Kailie Grace

Kailee Grace

Are these both being pronounced the same? (Kay-Lee?) That is what I am assuming. I voted for Kailee Grace...the first spelling was hard to read/spell. I really like that name, and especially the middle name!

i LOVE kailee grace.

it sounds so sweet. like a baby girl should be.

It's funny because my parents and my aunt keep pronouncing it this way. I don't really know how to write down the pronunciation but the Kai part sounds like Eye with a K and then Lee. Make sense? Lol! Thanks for voting!

I know several Kaylee, Kylee and and lots of variation - and also Mykalas.....I've heard of the name Kalani - I think there was a Miss America with that name? It's more obscure - but not weird...I think it's very pretty - so that's the one I voted for!

My DD has a Kylie on her bus and it is spelled like I just typed. The way you spelled commonly gets pronounced Kay-lee rather than KI-lee

I voted for Kalanie, although I do like the name Kailee too.

Becky - You're killing me lately...I didn't read your post and went and voted and was thinking to myself Kalani sounds really pretty, I like that one...I know many girls with the other names...


Are you sharing my brain lately? Maybe that would explain my forgetfulness... :blushing:

Maybe spell it Kiley which rhymes with Miley?

A friend of mine has a little boy named Kai (K-eye), in Hawaiian it means sea. It's a very pretty name.

When you combined "Kai" with "lee" I automatically pronounced it "Kay-lee", I think the "a" tricks me. I could also hear someone pronouncing it "Kah-lee" - like Kathy. Maybe spelling it Kylie (like Kylie Minogue), Kylee, or even Kyleigh would have people saying it right.

My favorite is Kailee Grace. If the doctors got it wrong and you have a boy you could still use the name Kai.

We named our 3 month old Kimberly Anne, but Grace and Carly were options.

We've decided on Kai as the beginning because it's Hawaiian and pronounced like Eye but with a K. It means Ocean. Although we live in San Antonio now, my Dh and I were both raised on Guam so having an island influenced name is neat to us. Kalani is also Hawaiian. We also like Kailani.

Thanks for the votes so far!!

Lol-we were writing at the same time. My friend had a baby girl (Madison Noelani) in December but if it was a boy it would have been Kai. Her DH is part Hawaiian.

I voted for Kailie but Kailee is cute too!

My mom wanted me to name my daughter Kaiya, Kailani because her name is Lonnie and she wanted a granduaghter with part of her name in it. lol

I voted for Mikayla, but my second choice would be Kailani... especially now that you said DH has Hawaiian ancestery.

 

[KellyTheChef]

I just remembered that I used to work with a Kai...he was super smart and drop dead gorgous! (I do believe he went on to become a doctor!)

I like the way you are pronouncing it even better than the way I was thinking...

My forgetfulness is well known and documented in my family...also my inability to find things that are right in front of me....

 

[katie0128]

You sound like my 4yo... I told him to help pick up toys in the family room the other night. I usually don't care how many toys are on the floor until it gest to the point that I have to literally clear a path to get to the couch or my desk. He stood in the room full of toys and said, "What mess?"

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I vote for Kylie spelled like that ... but since that's not one of the options, I also like Kalani. The Kailee or Kailie will surely be mis-pronounced by everybody, including her teachers!

 

[OhmyDLM]

I voted for Kalani, SO PRETTY! I know one to many of the other names and by now you know I like different names, so Kalani it is for me
