    Help with spelling for girls name...

    I'm nearly at week 39 and have finally decided on a girls name (we've had an abundance of boys names but couldn't agree on a girls), but now we don't know how to spell it.
    Can I have suggestions for which way everyone likes?

    Keiley
    Keeley
    Keirly
    Kierly
    or another way?

    Thanks
    Kerrie.

    Hi - a collegue of my DH's spelt her DD's name Keeley.

    IMO the spelling with the 'r' produces the wrong sound when saying the name - kind of like saying it with an american accent.

    The spelling 'Keiley' may end up getting pronounced 'Kylie'.

    So I think Keeley is the best spelling.

    I'd do Keeley, I think that's the most common way to spell that name.

    I LOVE this name! I wanted to call DD2 that, but DH wouldn't agree.
    I was going to spell it Keely
    Keely Jade

    There is a gorgeous little girl in my class called Keely (that is how she spells it). I think it is a gorgeous name.
    If not that way of spelling it I would say I like Keeley.

    Very unique and beautiful!

    I like Keirly - it sounds to me like someone saying it with a scottish or irish accent. lol

    Thanks for your help everyone. I agree that Keeley is the best but hubby was wanting Kierly but we weren't sure how to spell it. After all this, we'll probably end up with a boy...

    I really like Kierly. I'd actually say Kier-lee rather than Kee-lee.
    Its very pretty.
