Hadleigh for a boy?

[LackofSleep01]

Me and partner both love the name (family all hate it!) But neither of us is keen on the masculine spelling Hadley, preferring the above. The 2 people (both men) I know with this name spell it with the -eigh ending, but Im concerned about ridicule!

If you have to ask, don't do it.

I live her a hadleigh. Never heard of it as a name before!

I'm with your family on the name. Your proposed spelling is, um, horrid.

Near!

Um, I think it is fine ?

I don't like your proposed spelling either. Hadley is nicer in my opinion.

Love it, spelt Hadley though

Do the two people you know called Hadleigh experience ridicule about their name?

I prefer the Hadley spelling, just because the leigh bit looks like the feminine version to me.

I come from near Hadleigh in Suffolk - so to me it's a bit like Brooklyn Beckham :) Hadley seems more 'name-like', but probably only because Hadleigh is so familiar to me as a place name IYSWIM

I quite like it, but much prefer Hadley.
I would assume Hadleigh was a girl I'm afraid

Do you want him to sped his life saying "No, it's spelled -Leigh. No idea why- yes it is a pain in the neck....."?

I dont like the spelling. Hadley so much nicer

I have a slight aversion to 'eigh' names, so prefer Hadley. Having said that, the children I know with the name Hadley are all girls (even though I see it as a masculine name).

Please don't call the poor thing Hadleigh!

Hadley is not great. Hadleigh is awful. Sorry.
