Help[Opinions] Re: Hallie?
in reply to a message by MissBelle
I like Parent Trap too! Lol.
1) Does it seem too nicknamey to you? Well, I've always seen Hallie as a name on its own. Maybe thats just because I knew a Hallie as a child. For reference, I think Molly and Sally are fine on their own, but I think Addie and Lizzy are too nicknamey. I think Hallie fits in the first category.
2)Does it sound too similar to Hayley for your comfort? Well I think Hallie would sometimes get confused with Hayley, but not enough to avoid using it. I think there are alot of similar sounding names out there, and names get mixed up no matter what they are. As for the Hayley's you know, I think only you can decide based on how close you are to them if this would be a problem, but I'd only find this a problem if it was sisters, or if, say, they lived down the street and your kids played together every day.
3) Your preffered spelling: Hallie. I also think it is the least confusing. I know Halle is prn. same way, but seriously, every time I see it I just think "Hal!" To me, if there is no i or y there, it doesn't make an e sound. Thge other spellings aren't great, especially Hally.
Middle name suggestions? I've always liked Hallie Kate or Hallie Elizabeth (my mn, not a filler)- I like Hallie Elizabeth. Hallie Kate is a bit cutesy as a full name for me- how about Hallie Katherine, and you could call her Hallie Kate occasionaly? I think one of the Hallie's I know is Hallie Renee, and I don't know the others middle name. Others: Hallie Jemima, Hallie Winter, Hallie Samara, Hallie Louisa.
I babysit two sisters in Aus called Hallie (5) and Tara (4) :)

Since children are a long way off (three years or more.) the Hayleys thing might change. I might loose contact (I hope not!) or one might move closer or I might move near them etc. I really can't tell at this point. If I had a Hallie right now, though, it wouldn't be a problem. Except for the occasinal "Hey Hayley" "Hey Hallie" over msn/letters :P
Hallie Katherine nn Hallie Kate is really nice, thanks :) I tend to prefer Catherine but I think I prefer Hallie Kate to Hallie Cate.
Ohhh, I'm digging Hallie Winter. Nice, nice. Funny you should mention Jemima and Samara. I know a Jemima and another friend uses Samara as an alias :P Ohh, Hallie Louisa! I love Louisa!
Thanks :)

Just to clarify...
how are you pronoucing Hallie? I know its hard to explain over the net but... is it like hah-lee (short a) or like Hayley? unfortunatley I've seen Hallie as a creative spelling for Hayley. I prn it the fist way, and once again, if there is no y or i before that first l- eg Haylie, Hailey, Haillee etc (yuck!), you are never going to convince me its pronounced with the hay sound as opposed to hah.
Yikes that was a big explaination of a simple question :)
