Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kayley

Caleigh, Caylee, Kailee, Kaleigh, Kaylee, Kayleigh, Kaylie and Kayley. It’s like Hayley and Bayley. 2009 called. They want their names back. Seriously, some of the most overplayed names on our list – and the manic respellings leave us nothing short of breathless. Fortunately the past couple of years have shown backwards momentum in usage for these once trendy names. Don’t get us wrong. They still do quite well. But we are [yawn] bored of them. Even though there’s really nothing wrong with them, and we agree they’re definitely cute(sy). What was once imaginative (Kayla, Kylie, Kaylee, Kallie, Kaelyn, Katelyn) have unfortunately become rather ho-hum due to overuse.
