Kaylee is a thoroughly American creation, assembled sometime in the late twentieth century from the sounds of Kay and Lee, or perhaps as a respelled Kayleigh, the Marillion song that charted in 1985. Either way it arrived on the scene in the 1990s and climbed fast, peaking inside the top 30 in the 2000s. It has cooled slightly since but still sits comfortably in the top 250. Two syllables, bright and uncomplicated, with that long final E that so many modern girls' names share. A name with pep and no pretension, built entirely for its sound.
