Hayley - most traditional spelling??

[LilyKing0909]

I'm just wondering what the original spelling of Hayley is - I see that Hailey is the most popular, but that isn't the original, is it?

Didn't Hayley become popular from the actress Hayley Mills? I thought Hayley is more popular in the UK, I think of Hailey as a more Americanised spelling.

I think the original spelling is probably Haley from the surname but apparently Hayley Mills' mother's middle name is Hayley so I think perhaps both Haley and Hayley are original spellings.

Hailey is a surname to me, Hayley is a first name

I know two Hayleys (both early 40s) and they both spell it Hayley. Never come across the other spelling.

Hayley imo.

Hailey is the most common spelling in the US, but Hayley is more popular in the UK.

I've only seen it spelt as Hayley. It's a pretty name and quite unusual these days. Due a comeback!

I know a Hayley in her 50s and a 14 year old Hailie

I've only ever met Hayleys.

Much prefer Hayley - isn't Eminems daughter something like Hailie?

I named my daughter Hayley and she is 31 now I just loved the name

Forgot it was because of Hayley Mills

I know a 25 year old Hayleigh, but I prefer the Hayley spelling.
