Hayley?

[LemonnyBenny]

Is it too dated?

Hayley is still sweet in sound and it's not over popular.

[Montsti]

IMO yes it is dated - in the same bracket as Mandy, Lisa, Tracy...70's...

There was a hayley in my class in primary school in the 90s, she was a lovely girl.

Most of the hayleys I know now are around the same age as me (mid 20s) so I don't think it's too dated.

It is a very pretty name though imo.

[SuperBeagle]

Yes, it's dated.

Plus, I can't stand it. My life in high school was made a living hell by a fucking miserable git cow person named Hayley.

I don't think it's dated: it is still quite a popular name in the US with the spelling Haillie.

[Abetes]

It's nice but the pp was right - it's very much in the Karen, Lisa, Julie mode.

[FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite]

I'm sure there are many lovely Hayleys. But the only Hayleys I've ever met weren't...
And it's really dated imo.

This is my name, although spelt differently. It does have a certain class connotation tbh. I don't know about dated - it is here but still popular in America I think so that may fade, as may the class association. On the bright side if you use it now your daughter won't spend her life faking a laugh at shit jokes about comets...
