NN for Hadley???

dishlee101

All I can think of is Haddie.  Are there any other nicknames for Hadley?  Also, my mn is Lee, so my hubby wants to possibly spell it Hadlee.  That way since it is a family name, it will be used, and then we can use another family name as the middle name.  Any thoughts?

I don't think it' needs a nickname? Though Haddie would be my guess.

I'm really not a fan of changing spellings of names to smoosh in a name. I think Hadlee just looks cutesy and for some reason my brain thinks of Hardees.

I don't care for Hadley at all (sounds like "have you had Lee?" to me), but to answer your question, the nick name Hattie/Haddie or Lee comes up for me. I suppose you could call her Addie, but that's pretty popular, and makes it sound like her name is Addison.

I prefer nick names to come on their own, with their own story, like the singer, Pink.

And while it isn't my style, I highly recommend sticking to the original spelling. She'd have to correct people all of the time because Hadley is the default spelling.

Hadley is an adorable name, and I think Haddie would be the nickname people would be drawn to.  The thing about nicknames though is that we don't always get to pick them   Others tend to pick them for you!

Hardees:)  I didn't think of that until now.  Thanks for the advice.  I will be sure to tell my hubby.  I am glad to get honest answers on here.  It really does help with our list.

Love the name Hadley!  But if my middle name was Lee, I would name DD Hadlee - very cute! 

 

You could call her Haddie or Lee Lee, Hadd-ers

My 5 year old is a Hadley , no real nickname. I sometimes shorten it to Hads. My first name is Leigh although I go by my middle name and I briefly thought about spelling her name Hadleigh but decided to stick with the traditional spelling and I think you should too. Hadlee does look a bit like Hardees

Haddie is probably the most automatic nn for it.

I much prefer the original spelling- Hadlee looks very cutesy and looks part of the pack of Kaylee, Rylee, Brylee, etc. Those don't grow well IMO.

i like hadley spelled this way better than hadlee.  "lee" is incorporated into the name automatically b/c of the way it's pronounced.

as far as nicknames, haddie or ley (lee) make the most sense. 

also, sometimes nicknames are created randomly and have nothing to do with the first name, but still work b/c they match the person's character so well.  basically, what i'm saying is that you should let the nickname develop on its own.  for example miley cyrus.  her reall name was destiny, but her dad called her "smiley miley" (or something like that).

I love the name Hadley!

 I don't think I would use a NN, but if I did, Haddie is cute.

My LO is Hadley Katherine. I never thought of spelling Hadley any other way, but I think I like it the most traditional way. As PP have mentioned, I am hoping to have a NN form of its own accord. We don't call her Haddie but I sometimes call her Hadley Kate.

Hadleigh - Leigh

Hadley doesn't necessarily need or "come with" a nn, but I mean, if I was calling her from the other room I'd probably call, "Had!" or something. Like people call Madisons "Mad" while speaking.

 

I love Hadley, but Hadlee looks.. dumb.
