Considering it is a girls name. I would never give a boy the name Kelly. Maybe the name Kaleb but not Kelly.

I've known three guys named Kelly. It didn't seem that out of the ordinary to me.

Kelly is NOT a girls name!!!
If it is then Jordan is a boys name & there are girls named that. I can understand not naming a boy Robin, Tracy or Kim, but there is nothing wrong with naming a boy Kelly.....

Its a unisex name. Some people name their boys Shelly. Its just something they do. I know a couple of guys named Kelly. Its ok. I wouldnt name my son that, because yeah it reminds me of a girl name, but it is for both.

Kelly is NOT solely a girls name. Kelly is an Irish name and is used for boys as well as girls. Just because YOU wouldn't use it for a boy child of your's doesn't make it solely a girls name...learn the origins of a name before you make claims that aren't true.

The name may be a girls name, but Artemis is a girl's name and there are a fair number of guys that have that name (not considering the book). There's also guys with the name Leslie. I don't think it's your right to judge what the parents want to name their kid. Just think what other's would say about the name you'd give your child.

Kelly started out being a boys name, as did names like Ashley, Leslie, Loren, Andy, Jody, Billie,Jesse, and Tracy.
So Kelly is a boy's name that US parents have adapted to be a girls name. Please learn your facts.
