Hadley

What are your feelings about Hadley?  Is it 'trendy'?  My H loves the name Haddie but to me it is a nn and would need a formal name to go along with it.  Unfortunately, I don't like Harriet so that is out for a formal name.  Any other options as a formal name for Haddie?

Hadley was my #1 for years- long before ever ttc#1.  I think because it was my favorite for so long, I'm kinda over it now.  That being said, I think it's a great name.  I would not consider Hadley a formal name for Haddie, though.

It's trendy and I think will be time-stamped to this decade.

I think Hadley sounds very masculine. And sort of butler-ish.

The only Haddie I've ever known was a Hadassah.

I've never figured out if Hadley is supposed to have a long A sound or a short one. I'm guessing short?

I like looking at it but I think it might be weird to actually call somebody Hadley. It would be cool in middle and high school but it seems weird on a small child and weird for an adult.

I think its kind of trendy. It seems like a name that is being used to replace other similar names that have become too popular, like Hayley or any other "ley" ending name. I don't dislike it though, its just nms.

All I can think of is the bi-sexual vampire in the Sookie Stackhouse books!

I like Hadley.

I don't like it. My childhood BFF named her DD that and while it fits her as an infant, I just do not like it at all.

I love Hadley and don't think it is too trendy.

This.

I think it's such a weird name. First saw it in "the Paris wife" about Ernest Hemmingway's first wife, so I think of it as old fashioned.
