My second son of three has this name and he happens to be the most stubborn and willful of my boys. However he's brilliant and extremely humorous in crouds. A "Class Clown" as they say.
My oldest daughter is named this. Beautiful name for a girl; only problem is with all the Kaylees and Kylees running around, a lot of people mis-pronounce her name as one of these instead. Still, she loves her name!
