Dennis and eyebrows. Everyone will think you can't spell Hayley

zippitippitoes · 11/07/2008 10:13

one of the worst ideas

why

and if it was a name it wouldnt be a girlks name

just odd

I'd stick to Hayley, tbh, because that's what everyone will call her anyway.

Healey is forever associted with Dennis Healey and his bushy eyebrows!

Awful. Sorry.

Only if she looks like this as thats who anyone of a certain age will think of when they hear the name I'm afraid

shoes with wheels...

FabioTheTimeLordCatOfGallifrey · 11/07/2008 10:03

I thought 'Jeremy'
[shows age]

It sounds like you've got mixed up between Hayley and Keely.

mumblechum · 11/07/2008 10:02

Dennis.

Botbot · 11/07/2008 10:00

Sorry to be brutal, but I've always thought it was quite an ugly surname.

Honest answer? The first thing I thought about was Heely shoes (with the heels in the wheels).

Katisha · 11/07/2008 09:57

It would depend on whether you thought those shoes with roller skaes in them are still going to be popular when she arrives at school...(If Healey is pronounced Heely)

HereComeTheGirls · 11/07/2008 09:55

personally I wouldn't choose them.
