Having a dispute with my parnter, seen the name Hadley quite unusual, girls name on one site and boys name on another... What do you prefer it as?

Errol beat me to it. Not one of the nicest areas either

I would say it's like Taylor, in that it could be used for either. I wouldn't assume either if I heard somebody say the name out loud.

I know it's used in America quite a bit for girls, never heard it on a boy.

Hadley is a female character in True Blood, I've not heard the name before or since.

Neither, its an area of Telford. Or if you spell it Hadleigh, a nice town in Suffolk.

Girl, I only know Hadley Freeman with that name.

PipkinsPal · 15/10/2013 17:45

Neither, it's a surname.

I'd say girl, wasn't it Hemmingways wife's name?

It's awful though.

MissPlumBroughtALadder · 15/10/2013 17:41

Definitely girl.
