I think it's just OK. My favorite spellings are Kailey and Kalie.

Not a fan. Regardless of spelling, "ay" and "lee" are very trendy sounds, not to mention the persistent trendiness of K names. The name sounds childish to me, and I feel like an adult Kaley/Caley/Kaylee would be taken less seriously.

I pronounce it KAY-lee. It's an okay name, but it seems on the dull side considering how popular Kaylee/Kaylie/Kayleigh, etc. and similar names like Kaylin/Kaylen, etc. and Hayley/Haley/Hailey, etc. are. I think it will eventually seem pretty dated.

Not one of my personal favorites, but not terrible. It might be slightly 'tainted' by the Caylee Anthony case, though.

I don't like any form of KAY-lee! It brings back bad memories.

Blechhhh. No offense, just NMS at all.

I agree that Kaley doesn't look "trendy" at all. I like the sound of Kaylee, but Kaley is the only spelling I like, since it looks like its own name, and not a combination of two others.

I like Kaley spelled either Kaley, Kailey, or Kaylee. I know Kaylee looks trendy but it is the original of Kaley. I don't like it with a C. I pronounce it KAY-lee.

I pronounce it K-ally, and really wouldn't automatically go to Kaylee.

It's okay but i'm a little anti K names unless their timeless classics like Katherine

for Kay-lee i'd go for Kayley

I pronounce it KAY lee and my favorite spelling is Kaylie (ETA: or Kailey). It is actually one of my guilty pleasure names as I am not usually a fan of trendy made up names. However it has such a sweet sunny happy sound, I just really like it.
I agree with you though that Kaley looks less trendy, and it is similar to Haley.

I'm not a big fan, too trendy... but this is currently my sis-in-law's top choice for their new coming baby, so.. *shrug* They plan to spell it Kayleigh.

Because we have good friends with this surname, I'm too biased. All I can say is that I like it better than Kale, which isn't really a whole bunch. I do like the names Kate and Kay, though, which are both similar.

I'm not a fan. I think what little positive feeling I had for this name--in any spelling--is gone forever because of poor little Caylee Anthony.

I'd pronounce Kaley as KAY-lee, like you. I really don't have a favorite spelling, but I do have a few positive associations with Kaylee, so it's the spelling I'd use if I had to. Between Kaley and Caley, I prefer Caley; Kaley is too close to the vegetable for me.

I agree that Kaley/Caley is cleaner-looking than the other variations, but I don't find it prettier or less trendy than Kaylee, Kailey, Caylee, Kaeli, Kaleigh, and all the rest.

Not really a fan of this name and all its variations, but Kaley/Caley is in my opinion the best spelling. Not too long with unnecessary letters, easy to read.
