Ok, so we are 29 dpo (and pregnant) and we would love your input on our girl names. We have our boy name (Leo, for Leonardo DiCaprio and Leo from charmed since I'm a dork. Also we just really like the name). However we are stuck on our girl name and would love to hear your opinions on both of these names and which one you like better. Thank you! 😊

Hailey is atrocious.

InTheRoseGarden · 24/03/2018 14:25

Hailey for me but they're both nice

Oysterbabe · 24/03/2018 14:09

Cora is nicer.
Much prefer the Hayley spelling if you go that way.
What's the weather like today? Hailey.

LoveInTokyo · 24/03/2018 13:22

And there is nothing wrong with spelling it Hailey. I like it.

LoveInTokyo · 24/03/2018 13:21

Going against the grain here - I like Hailey.

Seeing a lot of love for Cora! Leaning more towards Cora I must say but we're still torn.

@llangennith so there can only be one spelling for a name? It's not like it's a weird spelling - there are several ways to spell Hailey. I originally wanted to go with Haley but thought Hailey was a more phonetic spelling since a few people thought it was somehow pronounced as HAL-EE

Hailey, never hear of it anymore I only like Cora if it's short for cordelia.

llangennith · 24/03/2018 12:28

Wondered why Hailey looked odd!
It’s HAYLEY.

Cora is gorgeous. Leo is a great name too btw. Congratulations!

Cora

MikeUniformMike · 24/03/2018 12:18

Hailey is just a different spelling of Hayley. A 50yr old's name.
Prefer Cara to Cora.

Therealpallini · 24/03/2018 07:29

I love the name Cora, Hailey not so much.

MissBax · 24/03/2018 06:46

I would say Hailey - there have been 5 Cora's that have been born in my local area that I know of in the past year! Hailey is much less heard of for babies now
