Hailey is also used as a masculine given name in English. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".

Hailey is an okay name, not a good name but not a bad name either although this spelling of the name Hailey is so much more better then other spellings of Hailey
Overall if you want to name your daughter Hailey then go for it. I think a middle name that goes well with Hailey is Anne.

It's an attractive name. It reminds me of a field with flowers of many colors. And this is my favorite name starting with H.

The best spelling, because Haley looks like it’s pronounced like Halle, Halle looks like it’s pronounced hail/hall, & Hayley and Haleigh look made up.

Welllllllll, my friend isn't quite "famous"! But, if you're in the youtube editing community (particularly the Melanie Martinez side) you might know her as "Hailz" or even "Luvs4Hailz". She has 800+ subs. She's so amazing! Go sub to her rn, it would make her sooo happy.

Looking back at the comment I left on this name at some point in the past, I think nowadays Hailey (spelled this way) might actually be my favorite feminine name ever. I feel like it's really cool and can fit any type of girl, whether she's a tomboyish girl or more of a girly type. I used this name for a character that I use quite a lot on my YouTube channel.

Hailey is a really common name for people in my generation. I remember that my freshman year of high school, there were 5 Haileys (all different spellings!) in math. Of all of the variations, I like Hailey and Haley the best. Hailey is a pretty solid name and I love how it sounds.

I’m a Hailey. I am not in love with my name but I do like it. Where I am there is a decent amount Haileys my age but not nearly as many Sophias and Isabellas. It suits me, it is sweet yet spunky just like me! Every other Hailey I have met spells it a different way which probably gets confusing for teachers. I’ve never had to be referred to as Hailey G. And whenever it is hailing outside I can say it is a very Hailey day (it never gets old). So if you're thinking of naming your child Hailey go for it. Overall it is a pretty good name and is getting less popular now too.

First, Hailey is NOT a stripper name. My name is Hailey and I am not a stripper. I am also not a chicken. I love my name and no one can change that. In my opinion, I love the name. It is not very common and has TONS of nicknames.

Pretty enough name, but it is spelled Hailee, Haley, Hayley, Haylie... so many ways. And I know a ton of Hailey's, from being born in 2003. This name is better then Haley because with Hailey, I see it as Hay-Lee whereas Haley is Hale-y.

Hayley and Haley look a little childish compared to Hailey.

I love my name. It’s spelled “Haley” but, there are no good nick names for it. Ley? Maybe. Or Halo. But, I feel like my name is childish. It’s reminds me of the girl from Wreck it Ralph. I wish I had a cool name like Nicole or just something unique. There are so many Haley’s and I’m just not special. And everybody spells my name with an i. How much is it to change your name? I guess the name is kinda cool. There is a comet named after it “Haley’s Comet”.

I kind of prefer this spelling to "Hayley" to be honest. I don't know, just the fact that it'd be spelled the same as "hay" for horses is a bit off-putting. It just looks softer. I didn't know too many Haileys in school but the few I did know were very nice.

I love the name Hailey. I have a niece named Hailey & we call her Hail often. It suits her. I didn’t think I would like the name Hailey because it’s so popular & I grew up with many Hailey’s I was not a fan of. But now I think the name is more sophisticated & is cute when she’s a baby but mature when she is an adult!

My name is Hailey and nobody ever knows how to spell it right. They always spell it Hayley or Haley. Any time I go somewhere and I want like a bracelet or necklace with my name on it, it is never spelled right. I know many people with that name at my school and they all spell it differently. No one spells it like me, which is cool so it's original. I know people that spell it these ways: Hayley, Haley, Haileigh, and Haylee. I think they are all pretty unique in their own way.

This spelling is originally an Irish surname. And nothing whatever to do with the hay field or meadow or the first name of mainland Britain.
It is from NW Ireland, county Sligo and was most likely from the ancient name ohealaighthe meaning ingenious or perhaps also oheilidhe meaning claimant.
Modern variations of this name are Haly, Haley, Hely, Healy, Healey, O'Healey, O'Haly... etc.
I am the original Hailey (unless you know any Haileys born pre- 1976) because I was named directly from this family name, for my first name.
So in short, Hailey means ingenious.

Also, we pronounce it hAl-i. Like no stressed syllables and barely the tiniest I sound at the end that I wouldn't even call a syllable at all just an exhalation. Please DON'T call me HaIy-Leayy [high; lie] Or HaI-leEE [HAY; Lee]

This is my favorite spelling variation of this particular name. I doubt I would ever use it but if I did, I would, without a doubt, use this spelling.
Tons of names end in that "EE" sound, many of them excellent names.

