The word "Kellea" can be spelled with a "k" instead of a "c" due to its origins in a language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet. The "k" and "c" sounds are interchangeable in this language, so the spelling variation is acceptable. In phonetic transcription, "Kellea" would be pronounced /ke-lay-uh/. The first syllable "kel" is pronounced like "kell" and the second syllable "lea" is pronounced like "lay-uh".
