Love this name but not sure how it should be spelt. What are your thoughts?

Pronounced how?

Hallie I would say ' hall-y'

people might pronounce Halle, as Hale (as in stone?)

Disenchanted3 · 09/06/2009 09:49

no not hall -

hal - lee

jkklpu · 09/06/2009 09:50

can't even tell whether this is for a boy or girl - are you thinking Halle[can't do acute accent on my laptop keyboard] orchestra here? Sounds made-up to me.

littlelamb · 09/06/2009 09:50

I know a Hally. Her full name is Valhalla though...

LoveFalafel · 09/06/2009 09:51

Yes it would be pronounced Hal-lee

i realle like Hallie

as in hal-lee

Lizzylou · 09/06/2009 09:54

Love it too, I know a little girl called this, pronounced how Disenchanted said (2nd time)

LoveFalafel · 09/06/2009 09:54

Sorry should have given more information. It's for a girl. I don't think that it is made up since there is the actress Halle Berry but it is good to have that feedback.

I like it!
I'm not sure which way I'd spell it though - I like Halle but wonder if Hallie would make it easier for people to know how to pronounce it. Can it be spelt Hally?

Madmentalbint · 09/06/2009 10:03

Ooo yes....weren't the girls in Parent Trap called Hallie and Annie?

Def not a made up name.

Halle like in Halle Barry (catwoman)

ramonaquimby · 09/06/2009 11:51

no - the actress playing the twin sisters was called Hayley Mills.

not keen on Halle (as in Halle Berry)

really like Hayley

Madmentalbint · 09/06/2009 16:26

I'm talking about the twins in Parent Trap played by Lindsay Lohan

I don't know the one with Hayley Mills in

lizzy77 · 09/06/2009 17:17

Halle is better i think

ramonaquimby · 09/06/2009 17:20

ahh
you must watch the original, much better!!

MamaMimi · 09/06/2009 18:18

I know someone called Hayley who had a dd last month and called her Halle!

GreatGooglyMoogly · 09/06/2009 18:23

Halle Berry was named after a Department Store so it is made up but having said that there is a Halle at DS2's nursery school so it seems to have caught on already

Madmentalbint · 10/06/2009 14:49

I'll do that ramonaquimby

I loved Hayley Mills films when I was little. I think Cast Away was my fave!

ArcticLemming · 10/06/2009 14:57

I know a turkish girl called Hale - pronounced more Hallay- so I think it is a real name as well.

bargainhuntingbetty · 10/06/2009 14:59

I know a Halle and it is HALLE. Obvoiusly as that is why I typed it like that . I need help!!
