people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

I grew up believing my parents were playing some kind of sick joke on me, naming me Katie Kelly. I mean, it may sound cute now, but that’s only after years of evolving my character and not to mention therapy.

One time, when I was hanging out at Togo’s - because that is, for whatever reason, what we all did in high school (as well as the Butter Cup Pantry, but that was on Friday and Saturday nights) - this classmate of mine who worked there said, “Katie Kelly, what’s your last name?”

I stood there in silence, trying to make sure I understood his question correctly.

“Uh. Kelly?”

“Your name is Katie Kelly Kelly?”

I’m going to introduce you to three or four other Katie Kellys now who all have websites and blogs of their own. I am doing this so that you do not confuse us with each other if you were to meet us all one day, because, as I am sure if you were to ask any of us, we would tell you that there is no imitation!

  • Superchick.com. Out of all the Katie Kellys, this one is my favorite because I have known of her the longest and also due to her ecclectic interests. Alas, she has not updated her website in eons, but this can be forgiven because something tells me she is off doing very interesting things. I wonder if she still likes galaxies. Katie Kelly says:

My name is Katie Kelly. I live in Powell River, on the west coast of Canada. Take out an atlas and look me up. See that little line showing the seperation between BC and the Pacific Ocean? That line is where I live. One of the most beautiful places I know.

“I like galaxies!” -me in May of 1999

  • KatieKelly.com. FYI,  Katie Kelly is playing at Kelly’s Pub & Eatery this December 23, 2005. Katie Kelly has not updated this site once in all this time and I think it’s about time she give this domain over to someone who might actually use it.
  • KatieKelly.blogspot.com. Katie Kelly paints, cuts hair and loves pro bono. She also claims to have been abducted by a family of turtles in March of 2006. Katie Kelly, if you ever read this, can you please explain?

Well, that’s about it with all the Katie Kellys who are doing anything interesting. There’s one more blogging Katie Kelly, KatieKelly.typepad.com. She’s off to a good start I’d say, but she hasn’t updated her blog since September of 2004. She’s not pulling her weight.

Sorry- I have no website - just another Katie Kelly, but i got mine by marriage. While you may not like the name, it beat my maiden name of Gruenenfelder! But I have had people ask me what my last name is too. And many people try to call me Kelly, or feel they must ask which is my REAL name. I must be pretty weird googling myself, but I enjoyed your site/comments. !

Katie Kelly, I think you’re normal Googling yourself. How do you think I found all those other Katie Kellys?

I too am Katie Kelly . . . although I do not have a blog, I would say I am another KK doing something interesting!! You may have thought your parents played a cruel joke on you, but think of my poor cousin, Kelly Kelly . . . now that’s just not right!

Katie Kelly, I’ve never met a Katie Kelly who DOESN’T do interesting things.

Your cousin’s birth name was Kelly Kelly? Well, it does have a nice ring to it, I guess.

How many others of you Katie Kelly’s have been asked if your middle name starts with a K? Come on, our parents like cute names, that doesn’t mean they’re part of the clan! I have to admit, i am sad my name isn’t special, but look at all the cool people i get to share it with!

I HAVE been asked that before. It’s always followed by nervous laughter, AS IF it’s actually funny. Har har har. My middle name is Ann, but used only when following Katherine (my birth name) which sounds way too grown-up for my tastes.

Katie Kelly, your name IS special!

I’m diggin’ all these comments to my blog. It looks like I’m having a conversation with myself!

Wow! It’s me–Katie Kelly–checking in.

I was asked what my last name was in high school as well–my teammate thought my name was like Marianne.

Glad to hear that the other Katie Kellys are interesting folks too!

Hey - how goes it with all the other Katie Kellys. My full name is also Katherine Ann Kelly.
yep - i’ve gotten the “does your middle name start with a K?” before.
and half the people i meet call me Kelly instead of Katie. - i tend to not even correct them anymore.
i’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Maine, California, New Jersey, Minnesota and i’ve visited France.
i’m vegan
i’m buddhist
i’m american
goin to college to be a marine biologist
uhhh yeah that’s about it

Hi its just one more Katie Kelly in the world. I live in Michigan. I also do hair, paint and bartend. My full name is Katie Anne Kelly random huh?

