What do we think of Hallie/Halle?

I was all set on Millie, but a friend has just suggested a name we had on our original list, and I now quite like this again.

Any thoughts on the name and spelling would be appreciated. They both have different meanings.

I like it - think I prefer the Halle spelling.

alfiemama · 12/07/2010 11:35

Thanks Polkadottytotty

Not sure which one I like best, my choices are.

Emily (Milly for nn)
Amelie (Millie for nn)
Amelia (same as above)
Hallie
Halle
Or just Millie.

Sounds too much like an orchestra for me!

i like Halle a woman whose daughter goes to my sons nursery has just had a little girl and called her Halle its very pretty

Kathleen123 · 12/07/2010 11:46

I love Hallie

alfiemama · 12/07/2010 12:49

Thanks everyone. It does have a very pretty feel to it and seems more unusual than Millie.

I wonder what middle name would flow well with this?

I like Halle/Hallie. Much nicer/more unique than Millie (there are so, so many Millies around already...).

violetsmile · 12/07/2010 13:44

I love it. Like it spelt Hallie best.

alfiemama · 12/07/2010 13:58

Ooh so glad everyone likes it. Think this could be the underused pretty name Ive been looking for.

It's OK, although I prefer Hayley or Harriet.

alfiemama · 12/07/2010 16:21

I suppose its not for everyone, but I love it so much, I'm going to go for it.
Hallie Rose (unless I can come up with a better middle name).

Thanks everyone

I would think you had named her after Halle Berry

Fimbo · 12/07/2010 17:22

I like Louise as a middle name. You have chosen an underused name, Rose is pretty popular as a middle name these days but then I guess it is probably the Louise of the 70's!

alfiemama · 12/07/2010 17:35

I know Fimbo, its so hard to find a middle name that flows as well as Rose though. May try Primrose just to be a tad different.

Hallie Primrose

or Hallie Sofia
Hallie Eve
Hallie Fern
Hallie Faye

Halle is gorgeous, much nicer than the ubiquitous Millie and a nicer spelling than Hailey/Hallie/Holly.

Thanks Pixie. Unfortunately my little ones hate with a passion Mama Mirabel, so no way would they let me have that one .

Just worry Deeply about having to keep correcting the pronunciation of Halle, hence why I thought of Hallie. But maybe I should just go for Halle.

Definitely Halle

Hallie just looks like you didn't know how to spell it to me.

Greensleeves · 13/07/2010 10:25

Halle Faye is nice

Halle Fleur
Halle Jane
Halle Joy
Halle Corinne
Halle Maude

lena522 · 13/07/2010 10:57

I like it but I would personally spell it Hallie as I wouldn't be 100% sure how to pronounce Halle...(Hall-ee or Hal)

alfiemama · 13/07/2010 13:25

My slight problem now, is I have been calling bump Millie for a week to try it out and now feels odd anything else.

What could Millie be short for? Looking for something different.

Hedwig3 · 13/07/2010 13:28

Milly

I don't like Millicent even though DH does, as I always hear Millitant!

alfiemama · 13/07/2010 13:38

Thanks Hedwig. Would you not have Milly as a nn though. Just thinking for when she is older. Hubby says Emily but we will call her Milly, then he gets what he wants (Emily) and I get Milly. Only prob is I think Emily is very popular.

I know I'm a pain in the ....

Also when I told Alfie last night we were going to call her Halle Rose, he was so excited thought I'd said Annie-Rose, so looks like that one is back on the table
