Is this name too out there?

[Matchateadoughnutplease]

I recently heard of a baby girl called Halliday, nickname Hallie. I love it. What do you think?
Honest thoughts only please!

Sorry it's awful. If you like Hallie then it's fine to just use that, no need to give the child a ridiculous first name when you're going to use a nickname.

My honest opinion is that it's a bit naff

Just use Halle or Hallie as a stand alone name

I'd think there name is Holiday which is a female name. Never heard of Halliday!

I know a Hallie, not my taste but not awful, I work in a school so I’m used to hearing lots of different names.

Makes me think Halliday Reeves law firm.
Not keen.

If y ok want to call her Hallie just call her that, why bother with the horrible name as a stepping stone ?

I don’t think it’s a recognised name so would cause lots of problems with spelling it out etc. Hallie is okay but might be misheard as Holly…

I think it sounds like you're saying holiday in an American accent

I’m sorry but no.

Halliday sounds like a surname.
I agree with pp just use Hallie

I really like it, but I would just use the short version. I also love Haliey but dont think MN is a fan

Halliday is a surname and people use those as first names all the time. I'm not mad on either Halliday or Hallie tbh (too much like halitosis ). But it's perfectly ok imo. I don't think it is out there to a degree where she would find it a major obstacle in life I don't think...unless someone pops up with a negative cultural reference I don't know about!

Sorry Hailey

Hallie is fine. Halliday isn't and now I have Madonna's Holiday stuck in my head.

I know a Hally who is Halide - a Turkish name. I love it!

I don't like it. It just sounds wrong to me. I'd just use Hallie. Hallie is the 58th most popular name, and there have been no Hallidays recorded.

Honest thoughts only please!

As opposed to what other sort?

I actually don’t mind it. I mean, I wouldn’t use it myself. But wouldn’t raise too many eyebrows to someone else using it.

Not my thing at all. There are so many gorgeous girl's names out there, why do people choose random surnames? If it's your mum's maiden name or something then OK, but just a random surname? Might as well go for Pettigrew or Grint or Potter or Watson. I can't see that Halliday is any better, tbh. Thanks for letting me rant ;)

There is nothing wrong with Halliday - if you like it then use it. The UK is so conservative and old fashioned when it comes to names!!!

Whoops - forgot to say OP, I really like the name.

I would think the parents did not know how to spell it correctly. Just like all the parents of Chassitys.

I thought you were making that up until I googled!

I just think if you like it go for it. Who cares what other people think? There's an option for a pretty normal nickname if your child hates it. I actually really like the Turkish spelling Halide too!

I think Hallie is not nice at all but Halliday is great.

For good reason.

Halliday will want to get a decent job one day.
