Hayley
One of my favorite trendy names, but it seems to have remarkable staying power for a trendy name.Which spelling do you like and do you get different images?I like Hayley and Haley. Hayley gives me sunny beach vibes and a yellow field with blue skies and I imagine an athletic girl. Haley gives me rainy city vibes and a girl who loves books. I like both images.Would you choose Haley or Hayley?Which is your favorite spelling in general? Hayley, Haley, Hailey, Haylie, Haylee etc.Which spelling is popular where you live?

Haley is the most common. I like Hayley, because it reminds me of old movie star Hayley Mills.
Hailey. Variants staring with "Hay" are a bit country/ranch, but I don't hate that.
Haley sounds more like modern, simplified, fresh version.
I'm not sure which one I'd choose. I think I'm neutral with all of them, besides Hailey that I like more.Their vibes are already similar, however I made collages with pictures from pineterest:
1. Hailey, Haley(?)

Tell me if they are too stereotypical uh :')
I find this name incredibly bland, in a satisfying way. Like a nice oatmeal cookie. It's got the same vibe as other satisfyingly boring names, like Lauren, Natalie, Emily, Leslie, and Jane. I don't have strong feelings about spelling, but I think I might like Hayley. It feels more 1960's dorky cute to me. Like Hayley Mills. I think of multi-coloured polka dots for some reason. I also kinda like Hailey? It feels strong somehow, like tough as nails. I think that's the spelling most popular where I'm from.
I can’t decide which spelling is my favorite, which always frustrates me, haha. I like Hayley, Hailey, and Hailee.
Nice and the most common way to spell it here is Hayley
Hayley reminds me of the countryside in early summer, clear skies, breezy, because of the "hay" part. Haley is urban and full of energy, like a city at nighttime. As for Hailey, it's modern and outgoing. I don't really have an image for this spelling.I would choose Hayley over Haley because it's the "original" spelling, but Haley isn't bad. Just not my style. My favourite is Haylie, it's youthful without being exaggerated. Overall, I like the name, but I feel it's dated, perhaps due to the multiple variants.This name is not used in my country, but Hailey is the trendy spelling in Europe. It charted in France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and even Sweden.By the way, the worst spelling I've seen (so far) is Haliey, and yes, borne by that girl who became a meme.

Hayley (and it's variants) remind me of Halyna. The name just gives me an image of a schoolkid. My favourite is Hayley or Hailey.There's no Hayleys of any spelling where I live. It's a modern English name, I live in Ukraine. But, say there was a Hayley in a book, it would be written as Хейлі (Kheyli) in Ukrainian.
Kheyli is a pretty spelling.
Near as I can figure, Haley seems to be the most common one around here. I like it a lot. I like Hayley, Haley, Hailey, and Haylee and Haylie.
I really like this name! My personal favorite spelling is Hailey. Between the two I'd pick Haley over Hayley, but I don't dislike any.
