I was about to say, isn't Kelly Slater a guy? LOL!!!
I think it would take a little getting used to but I don't see why not.
In Irish origins Kelly means brave warrior - very fitting for a strong boys names

I think its a lovely name for a boy, but you should dfinately expect some confusion about his sex i reckon

Its a great name. I love uni sex names myself! All the best!

just wanted to let you know, not that it probably makes any difference, but i don't think that kelly is kelly slater's real name.
dh reckons his name is actually robert and that kelly started as a nickname?
idk? but just thought i'd put it out there.
i like the name though, always have.

Your DH is right Rainforest... His middle name is actually Kelly. I did a bit of research and it seems that Kelly was a popular boys name (and started out as a boys name first of all) in the 60's and 70's..... 1860's and 70's!! LOL!! Actually it came back into populartity in the 1970's as well.. But what the hey.. I am gonna go with Kimbaz theory.. "If you like it.. Use it!!". Hopefully he will love his name and as LoriRae said it helps build character!!

Thanks again to all of you!!

I think it's a great name for a boy. It's masculine enough so that he won't be teased.
Go for it.
