Cousin with an unusual name

[charuby.livejournal.com]

I have a cousin who is 22 years old and called Kerrylee. It is pronounced like kerry-lee. Her mum is called Lee and it's basically the name Kerry with her mum's name placed at the end of it. The name suits her down to the ground and I'm fond of it, but I think that's because I'm biased and names grow on you, I guess. I'm wondering what other people think of it.

One of my best friends growing up was named KaraLee, so it doesn't seem strange to me at all. Strange, she's 23 now...maybe it was a end-of-the-80s thing?

It has a country feel to it to me.

I had a student last year with a younger sister named Keraleigh, so basically the same. It may not be common, but it does exist.

Years ago, I knew a little girl called Kerrylynn.
I like the sound of the name, but dislike that it's smashed together.

I've never met a Kerrylee, but I did go to high school with a Keriann and her sister Sherilynn. Also at that school was a Jenilee, and there was a Ruthann at my college.

In general, compound "Lee" names don't age very well, in my opinion.

I have a cousin named Carrylyn (pronounced Carrie-Lynn) who is about 36 and I have the same opinion of it as you do of your cousins name. It suits her and I always liked it when I was younger, so I like Kerrylee because it reminds me of my cousin.
