First name "Hale" for a boy?

kinkin2303 · January 2015

Looking for opinions on using the first name "Hale" (pronounced hail) for a boy?

Thanks!

nms...but I've seen worse ones...depends on the mn and ln too.

kinkin2303 · January 2015

Thanks.

No MN yet and LN is two syllables and ends in "en"

Like Hail to the King or the weather that is like ice balls? You can do better.

Ditto!

I've heard it before as a last name, and liked the way it sounded as a first name. Appreciate the feedback!

Can't get on board... Sounds like a joke.

No. It's a surname, and fairly uncommon one. Awful as a first name

I actually like the name, however all I can't think of is the movie The Cutting Edge. "Toe Pick!"

kinkin2303 · January 2015

Ha ha! I totally forgot about that movie!

I was going to say The Cutting Edge too.

I don't care for it personally.

Hale? Have you said it out loud? It sounds horrible. Maybe it's my Midwestern accent but it sounds like Hell.

No please

sre789 · January 2015

The only Hale you ever raised? No.

Noooo

I like it, but then this.
"Aw hale!"

Thanks for the feedback. It's interesting to hear other people's opinions.

We aren't from the USA as some of you appear to be (ie. Mid-western accents) so "sounds like hell" never even occurred to us because the way we pronounce it doesn't sound at all like hell.

We still like the way it sounds but we think we may go with something like "Will" or another short name.

No.

Unless you've got a brittish accent, I'd pass. I'd probably still put my vote for choose another name.

4N6s · January 2015

Will is much better

Another "Cutting Edge" fan here, so of course that's what I think of. NMS though, and Hale was the boring, stuck up boyfriend in that movie.