I like the name Hailey. I think it's beautiful. I also think it's kinda funny when people say Hey-Lee. I don't care that people spell it wrong, you could just tell them there is an I.

I love this name so much. Everyone I know says it's unique so I don't care if people don't like it because they are so jealous they don't have such a pretty name. I am happy my parents named me this though I took it for granted a lot because I hated when people made fun of it. I found it was a pretty name to name your little girl (so parents please do name your kids this- they will thank you in the long run)!

Why classify all Hailey's in a group calling them all strippers and ugly? Like seriously! My best friend's name is Hailey and she took this seriously and she got really sad and felt ugly. So just because you don't like this name or if it reminded you of someone bad just keep it to yourself!

Hailey is my actual name and I love my name! It does get annoying when people misspell it but you can misspell about every name! It's also not a strippers name. I don't know why you would even think that! I believe that it's a very pretty name and some people only say that because they may know one Hailey that was a bad person or was a good person but just broke up with them so if your name is Hailey like mine, don't take it to heart, you're beautiful!

How is this a stripper's name? Stripper names are like are like Anastasia or Persia. I think it is a beautiful and poetic name. The ratio of vowels to consonants is perfect. Love this name!

One of my best friend's name is Hailey. She said she gets annoyed when people pronounce it HAY-lee, because it's supposed to be HALE-ee, with the first syllable rhyming with "bail." It's a cool name.

I read a comment about someone saying it reminded them of a hail storm. Just wanted to say don't name your child Hailey Storms. They will have a life of being made fun of when it hails. Other than that, I love my name!

Such a gross, disgusting name. Why would someone give their child a stripper name? It makes me think of chickens every time I hear it. More like a pet's name than a human's. How pathetic.

My name is Hailey and I used to hate it when I was younger. Im 13 now and it probably wasn't until last year that I actually learned to love my name and that's when I heard people I cared about saying it over and over again. I would love it if it could be spelled "Haylee" THAT would be cool, but I honestly love my name and couldn't imagine myself as anything else anymore.

This is my name. However, I pronounce it HAIL-EY. I constantly correct people because they say HAY-LEY. And it really annoys me when they do that. Just think of saying hail (like the weather) and than Lee. It's not that hard, people. Also, the meaning of the name is wrong. The meaning is different for each spelling.

This is an okay name. WAAAAAAY too popular and overused, though. It isn't good enough to be as common as it is, I think. I like it spelled Haylea.

I really like this name, one of my best friends name as well. She spells it Haileigh. I like the speling Haylee the best but either way I think the name sounds great! If I didn't know her well I would always pronounce the "eigh" as "ay" like hailay.

@rhysse just to clarify, "eigh" and "ay" are the exact same phoneme. In other words, they sound exactly the same. Everyone on here talking about pronunciation is wildly incorrect. I quote from Billy Madison...
"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

My name is Hailey. Personally I don't care much for it, I don't like the hay part. But I can sort of understand why people would like it and I liked reading all your positive comments about it.
My mom said she picked the spelling Hailey because of hail, as in adore or worship. I always thought that was cool.

Hailey's my name. I can't say I really like it. People always misspell it. I've met a handful of other people with my name too. If you want to name your kid Hailey, or a form of it, go with Haley because no one misspells that.

I agree that this name is ugly! It's not really pretty, no good nicknames, sounds like it belongs to a horse rather than a human. Just pointing that out. It's my opinion, that's all.

I feel like I am in the minority here but I honestly think this is an ugly name. Hayley, Haley, Hailey, any spelling is unappealing to me, though I think Hailey is the worst. I don't like the sound, the long a and long e don't sound good together, in my opinion.

My best friend has this name, and so does another close friend. Which is really cool because my name is Bailey, so it's Hailey and Bailey! I think this name is very pretty, but very plain. I've seen "Haley" but that's the name of our current (male) governor, so I personally think that "Haley" is more masculine and I prefer this spelling (Hailey).

This is my name. And here are some reflections for people thinking of naming their kids this.
1. Everyone spells it wrong!
2. A lot of people pronounce it badly 'hay UH lee' it sounds kind of phlegmy!
3. I spent years at highschool being greeted with "Hey Hai!"
Don't do it folks!