Amusing. But you can all also be proud to share the KK heritage with Karol Karol and with his maker. Karol is a character (alterego?) in Krysztof Kieslowski’s Blanc.

(Sorry for being the first non-KK to pollute this list of comments :)

I admit that when I heard the name Karol Karol on your podcast, I thought, “Wow. And I thought I had it bad.” But if this is Keslowski’s alterego, then his own name cannot go without mention. We can make one exception for Krysztof Kieslowski, our Polish brother. I mean, just say his name outloud. He’s been there. May he rest in peace.

I am also another Katie Kelly. I too have gotten the” does your middle name start with a k”. kinda annoying.

how many of you are red heads?

Hey!

wow this is amazing.
i knew that there were people in the world
with the same name as me.

but it’s crazy that there’s a site on it.

my name is also Katie Kelly.
well at least that is what i go by.

My full name is Kathleen McKinley Kelly

which i think sounds way to formal.
so ever since i’ve been little people call me
Katie Kelly

& i’ve had some of the same problems as you all
like people asking me what my last name is
& if my middle name starts with a K

i can deff. relate

There are 3,593 people in the U.S. named Peter Brown.

Many people that I have met, have informed me I am not the first Katie Kelly that they have met…. and now i see why!
My full name is Kathryn Emily Kelly….

and everything that has happened to you guys above…. has also all happened to me. Rarely do people call me Katie… its always Katie Kelly.

i live in donegal in ireland…. i know that there is also another katie kelly in letterkenny in the north of donegal… i woz not bore katie i woz born Katherine… but i feel the name is too mature for me, i agree in full with all the comments left, numerous people have asked me does my middle name begin with a ‘k’, is my name katie kelly kelly… and above coment, NOONE calls me katie… its always katie kelly, which i find very fustrating,
i have pity for the girl called kelly kelly…(”,)

I’m actually trying to get ahold of a Katie Kelly in Michigan and I think she mmight have posted on here. If you read this, KK, I’d love to reconnect and see how you’ve been!

Another Katie Kelly here! Although even worse, my middle name is Olivia, which gives me rather unfortunate initials. Not as bad as having a K middle name but still.

I second the above complaints that no one can ever just call us Katies. People seem to really love the ring of the whole thing…it used to bother me but at this point I can’t fight it any more!

I am from Ohio, living in Jersey right now studying to become a bridge designer. And I like cupcakes and football and traveling!

Hi, another Katie Kelly here in Chicago. I am named Katie not Kathryn or Kathleen. My middle name is Anne as well…..does anyone else get people who will actually giggle after you tell them your name. HOW RUDE! I get the “so what’s your last name” all the time. I don’t think I can change my name if I ever get married. Too many people call me by my first and last or KK.

Does anyone say your first and last name together, really quickly? Like KATIEKELlllLY?! My full name is Kathleen Wynne…and to 2quote a Katie Kelly, “yep - i’ve gotten the “does your middle name start with a K?” before.
and half the people i meet call me Kelly instead of Katie. - i tend to not even correct them anymore.”

I’m in high school, I’ve moved 13 times and lived in 8 different states. I enjoy marching band, video games, and shiny things.

Hi! I am Katie Kelly! It’s awesome that there are so many more people out there with my name! Sweet! Holla!

i love my name.

i always get the middle name thing..

im kaitlyn maureen kelly

never just katie. its always katie kelly.

ive found that most katie kellys ive met are really cool =]

hey, yet another Katie Kelly.

I too get called by both 1st and second name. I really like our name, its so catchy, people don’t forget it! None of us would ever need a stage name… unless two of us got famous… hmmm

I’m from Sheffield in England. I currently work as an entertainer on a holiday park. I am also 6ft tall and very blonde, so I stick out like a sore thumb!!xxx

Kelly,

I actually made a men’s necktie for people with the last name “Kelly”. If at all interested, please let me know and I will send you the flyer / picture if ever it comes up as a unique gift you’d enjoy to give.

