Question Is Kelie a male or female name in UK?

I am writing to someone where its name is Kelie but I do not know if it is male or female.

It sounds female to me though I am not sure.

Any help?

Is that the spelling you have? If so, I would take it as a female.

Are you sure of the spelling? I have heard of Kellie, Kelley and Kelly as feminine first names, but not Kelie, that is not to say that it doesn't exist.

Smile Re: Is Kelie a male or female name in UK?

Yes, the spelling it is correct. It is confirmed by her/his email that I have. She/He is an head hunter and I do not know how to refer in my letter: eg Mr or Ms?

I understand that I have to use Ms.

Anglika, thank you for correcting my post. Could you please explain me how exactly I have to write:

Your:
I am writing to someone where its whose name is Kelie but I do not know if the person is male or female.

I have to write:
...where its whose...
OR
...where whose...

???
