Hale?

I would love your honest thoughts on the name Hale. It's Old English, so I know it's a bit more unusual, but is it *too* out there?? Middle name suggestions are welcome, as well as alternatives if you don't love Hale. Siblings are Gra.ham and Cec.ilia.

I don't hate Hale, but I think with weather phenomenon and the praising of chiefs, it's not a great choice.

Able

All I think of is Twilight (it was the last name of several main characters).  Also, whenever I pair it with a middle name, it just sounds like a greeting: "Hail, Scott!"

Middle name ideas:

Hail Aiden

Hale Athelstan

Hale Basil

Hale Benjamin

Hale Corbin

Hale Kenneth

Hale Loren

Hale Patrick

Hale Scott

Alternative ideas:

Blaine

Calvin

Dominic

John

Julian (nn Jules)

Lysander

Roman

Rudolph (nn Rudy)

Stuart

I wouldn't side-eye it, but given how beautiful your other children's names are, I wold definitely think he got the short end of the naming pool.

Suggestions: Rhys, Ewan, Lucas, Caleb

I like it. It's different but not weird.

I'm guessing in this scenario hale is for a boy?
I don't think it could compare to your other children's names.
Some suggestions I can think of that might sound good with the other two are: Eric, Adam, James, Caleb.

Not a huge fan of Hale... How about Cale?

Naf a hale, it just sounds odd as a first name.

I don't think it's awful but I don't love it either.  I just keep hearing someone saying hell with a southern accent.

LOL.. Honestly this was my first thought. It's a cool idea in theory, but I couldn't get past the "hail" association.

Also, another PP said it's like hell in a southern accent.. Well I live in the south, and she is totally right.

My daughter has a Hale in her class. I think it is cute

Ditto on the "hell" pronounciation for southerners. I would have a hard time with that. Also doesn't feel quite right with the sibling names which are both lovely.
