My DH has suggested the name Hadley (middle name will be may no matter what the first name is) for our dd. I wasn't such a fan to begin with but it's really growing on me. My only concerns our a) I thought it was a boys name and b) I'm not sure it goes with our older dd's names (Zoë and Lilian)

What do you think?

Sounds like a boys name to me. How about Hallie?

Love your older girls names.

It's not my cup of tea, it makes me think of radley and Hatley brands.

Harper?

Id heard Hadley as a boys name as well. What about Halle/halleigh as an alternative, very similar and a girls name as far as I'm aware! :)

I know of a Hadley, and he is a boy,
I'm not keen for either sex tbh

How about Zoe, Lillian and Harriet?
