One name we are considering is posted below. I have seen 3 spellings of it and have no strong aversion to any of them. How would you spell it or which do you see most often?

    If you have to go with this name, Hailey, but it's soooooo boring. I am so tired of this name and it's countless iterations.

    I feel like there was just a post about this, so I hate being repetitive, but I totally agree with @wassuphoes. This name is capital B boring! So generic and not substantive at all. I much prefer Holly, Helena, Heidi, Hillary, or Halle. But my prefered spelling is Haley.

    One of the reasons I don't like this name is because there isn't a right way to spell it. Like Kaitlyn, no matter which you pick, she'll forever be spelling her name for everyone. I really prefer names that have one right way.

    My name is Hali :) But I don't care for the spelling that much. I like Haley. It's prettier when written. Good luck!

    Thank you, people who participated. I didn't really need commentary on whether you like the name or not, it was a spelling poll, but thanks for sharing. It's one that my husband and I both could agree on, which keeps it in the running for us. It is one of about 5 names we are considering still, so we will take spelling into consideration if we go with it! :)

    It sounds silly, but look to see how it's spelled on things in stores like license plates and things and go with that one. I did that when figuring out whether to use Lilly or Lily. I figured my future LO will be glad later in life to have the "typical" spelling.
