Hallie makes me want to pronounce it so the first syllable has the same vowel sound as "cat", while Hayley and Hailey make me want to pronounce them so the first syllable sounds just like the word "hay." I like the latter pronunciation more, so I don't really like Hallie.

Merit and Birch I find mighty ugly.
