  1. Thats pretty cool actually

    and kids don't get beat up in highschool anymore  


  2. DEFINATELY A GIRLS NAME ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Keeley is a girl in the UK with very large b*****s... It's a girls name.

    Oh and to the person who said the days of old names like John and Henry are gone-I beg to differ! I have a son called John and my husband is Henry. Some people like traditional names you know LOL!

  4. it sound girly. actually it doesn't even sound like a human name. it sounds like something i would name a baby kitten!

  5. I personally don't like the name but if you want it to be a surfer boy then call him Kelly, after this man

    Kelly Slater, My hometown hero.

  6. No, sir.  I don't like it.

  7. Keely is too feminine.

  8. hate it.  give a boy a name that sounds like a boy's name.

  9. It's different... I have known many a Keely, but they are girls... But I think it would work!

  10. Even though it IS classically a boy's name, it reminds me more of a girl's name. I had a friend in high school named Keely, so maybe that's why? I like Keel or Kiel, which seems like a more masculine version...I think if you like it, you should go for it! It may not be everyone's style, but as long as it's yours, that's all that matters!

    Just a suggestion...How about Brody? That reminds me of a handsome surfer guy, too!

    The name Keely comes from the Irish origin. In Irish The meaning of the name Keely is: Handsome.

  11. keely is a girls name and sounds very feminine. not to be offensive and i'm sorry but is sounds like a g*y guys nick name!

    please don't do that to that poor kid..thanks and hope it helps  

  12. i think keely is a girl's name. it reminds me of the girl who plays aqua on the cheetah girls

  13. i dont think its a name at all,sorry!

    it looks like a made up,ghetto name for a little girl and not even a good one at that!

  14. it's kinda g*y.

  15. thats not a guud name for a boy considering im a gurl and my name is KEELY

  16. The boy's and girl's name Keely is of Irish origin. Variant of Kelly, meaning "strife, war". For example:  Actress Keeley Shaye Smith.

    It's primarily a girls name and a boys surname but hey, it's your baby so name the him what you want.

    The days of boy names like "John" or "Henry" are gone.  

    Everybody wants to be different.

  17. Well, my girl cousin's name is Kiele. It's pronounced the same way, and it's Hawaiian for Gardenia. So it's a pretty girly name. I also know a girl named Keely. She's crazy and does a lot of drugs so I'm kinda biased on this one. I think you can name your kid whatever you want. You should just think about a teen or an adult with that name. It might be different once he's older.

  18. Keely.. hmm, to me it kind of sounds like a vegetable. Perhaps I am pronouncing it wrong though. Key-lee? If it is something like that then I am not sure that would be a suitable name. At best it sounds more like a name for a Girl. I say though, if you like it.. GO FOR IT! :) Best of luck!

  19. Personally, I think it's extremely feminine, even for a girl!

  20. Keely is a girls name I think. I know a girl named that anyway.  

  21. I wouldn't recommend it.  Keely is an increasingly popular name for girls. (ranked #731 among American girls in 2007.)  It would be a shame for your boy if Keely becomes widely known as girl's name.

  22. I have to be against Keely, too.  That's what my mom calls the keel of the boat.  "Go put the anchor on the keely."  It's just not working for me.

  23. "Keely" should not be a name for any human. It gives the word "tacky" a entirely new definition.

    EMT

  24. Its a girl's name. Look up Keely Smith.

  25. Um. In my opinion Keely is a girl's name. But you could name him Kris or something that resembles Keely.

  26. keely is extremely "MANLY" for a boy.  

  27. actually it does remind me of a surfer.But one that would live in hawaii.

  28. It reminds me of Keeley Shaye Smith, the famous actress.

  29. Isn't Keely the name of a famous topless model for Page 3 in The Sun (UK newspaper.)?

    I think it is a little feminine.

    I like Kyle though. That's similar?

  30. definite NO

  31. Don't like it. Give your boy a dignified name that he will like when he is a man, not some cutsey name that you like.