Be well,

G.J.

ITS A NAME.OBVIOUS
FIRST AND LAST.
NEVER GOT ASKED THAT
DUMB ASS QUESTION WHAT
MY LAST NAME WAS. AND
WHILE YOU ARE COMPLAINING
ABOUT YOUR NAME IM ENJOYING
IT. BEATS SOME LAME ASS ONE
YOU CANT PRONOUNCE.

Well, so I see we have a real Katie Kelly debutante amongst us! Katie Kelly, we are honored to meet your presence. Thank you for gracing this blog post with your charm!

The e-mail address she left is youneedalife@aol.com. I get this feeling that she was trying to be cheeky.

Hey! Im a Katie Kelly too! The good thing about the name is that no one can spell it wrong.. its so easy. But then again the whole “kkk” thing has been brought up with me too.. funny but still …

Yep…another Katie Kelly….
I think its a renounding trend that all of you Katie Kelly’s out there have had that “middle name” question, along with the fact that apprently Kelly is an easier name to remember then Katie…aaaaand no one can ever just call me Katie, its ALWAYS Katie Kelly…. I actaully like my name. Lots of people say I should be famous just because I have a cool name already and it fits a celeb. As I dont know about that one, I will still try on that celeb thing on for size of the oppurtunity comes about! Oh and by the way, Im from Wisconsin.

This is great. I had no idea there were such places like this. I…as well….am Katie Kelly. My name is ACTUALLY Katie…no Kathryn, Kaitlin, Kathleen, etc. I am Katie Elizabeth Kelly. Hmmm, I guess its a worldwide phenomenon…the fact that people tend to remember Kelly before our first name. I rarely ever get just Katie. I get KK, Katie K, Kakes, Special K, KEK, just to name a few nicknames. And of course the occasional inquiry about my middle name starting with a K.

I actually go by Kate now that I am older…tried to make my name sound a LITTLE more adult. Though people still tend to call me Kelly more than anything, and they also get fixated on the fact that I am the girl with three first names.

Ahhh us silly humans. :)

Anyway…glad to know you’re all out there…kind of interesting—the similarities we experience around our name. What an amazing, uniting force amongst strangers.

Peace sisters-

hey im a katie kelly too , only i may be different as im from ireland , so hopefully thats a new one for use lol xxx

Hey there,
I’m Kathleen Patricia Kelly.
Someone once said to me, “if you’re middle name was Katherine, your parents and I could be best friends” Ack!
In elementary school a friend asked me, “Katie Kelly, what’s your last name?” I was 9 and I said bacon.
For some reason a lot of my professors call me Kelly.

Why don’t you email me and we can talk about that domain name.

Wow! So many Katie Kellys. I’m not an actual Katie, my full name is Katherine and I’m a Kelly by marriage. However, I love my name just the same. I’ve had people tell me how much fun it is to say Katie Kelly Katie Kelly….. I also had someone ask me if my last name was Katherine once when I told them my name was Katherine Kelly. I guess Kelly is easier than Katie. I’m used to being called Kelly though. My husband is in the military and they call everybody by their last name, so I usually get called Kelly’s wife or just Kelly.

On a different note I also worked for a company with an HR girl name Kellie Kelly. That was her born name. I felt bad for her.

I’m glad to meet all Katie Kellys

omg my name is katie kelly, and EVERYONE-even my friends- sometimes call me kelly! its sooo annoying! and embarassing! im not that old by the way, but i felt like googleing myself! so anyway, yepp

im Katie Kelly! actually, Kathryn Kelly. Kathryn M Kelly! so many people call me kelly! its sooooo ughhh annoying! i love my name though!
nice 2 meet all these katie kellys!

I’m one too! Everyone always says it “sounds like a super hero name” I happen to love it.

Hope everyone else enjoys it too.

Hey! i had no idea there were so many Katie Kellys. I’m Katie Kelly too, and I love it, nobody ever forgets your name…Although, it is difficult for most people to call me just by my first name, “Katie Kelly” just rolls right off the tounge! :)
