Keely Hutton: My name is Keely Hutton. I was named Keely because my parents wanted to give me an Irish name to represent my Irish heritage. Initially, my name was going to be Regan, but I was born in 1972, which was the year The Exorcist came out. My mother had read the book and the main character who gets possessed was named Regan and she said she could not name her child Regan after that. So she found the name Keely in an Irish name book and decided to give me that instead, which I'm very, very happy she did.
