"My name is Kelsey and growing up I never really liked my name, but there weren?t a lot of other Kelsey?s around so I felt unique. As I grew up I met more people with my name and it bothered me, but overall I like my name. Sometimes I wish it was spelled Kelsie!" Feb. 18, 2020:

"Not a bad name (it's my name), I like it, it's cute, but to me it doesn't age well. I mean, it may be cute for a five year old, or a fifteen year old, but once they get older, it may not be as nice sounding. Of course, I don't know anyone in their 40s or 50s named Kelsey so, I wouldn't know. But, I do love the name I just don't know that it ages well." Jul. 7, 2014: 
"My name is kelsey and I like it becuse its a uniqe name." May. 2, 2014:

"My name is Kelsie and I have a best friend named Kelsey! we don't get mixed up much because we hang out with different people." Jul. 1, 2010: 
"My name is K-e-l-c-e-y and as a kid it really irked me that everyone spelled it with an s, but now that I'm 23 I realize my mama spelled my name wrong (it's the Norwegian spelling vs. the traditional Irish spelling). In the 80's the name was unheard of but in the 90's it got very popular. I get compliments for my name/the spelling all the time. My only complaint about my name is southern people usually pronounce the name as "Kelt-zee." That t'aint my name! Oh and p.s. in my generation there were a bunch of Amber's but I never met another Kelsey until college." Sep. 10, 2009:

"i always liked my name and there's like no one who has my name at my school" Sep. 21, 2007: 
"My name is Kelsey. I was born in '84 and growing up I didn't like my name. I was the only one who had it, but at the same time it was kinda good because at gymnastics meets all I had to hear was my first name and I knew that it would most likely be me. In college I was given the nickname Kelso due to a popular tv show. My name fits me and I like it now that I am older." Jun. 18, 2007:

"hello,
my name is Kelsey, and its the most gorgeous name on the planet...yeahhh boiiii" May. 6, 2006: 
"The name Kelsey has never been one of my favorites, even though it is my actual name. It's a bit weird, yes, but unique like any other name. It isn't used often and I've only come across two different people with the same name as me but they spelled it different. (Either with an 'i' at the end or 'ie', never a 'y') Either way, the name fits me and I would rather settle with this one than any other." Jul. 21, 2005:
