Hailey?

[Gentlerose30]

My DH really likes the name Hailey Elizabeth. I’m warming to it, what are your thoughts on Hailey? Is the name about these days? Pretty name? Thanks!

Hi OP, I think it's a little drab, truthfully. Would you consider Hazel? Sounds kind of similar, but I think more sophisticated and the ending not being an "ee" sound would be nice with your other daughters' names.

I like Katie too, but I'd probably put Kate on the BC.

Hailey is the American way of spelling it. Hayley is the British way. If you go with the American way, she will have to spend her whole life correcting everyone.

Hayley is an absolute fab name.

I quite like Hayley, it always strikes me for some reason as a very happy name.

I do prefer Kate/Katie though.

It is so dated to me. I don't like it at all.
Katie goes perfectly with your other 2.

I would swop the first name and middle name round, Elizabeth is lovely and classic, Hailey a lot less so (whatever way it’s spelt)

Nice but i'd spell it HAYLEY

Wow. Not sure why I'm shouting 😂

I love the name Hailey, however you spell it. Also Kayleigh, which it will sometimes get misheard for.

@Gentlerose30

I read that Hayley was the least common way to spell it!? Maybe that’s just in America!

Yep defo - here Hayley is most common. It comes from Hayley Mills, who got it from her mother's maiden name - no history as a girl's name before that.

It feels dated and a little down-market to me, but I think it's a bit younger and more classless in the US (where they tend to spell it Hailey etc).

I don't think it goes with Sophie and Lucy at all, they're quite classic names and Hayley isn't, I think Katie (Katherine) is a better fit. As an adult, I would much rather be called Kate than Hayley.

Kate Elizabeth or Kate Amelia would be nice.

Katherine (Katie) gets my vote.

I don’t think Hayley goes with Sophie and Lucy.
Kate does.
Or what about Alice? An equally classic name in the Sophie / Lucy mould.

I like Hayley, Hailey just makes me think of that awful Hailey Baldwin and doesn’t look right with your sibling names.

Katie does go better with your other names though I think.

I don't like hailey but love Hallie. Names are weird as much as I don't like it now it might be the cutest name ever next year. And not sure how one letter changes wether a name is lovely or horrible

Hayley is a very pretty name , can’t abide Katie , too twee .

I like it, but her life will be easier if you use Hayley

Awful name (sorry).

At school it wasn’t one of the ‘nice’ names.
