Thanks all and thanks Sarah for clearing it up - I too prefer the original traditional spelling of names.

I don't know of anyone with the name and yes Jas, I thought it was a bit too uncommon and modern to have a traditional spelling - I don't usually like modern names, I prefer old traditional names.

This name came to me in a dream recently - I was pregnant and had a girl and called her Kayley (or however you want to spell it!) and I had never even considered the name before IRL or knew anyone of the name so thought it was strange. Then I saw 1stTimeMumma88's thread a day or so later and she mentioned the name too (don't worry, I'm not name-stealing - I'm not even preg!) and I thought oooh it really is lovely!

I don't know if dreams mean anything...I had a similar dream a couple of years ago and the name "Odessa" was in it and stuck in my head when I awoke...but I really don't like that name!

Thanks for the replies
