Why are y'all hating on a good name? This is the original spelling actually. The Leigh part doesn't make it masculine. And it should be pronounced like Ky leg.

I agree with everyone else. I don't like names ending with -lie or -ley replaced by -leigh suffix, so my suggestion is to use the original spelling, Kylie.
My name is Kyleigh and honestly I like it quite well, my father's middle name is Kyle so I got Kyleigh. Kylie is way tooo boring and overused and Kyleigh is just a better unique way of spelling it. It definitely stands out which can be a blessing and a curse.
My best friend is named Kyleigh. Her mother combined a beloved "Leigh" from her family with a name she liked. I think it's an amazing name and fits her well.
I think the spelling of this name is atrocious. I hate -leigh ending names (Kimberleigh, Ashleigh, Nataleigh, etc.), and I find them to be horribly tacky. Kylie is a cutesy name that's not really to my taste, but it's better than Kyleigh.
New Jersey's unpopular "Kyleigh's Law", effective March 2010, was named for a girl of this name who died in a car accident. The law required drivers under 18 to place an orange sticker on their license plates to be more easily identifiable by police. Teens pulled over without the sticker would be fined. Many drivers don't comply anyway.

It seems this variant is trying too hard to be different and comes off as a bit silly. It's a simple, though lovely, name and looks better when spelled more simply in my opinion.
