to not choose both moms, I finally can get through that tough choice!

LMAO.
Also, I have a friend named Kailey who is really smart, caring, and interesting; this is my impression on this name. I love the spellings Caylee, Cayleigh, Kayleigh, Kayley, Kailey, and Kaylee. This name isn’t as bad as people make it seem…at least, to me…

Sounds very youthful. This name doesn't suit an adult at all. The kid is only gonna be a child for a small portion of her life, so why give her a name like this?

This is my name and I pronounce it as Kay-lee, it always gets mispronounced as Kie-lee
I disagree with it being a childish name, to me, it's a timeless name. Doesn't matter if you're a child, middle-aged or even old.

Not sure of the pronunciation of this name. But I would pronounce it Kie-lee not Kay-lee.

My name has many meanings and people are always picking on me because of it. Take it from me- you should never judge a person by their name or age because that doesn't matter. It is their actions and their heart you must look at.

If you love your daughter you will not name her Kailey. Or any variant of this name. Remember some day your little girl will be middle aged and this name does not age well past 5. This name is low class and trashy.

Do not name your kid Kailey, ever. Don't.

I wish people would realize how silly this name is. It's cutesy and childish beyond belief, and will be quite hard to take seriously in the real world. Imagine a judge Kailey Moore, or a doctor Kailey Davis. I'm not saying you wouldn't trust the person simply because of their name, but it makes it a lot harder. This name and its never ending variants (another reason not to use it- no one will know how to spell it!) will become extremely dated in years to come. Remember the -arry/-erry trend? Larry, Terri, Keri, etc. Are all pretty dated by now. This name screams 'I was born in the 2000's!' Along with all the equally atrocious -ayden names. If you like the name so much, why not just name your daughter something like Katherine Lee or Kathleen Leah and call her Kaylee as a nickname? At least then she'll have a more classic (and more unique) alternative to fall back on when she's older.

Kailey is a pretty sounding name, but rather childish.

People say that Kailey won't age well, but by the time the Kailey's, Kaylee's, Kayleigh's, Caylee's, etc. are old women, it will be considered an "old lady" name, because so many older people have it. Also, it's just like Hailey, but most people who hate Kailey don't mind Hailey.

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.

I don't really like the spelling of my name though. At school I write it Kaeli instead of Kailey. It is more cool and less cute. Kinda like my style. When I play sports, though, I have to change it back to Kailey. It's not that I am ashamed of the way my name is spelt. I like it but I just like Kaeli better.

My name is Kailey. It is not pronounced like Kay-lee. It is pronounced like Kail-ee. If you could please fix it or make another one, it would make me EXUBERANTLY happy!
