Here's one that you might relate to: Upon receiving a phone call from someone, they start: "Hi, is Brook there?" and I say "yes" and they say, "Can I speak to her?"Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004563031296276096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973177405271965261.post-16951496817198414442012-04-02T13:48:39.585-05:002012-04-02T13:48:39.585-05:00I like that my name helps me screen calls and mail...I like that my name helps me screen calls and mail. If a letter is addressed to Mrs. Kelly ***** or Ms. Kelly ***** *plunk* right in the trash. If somebody calls and asks for Ms. Kelly ***** I just hang up. Although it's a bugger when I show up for a job interview and they CLEARLY thought my online resume was from a female. So we politely go thru the entire process knowing full well I will not be hired.DesertFrosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01635601296988140275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973177405271965261.post-67463152650114286522010-10-31T19:53:10.802-05:002010-10-31T19:53:10.802-05:00First Anonymous: I agree with you about girls ofte...First Anonymous: I agree with you about girls often liking my name!

Even among the male population, I have received more positive than negative comments (most of the ones that are "bad" are merely those who haven't heard of male Kellys before and don't know the name can work both ways).Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422091619504878141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973177405271965261.post-13931759289462622502010-10-31T18:04:19.132-05:002010-10-31T18:04:19.132-05:00I'm another male Kelly!

I do get some confusion now and then (in fact I have an e-mail folder where I keep mis-titled e-mails that I get) but overall I like my name and I've not had the teasing (other than one classmate who teased anyone for whatever reason) that so many people claim happens to boys who have unisex names. I think that Kelly is a great name for a boy, and kuddos to any parents that want to use it for their sons!
