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 A

sea 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.
