Love this name but not sure how it should be spelt. What are your thoughts?

Pronounced how?

Hallie I would say ' hall-y'

people might pronounce Halle, as Hale (as in stone?)

can't even tell whether this is for a boy or girl - are you thinking Halle[can't do acute accent on my laptop keyboard] orchestra here? Sounds made-up to me.

Sorry should have given more information. It's for a girl. I don't think that it is made up since there is the actress Halle Berry but it is good to have that feedback.

I like it!
I'm not sure which way I'd spell it though - I like Halle but wonder if Hallie would make it easier for people to know how to pronounce it. Can it be spelt Hally?

Ooo yes....weren't the girls in Parent Trap called Hallie and Annie?

Halle Berry was named after a Department Store so it is made up but having said that there is a Halle at DS2's nursery school so it seems to have caught on already

I'll do that ramonaquimby

I loved Hayley Mills films when I was little. I think Cast Away was my fave!

I know a turkish girl called Hale - pronounced more Hallay- so I think it is a real name as well.
