Love it, as we used it for our LO. It is a family first name on my H's side of the family. We paired it with a very traditional mn of Katherine and call her Hadley Kate.
I don't like it. I don't like the new trendy H names....Harlow, Harper, hadley.
Ha ha! And I LOVE all three of those names. I wouldn't use Hadley myself because a friend used it recently and it's the ln of one of my former teachers (so I have some weird associations with it)...but I DO like it!

I love it! It's one of our top two names *if* we ever have a girl. It first caught my attention on a show called 'Southern Belles,' the girl's name was Hadley Hartz. I also think the nn Haddie is great!
I first heard of this name in Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels as the name of Sookie's angsty/tragic vampire cousin. I like it OK, but it's not a name I'd personally use. (Not because of the vamp connection; it's just not my style.)
I think it is a great option for Mom's named Heather in the 70s and 80s to pass down their name, for Dad's to honor their sisters. Hadley means heather (the flower).
Re: Hadley?
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
I think it's an adorable name. DH was not a fan, though.
That's why I love the name.
О Привязать! Z!
