Hayley/Haley/Hailey/Haylee/Hailee/Hayleigh?

Which one do you prefer and why?

[name_f]Hayley[/name_f]
[name_u]Haley[/name_u]
[name_f]Hailee[/name_f]
[name_f]Hailie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f]
[name_f]Haylee[/name_f]
[name_f]Haylie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayleigh[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] because of [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] from Vampire Diaries and The Originals…

I prefer [name_u]Haley[/name_u]. It’s the most straight forward and prettiest in my opinion.

Hailey feels the most natural.

Hailey is the most common spelling according to the SS names database. I’m all for the most common spelling! Looks the prettiest to me too.

I like [name_u]Haley[/name_u] best.

I used to like [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] the most until someone said it sounds like an extreme weather condition.

Either [name_u]Haley[/name_u] or [name_f]Hailey[/name_f]!

I prefer either [name_u]Haley[/name_u], [name_f]Hayley[/name_f], [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] or [name_f]Haylee[/name_f]! I don’t really like [name_f]Hayleigh[/name_f], I think that the “creative spelling” is a little too much for me!

Haley, here :wave: (thanks, @almostactually!)

I like my name, but some people default to [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], some default to [name_f]Hayley[/name_f], some to [name_f]Haylee[/name_f] and some to [name_u]Haley[/name_u] - it’s a mixed bag, really. [name_f]My[/name_f] name was almost [name_f]Hayleigh[/name_f], because my mom liked it more, but my dad said it’d be too hard for a kindergartener to spell :stuck_out_tongue:

Just be forewarned, no matter what spelling you choose, you’ll likely have to correct at least some people. It’s annoying, but you get used to it.

I think [name_u]Haley[/name_u] is my favourite now, (biased), but I used to wish I was [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] or [name_f]Hayleigh[/name_f]!

My favorite is [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], just because that’s what I default you and I think it’s prettier than the other options.

spellings from fave to least fave:

Hailey
[name_u]Haley[/name_u]
[name_f]Hailie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hailee[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayley[/name_f]
[name_f]Haylie[/name_f]
[name_f]Haylee[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayleigh[/name_f]

I think I would prefer [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], but I have a terribly association with that one, so for me it’s probably either [name_u]Haley[/name_u] (simple, pretty, naturey) or [name_f]Haylie[/name_f] (kind of a GP, but looks like a nickname, which I think is quite sweet).

Hailey and [name_f]Hailee[/name_f] for me, [name_u]Haley[/name_u] looks too plain as if it should be a complete different pronunciation somehow

Hayley is the spelling I’ve seen the most so it seems the most natural but I like [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] as well

Haley or [name_f]Hailey[/name_f]

Haley is my favourite! There’s something celestial, clean and lovely about it!

(@leafsgirl44 definitely helped sell it to me!!)

Hayley is super sweet and soft, and it’s easy to spell. This is my favorite, but [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] gave my friend the nn Hailstorm, which was cool.

Hayley was the name of a character from a story I used to write with a friend, so this spelling looks right to me. I also like [name_f]Hailey[/name_f].
