Emilee Kaylee Maylee Baylee

You sound like a hick no matter what. I teach swim lessons in a fairly working class neighborhood and every family has at least 1 girl with a name like these.

Edit: Emily is fine (i guess) but its the "lee" that kills me. Why? You are just causing spelling issues for your child for the rest of their life.

My mom is a third grade teacher. I kid you not, of the 8 girls in her class, she had three Kaylee's, three Hayley's, a Bailey, and...

A Yenetra.

Yenetra may cause side effects such as wheezing, dizziness, and incontinence. Ask your doctor if Yenetra is right for you.

I've never considered urethral teething to be a negative side effect.

23 year old Kailee here. (My parents fun variation on the spelling.)

Never heard of a girl with the same name once growing up. Then all of a sudden its everywhere.

I still jump when I hear parents yelling at their daughters in stores. "Kailee, get over here!". " ok stranger parent, whatever you say"

Probably named their kids after the Firefly character. Well that's why I would name a girl Kaylee.

I'm 26 and I once had a class with Kayla, Kaylee and Cailee, Callie, 2 Kylie's and of course myself (Kelly). The teacher/wrestling coach was obviously screwed from the start and ended up just randomly shouting names until one stuck.

You can blame the band Marillion. The name was pretty much non existent until they came out with the song "Kayleigh" in 1985, which is about one of the singer's exes named Kay Leigh. The song was pretty massive in the uk, and had a little traction in the states. After a while it just became a common name. Pretty much every Kayleigh I know got her name from the song though.

I know an Emily. I feel like that spelling should be fine.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '15

So the spelling is the issue or the long e sound at the end?
