Is this name too masculine?!?

Question

I am pretty much obsessed with baby names, I am always figuring out names for future children, making lists of names I like, putting names together etc. And one name I have come across that I really like is Kelsey, I know it started out as a boy name so I'm wondering if it would be too masculine to use on a little girl? Opinions?

Answer 1

I think that Kelsey can be both feminine and masculine....if it's for a girl it can be very sweet and cute.  It's not a common boys name either, and so I don't think that would be a problem.  :)

Answer 2

It's a fine name, not my favorite but there's nothing wrong with it for a girl.

Answer 3

I kind of like the name Kelsey.  What you might do is change the spelling of it or something... Kelsie.  I know a girl that was named that from church and it was a pretty name.  I just wouldn't name your daughter Pantera...I know a girl named that too.

Answer 4

No. Definitely not too masculine. Very pretty girl name.  

Answer 5

The only male Kelsey I've ever heard of (I live in the US) is Kelsey Grammar, of "Frasier" fame.  On the other hand, Kelsey falls into that Kaylee/Keeleigh/Kylie/Katelyn trend that is so popular these days.  What's with the K names, I wonder?  

Answer 6

No, I don't think so. I've seen plenty of little girls with that name :) I personally have a version of it- chelsea, lol.

Good luck!  

Answer 7

First I want to applaud you for thinking about how the name you choose for your child will impact her, maybe for the rest of her life, case in point - Pilot Inspektor, actor Jason Lee's sons name. And no Kelsey is not to masculine it is a beautiful name.

Answer 8

I went to school with 3 Kelseys and they were all girls! I think it fits into the catagory of Ashleigh... Many many more females than males!

Answer 9

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

I think I've only ever heard of one male Kelsey... and he's a tv star or something.  All the other Kelsey's I have heard of are female.

Answer 11

i know like 400 Kelsey's and they are all girls so def. not!

Answer 12

I think it's just fine as a girls name.... It's cute!

Answer 13

i dont know anyone with the name kelsey as a boy

Answer 14

No of course not. I don't know a single boy named Kelsey. I do though know lots of girls. And they all really like their name. It's pretty.
