Opinions on Hayley?

[FlowerMax]

Thanks...

Im stunned at some of these replies. Hayley is a lovely inoffensive name. I don't think of it as dated at all.

I've only known one Hayley and she was very nice.

A few Hayleys I know around Dd age 23/24. I work with pre school children and Hayley has cropped up once or twice recently it is a nice name andnot at all chavvy

Ugly and dated. Sorry OP.

I'm called Hayley, I never saw it as chavvy or outdated or ugly! I get loads of compliments on my name. But then, where I am, it's not very common. Each to their own 🙂

This has really mixed responses! I'm a bit biased as the only Hayley I knew was at secondary school and wasn't very nice. I'm 37 and do feel it's a bit 'of my era'. Not that that means you shouldn't use it. You will prob get 50/50 reaction in real life too (though I hope everyone smiles sweetly and doesn't offend you) but it depends if it matters to you what they think.

I like Hayley.

I quite like it.

It is a bit dated. But not in the same way Sharon or Tracey from the previous generation are.

I've always liked how "balanced" it looks, with the y's.

I know loads of Hayleys from 20s to 50s. It's ok not a current name. Not in the same league as Sharon and Tracy.

Sorry! It's chavvy where I live! Most Hayley's wear trackies tucked into their lonsdale socks

It's chavvy where I live too. Two of my neighbours growing up were named Hayley (I think one was spelt Haylee) and they were no Miranda Priestley, to put it lightly.

Horrific. Sorry. So many beautiful names out there, why would you?

The one I knew at school was nicknamed Haystack, but I think that was a side effect of the wayward fair hair. It was quite a good nickname, really.

'Chavvy' is an awful word but tbh I wouldn't expect a Hayley to be from an educated, for want of a better word 'middle-class' family. And it is very 70s/80s to me.

I really like it and have only met nice Hayleys! Due a comeback

Erm..... I don't love it. Sorry!

People are really harsh about names bloody hell dont come into "Baby names" if you have a sensitive nature you will be crushed

I love it. I've only met 3 or 4 Hayley's so its not a common name and certainly has no chav connotation that I'm aware of. I would said Hails is the most common nickname to it.

It's awful, sorry.

How about Haidee?

Fucking hell, do you people forget that these are actual names and people reading these threads might actually be named them? What's wrong with saying 'I'm not at all a fan of that' or 'not to my taste' instead of throwing around spiteful and baseless class judgements?

Anyway OP it's alright - I wouldn't have picked it myself but there you go - my preferred spelling is Haley, but obviously I'm biased and couldn't possibly be from an educated or middle class family, so clearly kno nuffink bot speellins...

And if you name her Hayley/Hailey/Haley now, at least she won't spend the rest of her life going 'Yes Hayley. No not after the comet. Yes it does sound like that doesn't it hahaha' christ that was some tedious shit

I know a Harley and she is 7. She is a lovely girl. If you like it, use it!
