[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries,

I’ve recently stumbled across the name [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] and I’m crushing pretty hard on it.

  1. What are your thoughts on [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] as a first name?

  2. Any ideas on middle names? Maybe something a little more expected to balance it out since [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] isn’t super common

  3. Also, what do you think of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]? Too pretentious or strong and stately?

Thanks!

Quite like [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]! Strong and stately indeed.

Generally I prefer [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] in the middle spot, but I think it could work as a first too. Fits right in with [name_u]Tate[/name_u], [name_m]Gage[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and other brief firsts that sound like surnames. My only issue is it sounds a little like “Hey!” which could create some confusion. My name rhymes with a lot of things, so I’m constantly turning around thinking someone’s called me. I imagine the same thing might happen for a [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]. But that’s not really a big deal.

As for middles… I could see it going either way, expected or unexpected. Since [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] is a bit buttoned-up, you could let loose in the middle.

I like enough that I just added it to my list! Since its one syllable I would do at least 2 for the middle.

I remember loving [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] when I first came across it. My instinct would be to use it in the middle spot but I like to pick unusual names so [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] does that I think! [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is really sweet.

Also loving:
