Help[Opinions] Haley, Hailey, Hayley
What is your favorite spelling of this name?
Current US popularity charts:
#100 Hailey
#779 Haley
Hayley did not make the top 1000.
BQ: Do you still run into any little Hailey's? All the ones I know are around my age (mid 20's). How does the name feel to you these days? Does it feel a little dated along with the Amanda's and Jessica's?

I like Hayley > Haley > Hailey
I have never met a real life Hayley. I knew someone who named her daughter Hayley, but the child was stillborn. I've never met anyone else with this name, and I only know Hayley Mills or Bieber's wife as famous namesakes.
In my region Amanda and Jessica are from an earlier popularity period than Hayley.
With all that, it would actually be fresh new name in my region.

I like Hayley since it's the most retro. Hailey always felt cold to me, I guess because it's got hail in it.
Haley is my second fave. It's ok. It looks very surnamey.
I don't meet Haileys of any age, so it works as a baby name just fine for me I guess. It's starting to feel a little dated, yes. But not as dated as Jessica or Amanda.

I wasn't surprised when Hayley left the chart last year since it felt a little dated, but I wish its popularity had lingered a little more. I truly think the spelling Haylie (my favourite) went underappreciated when both Hayley and Hailey were at its peak. The latter also charted in many European countries.
I also love Haylie!!!
I like Hailey. Hayley is ok. Haley is ok if it's pronounced like Hallie.
It does feel a little dated, and I've had a dog with this name so it feels 'doggy' to me too.

My favorite is Hailey
I dislike all the spellings, but Hayley is the least objectionable.
Sad that Hayley didn't make it :(
for me I prefer ...and this may be an unpopular ranking...

Haylie

Hailey - I just don't like this one as much, reminds me of hail.
A few months ago I encountered a little Haley, probably around 6 years old! It was a pleasant surprise, especially next to names like Everleigh, Lakelynn etc.
