    I think Kailey looks more traditional out of the three.

    Kaylie looks like Kylie with a typo!

    I like Kailey. A friend spells their daughters name Cailey which I quite like as well.

    I think Kailey looks the most traditional I do like Kaylie too. I think because it is not the most common name people will sometimes get it wrong and might ask how to spell it no matter what way you spell it. Maybe it's not common enough to have a traditional way of spelling it? iykwim? It is a gorgeous name

    I'd pronounce Kailey as Kylie because of the 'ai' (hence i spell Haley not Hailey -same reason)

    I also went to school with a Kayleigh.

    I like Kayley out of those options.

    For me the L after tha AI changes the sound of the vowel. Like in hail. If I saw Kai as a name I'd pronounce it Kye but if I saw Kail, I'd pronounce it like you do hail.

    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
