User Comments about the name Caleigh
Comment left Oct 29, 2008: "My baby girl is due January 20th 2009 and we are naming her Cayleigh (pronounced Cay-lee). I love the name! It is so sweet and I sure hope our little one loves her name as much as we do. :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 24, 2008: "Me and my boyfriend named our dog Caleigh. We pronounce it Ca-lee. Every dog he has ever had he named after the city in which in got it. We got her in Raleigh NC and changed the R to a C to make Caleigh. I thought I had created the spelling but I guess not. I love the name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 10, 2008: "We named our daughter Caleigh, pronounced 'Callie' It makes sense to pronounce it that way. Cal...like in California. Not Kay-Lee. Oh well, everyone seems to love her name and I hope that she will love it some day too. It's frustrating some times to always have to correct people, but we love our choice."

Comment left Oct 03, 2008: "My name's Caleigh too! I have never met anyone else with the name Caleigh. I pronounce it "Ca-lee" but everyone says "Cay-lee." It gets very frustrating!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 30, 2008: "My daughter's name is Caleigh (pronounced Caleigh). We went back and forth on spelling it Cali or Caleigh. We lived two years in California and loved the name Callie, but my husband didn't like the two LL's because he thought people may pronounce it collie, like the dog or a telephone call. So we went with one L. some people say "kay-lee" - even some baby books have it pronounced kaylee while others have it under caleigh. If it becomes too confusing, we'll give her a nick spelling of Cali for school, but officially she'll still have the formal beautiful spelling." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 30, 2008: "Hate it with a passion..egh.
I hate the letter "g" and "h" especially.
I sign everything "k-ly".
I also took on a nickname "alvira" that I wish to adopt as my middle name." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 25, 2008: "My daughters name is Caleigh. We pronounce it ca-lee. We made it up during the pregnancy, I was unaware that the name existed or that it had meaning in Irish. It is still a pretty name and fits my little girl to a tee. She is nearly two." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 17, 2008: "My husband and I named our daughter Caleigh. She was born on January 30, 2008. We pronounce it Kaylee. I thought I would call her Cale for short, but don't think I ever will. Caleigh is just so pretty. We found it in a baby name book and fell in love with this spelling. I'm pretty sure that it means "fragrant blossom" but will look it up next chance I get to make sure. We're hoping she will be more of a fragrant blossom than a party girl!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 07, 2008: "our kitten's name is Caleigh! We thought of the name because a caleigh is a celtic dance/music party and we love them! So much energy, just like our kitten!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 22, 2008: "Haha, in response to Caleigh's comment from May 18, I'm also a Caleigh, and after my parents travelled to Scotland and attended various Ceilidh celebrations my mom decided she wanted to call me by that name, and she thought she was making up the spelling as well! I'm also the oldest Caleigh I know with this spelling, and I'm 21! :)
Cheers though, such fantastic and unique name! I would say as I'm sure many of you do too, if Caleigh means 'gathering of the clan' in Gaelic, then the name certainly fits as I am defintely a party girl!
And I get the mispronunciations too, but you take it with a grain of salt: hopefully having to practice pronouncing our names means its ingrained in people's minds a little more clearly :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 18, 2008: "Hi my name is Caleigh. I actually got it because my mom liked katie and haylee. put the together and you have Caleigh. My dad's name is Clinton, so my name started witha C instead of a K. and the Leigh was more original than lee. People always spell it wrong and mispronounce it. but I love it it is so unique and original and different." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 13, 2008: "Hi everyone! My name is Caleigh. My mom seems to think that she invented the way it's spelled, hehe. Well, I am the oldest Caleigh I know, so maybe she's not mistaken. I'm 20 years old." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 08, 2008: "This is my name i prounounce it Kay Lee but teachers say Callie my language arts teachers still does that and it gets annoying! and my old school nurse used to say carly" (Report as inappropriate)
