Hadley/Hadlee

Girl Names
1

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]/[name_f]Hadlee[/name_f] is on my top 5. I used to like the “ley” ending better but now I’m leaning more towards the “lee”. It appears more classic to me. Curious to know your preference.

Thanks!

I think [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is cute.

[name_f]Hadlee[/name_f] would confuse people, but I think it may actually be the old English spelling. I would still go with [name_u]Hadley[/name_u].

3

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is a friend’s surname. It’s really odd that people with no connection to the family are using it as a first name. Perhaps you’d find more meaningful surnames in your genealogy to use?

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is cute, I really like it actually :slight_smile:

@rkrd - It’s not odd at all - [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is also considered an alternative to [name_f]Heather[/name_f], as they share a meaning.

Personally, I don’t like the name [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] too much. But I’d always prefer the -ey spelling!

6

I’d use [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], as the double ees would just make it look 80s style [name_f]IMO[/name_f] (like most of my childhood friends :wink: [name_f]Ashlee[/name_f], [name_f]Aynslee[/name_f], [name_f]Carlee[/name_f], [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f], [name_f]Kimberlee[/name_f]…

I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u].

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is one of my GPs. I really like it even if it isn’t my usual style! [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] seems much more legit though; [name_f]Hadlee[/name_f] looks too trendy, a step from [name_f]Hadleigh[/name_f].

9

I really don’t get why people like this name so much, there’s a town in the county I live in called [name_f]Hadleigh[/name_f] and that’s all it reminds me of. I don’t see the appeal but [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is a lot better than [name_f]Hadlee[/name_f].

10

I personally prefer the -ey ending, as I think it is more intuitive, but [name_f]Hadlee[/name_f] is kind of sweet too.

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] nieces name. I love it and I prefer this spelling ey, which I think is the common spelling and will mean less mis spellings for a future daughter. -ee looks less classy to me.
