My father named me when he adopted me at birth. While his name is really easy to rhyme with profanity, he thought that by naming me Chelsea it would be difficult for children to rhyme with anything with meaning.

The Meaning of Me
Chelsea: \ch(el)-sea\ as a girl's name is pronounced CHELL-see. It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Chelsea is "chalk landing place". From "cealc hyo", a place name for a port where chalk shipments were received. 20th-century coinage and place name, in reference to the glamorous district in London and several places in America, the earliest of which, in Maryland, was named in 1739. Possibly linked with British pop culture of the late 1960s and songs like Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning".http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Chelsea
