I absolutely adore this name. I haven't ever met a Hallie so it's not overused and I love the uniqueness of it. I also love the name Hailey/Hayley but there is something about Hallie that makes it completely different but somewhat the same which is probably why I love this name so much.
My name is Hallie...but most people named Hallie its pronounced as 'hal e' but mine is pronounced as Hailey. I get irritated when people make fun of my name and call me the wrong thing on purpose.
My name is Hallie, and I love my name! However it can get a little annoying when people call me Hailey/Hayley. I had this one teacher in middle school who called me Hailey the entire year and finally on the last week of school she learned my real name. My middle name is Kate, and when I was really little it was originally a double name where teachers, friends, and my family called me Hallie Kate, but in middle school it gradually became Hallie. I only know one other Hallie and she's 4 years old, but I kinda like having a name where nobody really has it, the 4 year old Hallie and I call ourselves "name twins", and it's really fun. I think Hallie is a super pretty name and like it a lot better than the spelling of Halle.
I've always liked my name, especially my middle name my dad gave me (Eden).The normal complaints of pronunciation and spelling... in school I just went with anything close, gave up on trying to correct my teachers. Was always pronounced Haley or Holly and I always spell it out at Starbucks. When people ask how to say it I say 'Hallie as in Berry' and all my iPads are called HallieBarry because my favorite musician is Barry Manilow.Considering shortening to Hal as a pen name.
My name is Hallie - for years, it was mispronounced as "Hay-Lee" in my childhood and I just went with it since it was never corrected and just thought it was spelled out weird. I learned the true pronunciation when I turned 18 and was shocked - I liked "Hal-Lee" better and switched from that moment on. :)
Hallie is a good alternative to Haley, or Hayley, but I don't really like Harriet that much. Hallie can be a nickname for Henriette or Henrietta as well.

Hal-lee is how I pronounce this name. This name became popular around the turn of the century. My grandmother who passed away 6 years ago at the age of 95 years was named Hallie Edna. I always loved her name and I named my only child after her and my mother. Hallie Jean is my daughter's name (my mom's name was Elnor Jean). This name fits my daughter (who is 20 years old) perfectly and she loves her name. It's even beautiful to look at. I also love it because it is unique and not an everyday name. It's a name that is cute for a child but also elegant for a young adult and older person. Howard and Bernadette from the Big Bang Theory TV show just named their daughter Halley after the Halley's comet which has been mispronounced as Hailey's comet.. Yes, it's a pain because people call her Hailey but we just politely correct them. No regrets on naming her Hallie.
The best spelling of this name in my opinion. If I were to ever use this name, I would use this spelling. H-A-L-L-I-EOther spellings such as Halie, Hali, Halli, Halle and so on just don't look as pleasant.

I love this name. It's so cute and sweet. It's not too popular but not too unheard of so that's good. It also has a great meaning. I don't understand how the name Hallie could be confused with Hayley, which is pronounced Hay-lee, Hallie is Hal-ee and in my opinion much prettier than Hayley. No offense to anyone named Hayley. Also I dislike the spelling Halle to me it looks like its pronounced Hal... But Hallie is such a pretty name and I think anyone with the first name Hallie is very lucky to have this name. Just perfect.

My name is Hallie and I have to tell you, do not name your kids this. People confuse it with Hailee and it's super annoying! I should have converted to my middle (Rose) a long time ago but I haven't. I'll agree it's a pretty name and I like the nickname Hal but it's really hard because when I'm in a classroom and since Haylee/Hailee/Hailey or whatever is a common name there's about 40 in each class and when the teacher calls out Hailee I raise my hand and so does everyone else. I'm always first on the list because of my last name and just... just don't name your kids this.
My name is Hallie, I love my name except I find it annoying when people pronounce it Hay-lee when it's supposed to be pronounced Hal-lee. The difference between the two, Hallie/Halle is it's spelt with 2 L's while Haley/Hailey is usually spelt with 1 L.

Beautiful, beautiful name! Unique, too! I have a friend with this name and its pronounced with a "Ha" sound like in "Halloween." I just love it. :)
Um, no, Hallie and Haley/hailey/hayley/whatever creative spelling people are coming up with these days is not the same name at all. Hallie is supposed to be pronounced Hal-lee! Haley is an annoying, overused, modern and childish name that has nowhere near as much history as Hallie! Anyways... I think this is a cute name. I wouldn't use it, but I like it.

I was given this name, and I love it! My mom pronounces it HAY-lee but I answer to both that and HAL-lee. They're both beautiful names, but it's really hard for people to pronounce and spell when it's on paper. It gets a bit annoying. But I do like the fact that my name isn't spelled like Haley or something boring like that.
Always thought this was a cute name and it would work for either a child or an older woman. Personally always thought it was "alley" with an H in front of it. Still very lovely :)
It's a nice name, but I'm afraid it will be hijacked by people who will use it as an alternative to the childish Hailey, or worse - pronounce it the same way!
Love this name! It is cute yet sophisticated, the best of both worlds! However some people may confuse it with the horribly popular names Haley/Haily/Haleigh.

Hallie is one of those names you think "Oh, how cute and original!" And then you name your kid that and they go to school and get called Haily and Holly. Take it from someone who's name is Halley. I personally hate my name, and am considering converting to my middle (Rose) when I reach high school.Trust me. Naming your kid Halley is like naming them Autumn. Nice name- IN THEORY. And then your kid comes home complaining about how they got called Holly or Adam all day. It's not worth it.
I love the name Hallie, I first heard it on The Parent Trap and thought it was kind of boring, but then I looked it up in a really old baby naming book, and it said: Hallie-Greek-Thinking of the seaWhich no one agrees with, but I think that definition comes from the name Helle. I plan on naming my first daughter Hallie, and that's the definition I'll use. Also, Hallie is a way better name than Hayley. They are totally different.
One of my friend's names is Halley, and I think it's really pretty and unique but I prefer the Hallie spelling of it. Hayley is way too overused and I really don't like it, but Hallie is a breath of fresh air. :]
I first heard this name on Disney's The Parent Trap. I think it's a cute, spunky sort of name and definitely independent of Hayley. Hallie combos I adore include: Hallie Kate (or Hallie Katherine/Kathleen nickname Hallie Kate), Hallie Elizabeth, Hallie Piper and Hallie Rose. I adore this name!
I love this, but only if it's pronounced Hal-ee. In my opinion, the Hail-ee pronunciation and the Hay-lee pronunciation have different spellings. But anyway, I love it, and I think it's adorable with Rose as a middle name, Hallie Rose.
Being named Hayley, I can't begin to tell you all how annoying it is to be called any other variation of the name. For instance, Hal-ee or Hail-e when it should clearly be HAY-LEY. It's not rocket science. I don't know how all these variations that are spelled to be pronounced so differently ever became variations at all.
