Henley for a girl???

jmh1983

We just bought an investment property on Henley Street, and I was thinking that name sounded cute for a girl. Any thoughts??

SuperDeDuper:

It sounds made up, and not very girl-like (or boy-like).  What would the nn be, Hen? 

To be fair, I'm not a fan made-up, super unique names.  I don't think a child needs a totally unique name or a unique spelling to be special.  But that's just me, to each their own!

ITA.  I don't think of it as a name of a person when I hear it.  Sorry.

I do like different name...meh...I think it would grow on me! I think it's cute I guess!

A version of that is Hadley for a girl.....

Does it fit with you and DH's names?  I don't hate it, but it is not my style.  I would say that my first thought is a boy name

I know a little boy named Henley that was born within the past month.  

I don't like it for a boy or a girl, you could do something way cuter for a girl.

I'm not feeling it at all and don't like the NN Hen.

I prefer Hadley and/or Tenley

I don't love it, but I don't dislike it. I know a girl named Tinsley and her sister was Hanley. I think there are more femme names, but Henley is by no way bad. What were you thinking for a middle name?

Makes me think of Don Henley and I want to start singing Boys of Summer...

What about Hensley? A friend named her daughter that and I think it fits her perfectly!

I looooove it!  That was in my "short list" of names cause I am a huge Eagles fan.  I've never heard it before I was so surprised to see it on here!

This is what I think of too.

What about something similar? Still unique, but a bit more name-sounding.

We had a street in my neighborhood called Brinley (You can spell it other ways to make it more feminine) that my sister almost used as her baby girl's name.

My friend has a baby girl named that and I'm not a fan.

My mom had suggested this name to me, it is cute but it wasn't for us.

no sounds like you are trying way to hard.

It sounds like someone who will eventually end up on "The Bachelor".

I love it! My baby girls name is Henley and I say its short for heavenly. I would say too that if there is any name you love that you and your hubby are thinking of, I would just keep it between you two because I have seen beautiful names I love get bashed and whats the fun in that. We've all heard of what people opinions are like... Congratulations on you new baby!
