"Expecting a girl in January 2016 and we're calling her Hadley Megan. My fianc? and I are huge Ernest Hemingway fans so his first wife's name seemed a natural and meaningful fit. The Megan part is after his (my fianc?'s) grandmother. Being from the UK, there isn't really many people with Hadley as a first name. It's more common as a surname. But I love it! It's strong and when teamed with a girly middle name it becomes really feminine. We've had so many compliments already and she's not even here yet!" Aug. 19, 2015:

It's kind of sad that it's becoming more popular, but I guess that means more people are realizing how awesome the name Hadley is! It is kind of annoying when people think my name is Haley and when thay pronounce it as Haydley or Hadely, but it usually gets sorted out quickly. I love the name Hadley!" Mar. 17, 2012: 
"We named our daughter "Hadlee Ashton". I wanted her to have a Sassy Southern Belle name. As well as a formal name for events. Hadlee fits her so well. We LOVE it, and I get compliments all of the time about how unique her name is. I believe it is the new "Emily", Or "Hayley"!!" Feb. 27, 2012: 
"My name is Hadley Elizabeth, I'm 40, and named after Ernest Hemmingway's first wife. It's sometimes confused for a male name so I often include my middle name. When I was a kid I wished I could find things with my name on it but obviously not an issue once I grew up. It's easy to pronounce when it's read, but people don't often listen and hear all sorts if other names when I speak. Doesn't bother me, I like the uniqueness and that it sounds strong. Hadleigh seems like a more feminine way of spelling it, but loses the unisex nature." Feb. 26, 2012: 
"I plan to name my daughter Hadley Joy my mothers name was Joy and she passed away when I was 18. I hope she loves it as much as I do." Feb. 7, 2012:

But a couple years ago, I got a necklace with my name on it and my mom always says that she owes me because it took her so long to order and get for me. Anyways, I LOVE THIS NAME!" Jan. 6, 2012: 
"Our first daughter Hadley Veronica was born in November of 2008. It suits her perfectly! I heard it in a movie years before her birth and it stuck with me. We love it!!! Different enough, but not really out there." Dec. 7, 2011: 
"We names our daughter, Hadley Madison. I love the name! We do get looks like huh, you named your daugther that? But no matter what my husband and I love the choice and we know she will too!" Dec. 2, 2011: 
"Try to keep this short. We struggled with infertility for years and I decided to put HAVFATH on my tags, just a daily reminder to myself to have faith, knowing that God would let me have a baby, one day. Anyways, we received a chance to adopt a new baby girl and had less than 2 months to prepare and I could NOT find a name that I loved, wanted it to be unique but not crazy either. Saw Hadley and FELL IN LOVE, knew that it was to be my baby's name.
She was born and since we thought she was a boy... I was ecstatic to find out she was a girl! Nurse asked if we had a name picked out and I blurted out "Hadley Faith" without even asking my husband!! Neat thing is, for years I looked at "have faith" on my tags, and now I have my Hadley Faith forever! LOVE the name.
We do find that people tend to want to call her Hailey which is okay, if there strangers I don't bother correcting them. Everyone has seemed to be very fond of the name and often ask if it's a family name." Sep. 11, 2011:

"My name is Hadley Michele. My parents named me after Hemingway's first wife. I am 24, and up until a few years ago people had never heard of anyone else with my name before. I was always asked if I went by Michele. I am glad that so many people like the name, but a little disappointed in the popularity that has come with it. I feel like every time I tell someone my name, they say "Oh I know someone who is naming their little girl that!" I must admit, I get a tad annoyed by it." Aug. 31, 2011: 
"My name is Hadley Elizabeth and I LOVE my name. A lot of times when i tell people my name they think is Kathleen. Aparently they sound the same. But I love the name! I think its cool when its spelled Hadleigh" Jul. 28, 2011:

She does still get called Hayley from time to time but she is quick to correct them and doesn't seem to mind. In kidergarten it was easy for the kids because there was a Hayley in her class as well so the kids learned to differientiate." May. 19, 2011: 
"well i've been hadley ann for 30 years now have noticed its starting to get popular. i've met 2hadley's in my life so far and i like it that way it is still nice to hear people say i love your name or we have never heard that name before or you're the first hadley we have met. so that is nice to hear, so please call your childern something else and don't ruin our name or turn it into a jenn,sara,madison,or any of those common names. i like the uniqueness and would like it that way" May. 15, 2011:

"I am pregnant with our fourth child, third girl in a row. The other girls are named Lillian Fae and Emma Louise. We are seriously considering naming this baby Hadley Christine. We LOVE it, but we are running into a bit of a glitch. My maiden name is Hadley and we are worried that our family or friends who knew me prior to our marriage will think it's too much of a stretch since they are already familiar with it as a surname. We would love to name her Hadley, but I feel slightly self-conscious about it, like the family won't ever be ab;e to separate it from LONG historical family surname to our daughter's name. Any input would be cherished!!!" Feb. 6, 2011: 
"Our daughter is named Hadlee Zara, I love the name and I get both positive and negative attitudes from it. I like it as it is not common, my son is called Stirling. Each to their own and I think and if people don't like it they should keep it to themselves." Jan. 23, 2011: 
"My daughter's name is Hadley Caroline. We love it because it's original. It is a family name for us, so it has significance. Some negatives if your're considering it: kids often call my daughter Had-a-lee and that bothers her and older people tend to call her Hailey. My daughter also just told me she has an issue w/ it because it's not on "anything" because it's "rare". I know as she ages, she will appreciate it. As for now, we'll just have to order stuff personalized and apologize when she can't buy a pencil w/ her name preprinted on it or a license plate off one of those turning displays at a store." Jan. 9, 2011: 
"My Grandmother's name was Elizabeth Hadley Rieger so we choose for our daughter, Hadley Elizabeth. She is 15 and loves her name. We did not know anyone with that name until after her birth and then started to hear

"We named our daughter Hadley Blythe. I love that both names are english surnames and how feminine and cheerful they sound.

"Having struggled with my name my whole life, I can understand the motive of not wanting to have a "different" or "weird" name...My parents named my sister Rebecca Lynne with no significance, then decided to stick me with Caroline Marjorie, the names of my great-grandmothers [2 of each, go figure!] - It took til I was 19 to appreciate having a different name [Caroline - not terribly common] and was made fun of more for my middle name than anything. With respect to the struggles of me and my brethren, I LOVE the name Hadley.
I have grown up spending my summers in the Adirondacks, at our family property on the Sacandaga lake. Needless to say, it is so remote there isn't even cell phone service - but it is incredibly beautiful and my favorite place in the world. Growing up with a 'dated' name, I actually learned to respect the family history...not only is it pretty, but it is also the name of the place where my husband and I met and fell in love...so at the risk of sounding passe' - great name :0" | |
