Is "Kaylee" a Very Popular Name?
| Sat, 04-22-2006 - 11:47pm |
I haven't considered using the name Kaylee before - it just never seemed like my style. I tend to go for more unique or classic names, and I don't consider Kaylee either. However, I'm kind of starting to like it, and my husband actually loves it (we never can agree on names). I'm worried about the popularity of all the "lee" names, though. They seem to be ever so popular (Kylee, Haylee, Bailey, etc.), not to mention that I've seen Kaylee spelled a dozen different ways (Kayleigh, Kaylie, Kailey, Chaeli, etc.). Is this a name that's going to reflect an entire generation of kids with the same trademark sound? What are your thoughts on the name itself?

This name really is very popular, especially when you include all the variant spellings. Plus, it's definitely a part of the Hayley-Bailey-Kylie crowd, which is almost unbearably popular as a group. If you're looking for unusual or distinctive, I think you'll have to look elsewhere.
It's too bad, because I actually like this name. I think it's prettier than Hayley, Bailey, et al. I associate it lately with the mechanic from Firefly (but I'm a geek).
Oh dear lord yes. This is THE trendiest grouping of names for girls of this generation. I'm SO sick of these names. I honestly think it's worse than the Maddy/Madison trendy because it's so prevelent. Check out this previous post for a listing of all the variations currently in the top 1000. Keep in mind there are tons of spellings that are being used that weren't prevelent enough to make it into the top 1000. AND these are last year's numbers -- I'm sure when the new numbers come out next month, a lot of these names will be moving up in ranking. And probably a few more permutations will appear.

My advice is that if you really love Kaylee, use a classic name like Kathleen or Katherine Leigh or Katrina Lee or
I think it's a nice name. I prefer it spelled Kayley. I don't know anyone with this name.
