Help[Opinions] Hayley
What do you think of Hayley? I've always really liked it for a girl. But I only really like it spelled Hayley and I think a lot of people might spell it Haley or Hailey. Which is your favorite spelling?
Do you know which is the original spelling? I think it is Hayley because I once read that this spelling was first used in Britain where the Name originates from and as it means something with hay I guess Hayley makes the most sense but I am not absolutely sure about this.

My 12 year old daughter is named Hayley so I obviously love the name and this spelling.

Hayley as a girls' name came first here & charted in the 1970s, but I worked with one who'd be 60 now, and Hayley Mills, who started the trend of using it on girls, was born in 1946.
The Hayley spelling looks more feminine to me because I'm used to it being a female first name - I've never seen the others irl, except as surnames. It's a bit dated here though, and nms.

It's okay, but I find it a little awkward to say. The different spelling variations could be a bit of a headache. I like the Hayley spelling best also.

I like it pretty well. I'm not particular about the spelling; Hailey or Hayley, but Haley is less preferred. As to what's the "original" spelling, well, a lot of times nobody really knows for sure, and more than one might have originated at the same time. When I see it used as a last name, it's most often Haley.
