Other middle name suggestions are also welcome... we just need something to break up the same sounds that Hailey and Shirley (our last name) have...

    Is she going to go by her first and middle names?  Because if not, Hailey and Shirley are kind of rhyme-y.  I like the name, just not sure if you want something so similar to your LN.

    (I voted for Hailey Jane though!)

    To be honest I wouldn't use Hailey with Shirley. Most of the time people are not going to be using her middle name so it won't matter whether it 'breaks it up'...

    I love the name Haley, spelled this way. But, unfortunately, I think Hailey Shirley is too matchy.

    We love the name Hailey and we're okay with it sounding matchy matchy... We have a niece named Emily Yackley and I thought that was odd, but it sounds fine now, I guess you just get used to it lol

    I almost voted for Hailey Grace, but then I saw Hailey Jane, so that got my vote! I think both are beautiful, but I like Jane a little more.

    I voted for Elizabeth, since it puts the most distance and syllables between Hailey and Shirley. Also, I think it sounds the best.

    I agree w/ pp and I think there is a difference between Emily Yackley and Hailey Shirley. The different number of syllables in the fn and ln, along w/ the fact that the last name is readily identifiable as a last name makes Emily Yackley much less sing-songy than Hailey Shirley.

    I agree.  Emily Yackley is not nearly as sing-songy as Hailey Shirley.  I really hope you at least consider a different first name for you DD, especially since every single person on here has said the same thing to you.
