[Opinions] Hayley
Thoughts, opinions, associations? I liked it before it became popular, and I still like it. I think it's very sweet. Don't know how it charted in 2008, but I guess I could look it up. :)

I like it, but Hailey is my favorite spelling. It's too popular for me to consider.

I hate it. :P Nah, of course I like it. It is very popular though.

It's decent, but rather trendy and it will date. I prefer the spelling Hailey. It is rather sweet, and I could imagine a kind-hearted little girl named Hayley.

It's very dull, dated, cutesy and won't age well.

It's not really my style. Hayley, Hailey, Haley are all ok spellings to me, I don't have a preference....:P Though I kind of GP Haley (this spelling) for a boy.

Not my style, but Hayley is best spelling.

I really like it, although it's super popular. I may use it as a middle name, or even a first name if it get's a little less popular, though my preferred spelling is Haley.

I really like Hayley. I think it's a really sweet name. I'm not sure what the popularity is, but I don't know anyone with this name, and it's not a name that I come across often so I don't think of it as being common.
The only problem with this name is all the different spellings. I go through phases of liking a particular spelling, I used to like Haylie, Hayleigh and most recently Hailey. Now, I'm starting to like Hayley again, which was the first spelling I liked for this name!

I despise it, sorryIt's one of those surnames that never goes away! I know women in their early 30's to toddlers named it and in various different spellings.It's like the Kaitlin/Katelynn etc.. situation in terms of saturation and spellings, although Haley is obviously traditionally masculine by default.Having known so many, I have various associations but most are not pleasant. As far as surnames go it is one of the examples that least annoys me but that might be more to do with familiarity and long exposure.

Haylee is nice when spelled Hailee

I adore the name, but I prefer it spelled as Hailey, simply because I can't stand the Hayley spelling. It's the 'y' in place of the 'i' that has me detesting it. It is just a very odd spelling to me.

I've always liked it, although my favourite spelling of it is Hailey. My niece's name is Haileigh, but her parents used the -leigh ending to incorporate the family name.

Hayley is in the top 10 when you combine all the different spellings. The most common spellings are Hailey and Haley.I love Hayley. Only spelled like this. I dislike all the other spellings. Hayley is pretty, the others are really strange looking, in my opinion. I'll never understand how Hailey and Haley became more common than Hayley. It's like when Kaitlyn and Katelyn became more popular than Caitlin. I love Hayley and Caitlin.

Don't really like the spelling. I prefer Hailey or Haley. I also like Haley on a boy, but only with this spelling.

Other than its high popularity, it reminds me of a little girl that used to live next door to me. Overall, I think the name is quite youthful, and can't really imagine an older lady with this name.
