I saw it, and assumed it was "Sel-ly", but it was really "Kelly" - but since his last name started with a C, his parents decided to be cute and spell "Kelly" with a "C".
I wouldn't want to be a guy named Kelly these days...nor would I want to be a guy named Ashley.

Why is it that so many formerly guys-only names are slowly becoming women's names?
