Spelling variations - which is more "traditional"?

[sconeonamission]

i would say maybe Kaylie, though i went to school with a Kayleigh
not much help, lol!

I think Kayley, however, I do like Kayleigh - but that's not an option!
I only pronouced Kailey like Kayley coz there were different variations of it, otherwise, I'd have said Kylie.

i think Kayley looks best.

although if it were me, i'd go Kayleigh or Kaylee

all this Kayley talk sounds funny to me, as i am used to my Kayla! lol

If it's Irish, would it not be Ceili (or Ceilidh)

[Kailani]

Hmm yes now I see there are plenty more spelling variations than I pointed out!

Pandora, I suppose if you were Irish you might prefer to use the original Irish spelling but I personally wouldn't as most people would be constantly asking how to spell it or how to pronounce it! (And I'm part Irish too with a classic "Mc-something" surname )

I think I'd stick with Kayley now that I know it's the original English-translated variation!

Thanks guys

Now my username is a whole other discussion I love the name Kailani - it's Hawaiian and I always thought it was pronounced "Ky-lah-ni" ("Ky" as in rhymes with "my" and the "i" at the end as in the "i" in "igloo") and that others would think the same. Now I think it may be a bit ambiguous too!

i think Kayley is the most traditional, i prefer the spelling Kailey though, looks prettier

[bubbaloo]

I like the original Kayley as it's traditional, and also Kayleigh as I think it looks prettiest!

I went to school with a Caley and a Kaylie, and now work with a Kaylee. Of the three, I much preferred Kaylie - although it was short for Kaylicia, so perhaps not the traditional approach you're after!
