Hailey is too common to me and Haley looks like Halle, as in Halle Berry. Also concerned that Haley is spelled like Haley's Comet. This is my second round of trying to narrow down the spelling and think these are my three favorites. I appreciate the suggestions though!!!!

I also prefer the Hailey spelling, but I voted for Hailee, because I knew a little girl who spelled it like that and it fit her. Good luck!

Hailey is too common??? Uhh... its still the same name no matter how you spell it, this will just avoid confusion. Sorry, but that reasoning sounds silly to me.

FYI, Halley's comet is spelled with two L's and is pronounced to rhyme with "valley." Yes, some people say it like "hailey", but the correct pronunciation is to rhyme with "valley."

Also, IMO, it doesn't matter how you spell it. In school or with friends, it's said the same way whether you spell it Hailey, Haylee, Hailie, or Ha'ay-leigh. In class, her teacher would still have to say Hailey B. or Haylee S. to distinguish them.

Out of your choices, I like Haylie the best. Having "hail" in it makes me want to add an extra syllable -- like "hay-uh-lee" rather than just "hay-lee."

Good luck making your final decision!

Of the choices, I think Haylie is best. However, I really prefer Haley or Hayley.

I don't really care for any of these, but would have voted for Hailey had it been an option. ;)
