ceilidh

pronounced 'kay-lee' not 'sea-lid' get it right.
it's a girls name, mostly used in scotland or ireland.
If you live somewhere other than those 2 places and you're named this either your parents hate you, your family's heavily scottish/irish, or your parents were trying to be 'unique'.
If you fit any of the above and you are looking to name your child ceilidh please note, your child will be nicknamed 'sea-lid' all her school years and it will not be fun. Trust me.
So go name your kid something better than this, like alex. Thats a nice name, and easy to say.

when a dimwitted sub calls my name in class:
Sub: "um, i dont know how to pronounce this..."
(me already knowing what name shes trying to say from experience)
Me: it's pronounced kaylee.
sub: "is its kaylid? sealidauh?"
me: "no its kaylee."
sub: "thats not how its spelt, are you sure...?"
me: "i think i would know i have had my name for 14 years thank you very much."
