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) :)
