What do we think of Hallie/Halle?

[alfiemama]

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.

Alfie is right - Annie Rose is a sweet name.

Halle is nice but completely associated with Halle Berry for me (not that that's necessarily a bad thing)

Annie is lovely.

Thanks Kathleen. I'm just not as keen on Annie (sorry to anyone who has an Annie) on its own, but agree I think its sweet all together. Maybe I would get past that. When we named Alfie, said I would never ever call him Alf, use it all the time now

I think Milly is lovely on its own and fine in adulthood.

Is Emily really that popular? I only know 2 and I teach.

Thanks Hedwig. I know I am a complete pain.
Going to go for Amilie, Emily or Milly Rose, just not sure which

Wow, I love Hallie/Halle. What does it mean? What is it short for? Been thinking about the name all day.

Is def on the list now for dc3, thank you . Been thinking about the name all day - i'd love Mahalia with nn Hallie... dh not keen on Mahalia (boo).

Amelie, Emily, Milly, Annie all sweet.

You are not a pain, you just want to get it right!

I think you are at the point where you will know what feels right when the time comes, don't worry.

How much longer now?

(Sorry, before someone links that google-it-yourself page , I did google it but wondered what the OP had found...)

Thanks Hedwig, still quite a while 16 weeks. But I have always chosen names and called them that throughout so seem weird not doing the same with this one.

Adair no probs at all. I know Halle is a name in its own right, actually Hallie is also and not short for anything. I know Halle means Heroine, but Hallie means something else, so depends on which spelling you use.
We had Halle and Hattie on original list (very long first list) but when I found out I was having a girl, forgot about it, then my friend said she had a name she liked and I was the same as you, starting thinking all day about it.

I don't like Halle/Hallie at all. I prefer Ali or Holly ...

Millie is lovely though

I don't think it needs a longer version but if you do, you could use Millicent, Mildred (ewww), Amelia, Amelie or Emily.

I think it's perfectly lovely on its own though

Millie could also be short for Camilla
