ha, that made me laugh :smiley:
But yes, [name]Hayley[/name] is much too close to [name]Hayden[/name]. What if you have a third child? They’ll either have to get some awkward, made-up Hay- name or feel totally left out. And it can get very confusing on forms just for siblings who have the same first initial, let alone names that are the exact same for the entire first half. And honestly, I prefer [name]Claire[/name] for many other reasons as well. [name]Hayley[/name] is just so commonplace- there’s a zillion spellings and it’s so close to [name]Kaylee[/name], [name]Kylie[/name], [name]Riley[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], [name]Miley[/name], etc. that it sounds incredibly boring. [name]Claire[/name] is just classic and beautiful and sounds great with [name]Williams[/name].

What about a compromise? [name]Claire[/name] [name]Hayley[/name] [name]Williams[/name]?
