Baby girl name?!

I'm due to have a baby girl very soon and really struggling to settle on a name! Weve narrowed it down to Hailey/Hayley or Willow.
Willow is my favourite of the two but I'm very aware it's become quite popular! Hailey is pretty, more traditional and I dont know any baby Haileys at the minute.
Advice please?! Thank you! 😊😊

Willow by far.

Hayley is very 80s/90s. Although I think Hallie (that spelling) is becoming popular.

Neither of these names are at all 'traditional' OP - but both nice names. Hayley (best spelling) began as a girl first name in the 1960s and 70s and was very popular in the 80s and 90s. It's been quite a popular name for about 50 years. Willow is very recent in popular usage, and has a gentle nature feel. It will date to this decade I think. Much as I like Willow I would prefer to be called Hayley.

Hayley and Willow are both lovely. Not keen on the Hailey spelling.

Thanks everyone for the comments it's definitely gave me something to think about! The hardest decision by far has been a name! We didnt want something too out there and unusual but wanted a name that was pretty and quirky Smile xx

I only know one Hayley under 30 and I like it.

Willow is ok.

Hayley was a bit of a mean girl name when I was at school, but that night just be me. How about Hallie instead?

Willow is getting popular now, but I like it a lot. Other suggestions: Meadow, Leah, Clemmie.

Hayley is so dated. She will have a 'mum' name at school as most Hayleys are in their 30's. Willow is pretty, I'd go with that despite it's popularity.
