We like the name Kailie but are unsure if it will be pronounced correctly. How would you pronounce it?

My reactions, in order:
1) Is that Callie with a K?
2) Oh, that must be like Kaylee.
3) Or could it be like Kylie?
I would probably say Kaylee.
It is pronounced KAY-lee... sometimes mashed together like KAYL-ee (only a slight difference). I would strongly recommend not using the name for 3 reasons:
1) There are multiple different spellings and it will be getting constantly misspelled: Kaylea, Kailie, Kaylie, Kailea, Caylie, Cailie, Cailea.
2) It is very cutesy and doesn't age well at all- (Can you picture anyone over age 10 named this???)
3) It is part of a huge trend and will date your daughter to these couple of years (think Lynn, Nicole, Stephanie, etc.) There are so many similar names in the trend- Kayla, Kiley, Kyla, Kyra, Bailey, Shailey, Railey, Ailey, etc. They all kind of run together and become boring.
As another option, how about Aila nn Ailey. Or even Abigail nn Aila/Ailey. I think that has a much more mature sound and doesn't seem so trendy.

Thought of another similar option for you... Calista, Calla, or Calliope nn Callie ("CALL-ee")

So I would say "Kii- lee".
But since many of the pp disagree, I guess that answers your question that people will pronounce it different ways.
