Also do you prefer it spelled Hailey or Hayley?

Either but I prefer Hayley to Hailey.

Hailey looks wrong or some sort of weather forecast, "they'll be Hailey showers in the north"

You have reminded me of my dad's running joke when we were younger - "oh look it's hayley-ing outside" Grin

@Yumyumzit's one of my sister's names. I think she likes it - unusual, don't get mispellings/mispronoucing usually however I agree it is very dated and has been since she was about 10! (She's 40 now)

Hailey for sure

peaceinourtime · 31/08/2023 21:04

Hayley for sure. It will stand out as previously mentioned on this thread there are few Hayley’s under 30. A nice refreshing change.

They are both a bit tired and a bit 90s, but I still like them both. I like many popular names, such as Ruby and Poppy.

I would pick Haley or Hayley. I don't like the way Hailey looks.

Hayley.

But actually I prefer Hallie, which wasn’t what you asked of course!

Hannah Lovely classic name

FinnRussell · 30/08/2023 12:59

Hannah is more classic. Hayley is cooler.

Hannah is much nicer and quite classic (although I really prefer Anna).

Hayley is fine (that spelling), but not really classic and a bit meh.

Hailey spelt that way is lovely, Hannah is very bland

I prefer the Hayley spelling, but out of the two names I prefer Hannah.

Whilst it was far more popular in the 80s-00s than it is now, I would not be surprised to hear of a baby Hannah today as it's very classic and still used. Whereas Hayley feels quite dated now and perhaps should remain in the 80s.

AdoraLovesCake · 30/08/2023 09:08

I like both but there are way more Hannahs, so I vote Hailey
