I don't mind it.My sister's name is Hannah and since we were small I have called her Hallie as a nickname. I think I came up with it by joining the beginning of her first name with the end of her middle.I have a good association with this name.

I love it and have considered using it but when I have mentioned it to people they think I mean Haley. If I was to use it, I would use the spelling Halle mainly because it is well known (Halle Berry) and therefore less likely to get mixed up with Haley.

It reminds me of Hallie Berry definitely. It's much nicer than Hailey. It also reminds of The Parent Trap, as one of the twins' names was Halley. It's not excactly my style but it's nice!

I think its better as a nn than a full name. I quite like it as a nn for Harriet.

If you're pronouncing it like Holly.. which is how HA-lee would seem to me, then I don't like it. If it's like Halle as in Halle Berry, then I like it. I would also like this spelling the best.

The pronunciation for that would be HAH-lee; long a, The way I'm prn. it-Ha-lee normally means short a.

Wait, what?You're pronouncing it HAH-lee? It should be HA-lee. Like blaaarg said. HAH-lee would be more like Holly.

technicality"long" means the vowel produces the sound of... the letter. So, Hay has a long Asea has a long E, high has a long I, hope has a long O, human has a long U. etc.I'd spell what you're saying as HAL-lee. And I like it as a NN, it's cute.

I don't really like it on its own, but I wouldn't mind it as a nn. If for Harriet though, there are other nns I like better.I don't see how Hallie could ever be pronounced like Hayley because that would defy English phonetics, but I've heard of someone being named Halley but it was pronounced like Hayley. The mind boggles.
