Ceilidh versus Cailey?
They're both pronounced the same. Ceilidh is the Gaelic spelling that sounds the same as Kaylee does. The only other spelling of Kaylee I care for could be Cailey, but I'm also very fond of Ceilidh. I get how tacky/trendy this name is already, but what're your thoughts of Ceilidh?

If you live in Ireland, then Ceilidh isn't going to be a problem. But if you're in America, most Americans aren't going to know how to pronounce the name because it doesn't look like a Kaylee pronunciation. They're more likely to pronounce it "sea-lid." So it makes more sense to spell the name Cailey (a cute spelling) or Kaylee.

I prefer Cailey, or else the more common spelling, Kaylee.
I have a name (last name, in my case) that people either spell wrong and pronounce right, or spell right and pronounce wrong. A lifetime of having to explain how it's spelled and how it's pronounced gets very, very old. You'd be doing your daughter a favor to keep it simple. I'm speaking from experience.

My parents are Irish but we live in Australia, so you can imagine the problems people have with my name. Introducing myself can be the most frustrating thing in the world and when I was younger I hated my name, but despite the occasional problems I now quite like it. Personally, I think it'll be easier for you and your daughter to stick to Cailey, but it's your choice.

Where I live no one would know how to pronounce Ceilidh. But if where you live, everyone does, go with it

If you live in Ireland it is one thing, but if you child is going to be raise in the USA, please don't use a Gaelic spelling. Your child's name will be both mispronounced and misspelled everywhere for their entire live: schools, sports, legal documents, doctor's records. I know it is cool, but it causes all kinds of unintended problems.
