What do you think of Keeley as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Put on your hard hate, MN seems to have an irrational distaste of 'K' names.

Keeley is not so bad, I wouldn't choose it, but have no strong opinions on it

Thanks Lionstar, I know what you mean and to be honest, I don't go a bundle on then either, but this is my middle name. I always hated it but always got a lovely reaction to the name and have now come to like it.

Also our surname is similar sounding to Hawes as in Keeley Hawes.

It's not to my taste (I'm one of those with an irrational dislike of K names ), but it's a nice reason for choosing a name.

The Keeley I know has sisters named Keziah & Yasmin.
I personally like Keziah best of those 3. .

I don't like it but only because there was a Keeley in the year above me at school who was a right cow

Oh dear no. And I have no general objections to K names.

Now you see, I'm very anti-K names, but I quite like Keeley! (I think because it looks like Keeley is its correct spelling and not someone trying to be clever and "unique")

Dont like it at all. Makes me think - Keel - Keel over - drunk.

IngridFletcher · 21/04/2010 14:35

I don't like it because it is a lot like my name which I don't like particularly.

I think it may be having a resurgance though as I know a toddler Keeley.

Reminds me of Keele College.
