[Opinions] Kellyann
I grew up with a girl named Kellyann (my age: 18), and I've always thought that her name was pretty; I consider it one of my favorite names. I don't know why I like this name so much, but I do; I never hear it around anywhere but on her. I used to do karate with her, and I saw her as a very courageous girl with spitfire, aiming to make the world better. So, it's only left me with good impressions, yet sounding a little dated, which I don't find a bad thing. It's said like the hyphenated name Kelly-Ann, but as only one name. How do you feel about Kellyann, and what would use for a middle name? I'm liking Kellyann Faye, Kellyann Joyce, Kellyann Rhoda, Kellyann Mavis, and Kellyann Bridget.

The automatic association with Kellyanne Conway is so visceral and negative that I can't imagine anything beyond it. Moreover, the name Kelly on a girl definitely had a moment and I think that moment has passed.I did know a Kelliann, rather obliquely once. Didn't have an opinion on her, but I didn't like the name much then, either.

I don't like it, I think it sounds like an 80's mean girl trope.
Not a fan of Kelly in general but I think Kelly-Anne would be better.

I would prefer Kelly-Anne (with or without hyphen).Kelly Anne Bridget or Kelly Anne Mavis are nice.

Hi!I prefer just Kelly. Kellyann has a similar sound to Kalyani कल्याणी a Sanskrit name that I like very much. Kellyann instead is dull. I love your ideas about a middle name! Faye, Mavis, Rhoda and Bridget are great! MNs for Kellyann: With a long, compounded name, I prefer a short name.
