Quite harsh sounding name. It makes me think of a spoilt brat, top to toe in Louis Vitton, don’t know why.

ditherydotty · 08/01/2023 00:31

Awful for both a girl and boy

As in 'I had Lee' ? Go for it.

Rickandmortified100 · 08/01/2023 00:28

I don’t like it. To me it feels a bit awkward

Hadley Freeman is a legend

Use it OP, it's GOLD!

You've got the power to know!

I don't think it's a particularly pleasant sounding name, but it's not offensive or anything so if you are into those surname sounding first names, then why not!

Makes me think of Tony Hadley but I don't like/unlike it.

Volkswagenitalia · 07/01/2023 23:56

I like it - the only Hadley I know of is the journalist Hadley Freeman and that is a good association.

It's 'unique' without being ridiculous.

I think it's okay even though my first thought it the evil prison warden from Shawshank.

aubergineterrine · 07/01/2023 23:51

I like it, it was on our list but for a boy

JanglyBeads · 07/01/2023 23:43

I know a lovely little American "Hadley", so I like it now, andI'm quite a traditionalist!

HelloBunny · 07/01/2023 23:39

Very American sounding name.

Zerrin13 · 07/01/2023 23:34

Its actually quite silly

TheSingingBean · 07/01/2023 23:28

Lovely

Eudaimonia5 · 07/01/2023 23:28

As in Tony? No, give the kid a proper first name. You could maybe give your little girl Hadley as a surname if it has family significance. I hate surnames as first names, I don't understand it.

peaceinourtime · 07/01/2023 23:24

Its lovely, use it.

It's not a nice name for a boy or a girl.
