Hadley makes me think of the town in Massachusetts near Amherst that's called Hadley. There's nothing there but a buffalo farm, really.

I might like it for a boy, but not for a girl.

Hadley is surname! /nt/

Hadley's a pretty enough name. I used to love it a lot more...I actually named one of my characters Hadley. However, it's not one of my favourite names anymore, but it's still pretty cute. I may seem to stress this, but Hadley will last her well in life. It's definitely eye-catching yet not all that strange.

Hadley reminds me a lot of Harper, and though I like Harper better, I'm fond of both. They're not really my usual style, I guess, but they sound...professional? Strong? I don't know, I feel like they do, but they manage to be cute at the same time. Someone said they don't think it would age well, but then it's also been mentioned that Hadley was the name of Hemmingway's first wife, so I think it would age just fine.

Bleh

surnamey and unfeminine, and won't age well. Imagine Hadley and Samuel on a wedding invite.

Maybe it could be used as a nn for Harriet? Hattie is so why not Hadley? I'd much prefer it as a nn.

I kind of like it.

I like it. It used to be one of my top contenders, but it fell by the wayside. It's still cute, though.

Name of Hemmingway's first wife

I really like it (partly due to this association I think) but nevertheless I think it sounds really smart and spunky

I really like it!

I think it is a cute name. It's not my favorite though.
