We are having baby girl and are pretty set on the name Hailey. My question is would you spell it "Hailey" or "Haley"? The middle name will probably be Michelle.
I wouldn't pronounce them the same. I'd pronounce Hailey like hay-lee and Haley like hal-lee. I like them both, but prefer Hailey. I know a couple Hayleys (my age), but I think that will be misspelled often.
Re: Which spelling would you choose?
I like the Hailey Spelling the best.
Hailey Michelle sounds beautiful BTW. =D
Agreed!!
This!

I see two entirely separate names there,
Hailey is Hi-leigh
Haley is Hah-leigh
If Hay-leigh is what you're shooting for, I'd go with Hayley.
I disagree with PP that Hailey = Hi-lee and prefer that spelling.
Though because of Hayley Mills (Parent Trap / Pollyanna) I have a fondness for her spelling.
