Hayley, because Halley's a last name.
I know two Hayleys and nobody with any other spellings / pronunciations
Hayley is grey for me, but it's a nice lively silvery-grey with a bluish tint, like the insides of mussel shells.

Hayley means "hay clearing" so at least this spelling makes sense to me. Between Halley and Hayley, I suppose I'd go with Hayley though I can't say I like either. I'd rather do Hallie or even Halcyon, nn Hallie. I've known plenty of girls named Hayley throughout the years (of all spellings).

Hmmm, I guess I'd pick Halley because it's more unusual. Hayley isn't bad though.

---

If I could chose spellings I'f choose Hailey for HAY-lee, and Haley or maybe Halle for HAL-ee.

---

I don't know any HAL-ees, but I know several Haileys, Haleys, Hayleys, and one Haelle (all pronounced HAY-lee).

---

I think HAL-ee seems more mature and HAY-lee seems younger and trendier (not like the name is trendy, but like a person named HAY-lee is likely to be a trend-follower).

I'd choose Hayley. I like the name, even though it's trendy. I think it's pretty.

I like this spelling, but Haley and Hailey are nice, too. I don't know anyone with the name, and they give off a very light green color, laced with pink.

I prefer Halley, but the spelling Hallie :)

I've grown to prefer the spelling Haley. One l. But I think the name is passé.

I prefer Hayley. It sounds nicer to me. I've met two people named Hayley and 2 named Haley. I've encountered little girls named Hayley / Haley / Hailey at the store and such, but I don't know the spellings because I didn't see them. I don't recall ever meeting another named Hallie, and I haven't met anyone named Halley.

---

Hayley makes me think of meadows, tall grass, and spring and summer weather.

---

Halley looks less feminine than Hallie. I prefer Hallie with this spelling. Halley is okay, but it seems more likely to be mixed up with Haley or pronounced HALL-ee, although Halley's Comet might help in terms of people pronouncing Halley correctly. It resembles the word "valley", so that might help too.

Halley

I prefer Hallie and Haylie, just as I think the ie lookes nicer thant the ey.

Hayley... every day and I only know two.

Halley

---

most definitely. I really cannot stand Hayley. Ugh, it just sounds so cheesy and spineless to me.... it reminds me a of a yipping ankle-biter. I'd stick with the Hayley or Haley spellings

Halle or Hallie are the best spellings for "Halley," imo. I know a girl I went to school with has a daughter named Hallie. Halle is just some much more refined and timeless sounding than trite and trendy Hayley/Hailey/Haiyleigh/blaarg

Hayley, for sure. Halley looks....wrong. Like a nickname, or a version of Halle. I don't know anyone with these names, but I've heard of girls here in Sweden named Haylie, and perhaps one Hayley. I like Hayley, Haley, Hailey and maybe even Haylie, but I think my favorite spelling will always be Hailey.
