Do you think it suits you or have you always wanted to change it to something else?

I was chatting with my girls earlier and telling them the names we had as possibles for them before they were born.

Both hated the alternatives.......though I'm sure at some point they'll change around again.

I don't mind mine.........it's not my favourite but it's not one where you can *age* me...........

Don't think it particularly suits me though xx

No I hate mine, Hayley was a very unsual name in the 70's . My sisters have fairly common names and when we were on a day trips and would get brought pens or keyrings you could never get anything with my name on...the first time I saw a keyring that said Hayley I brought it......I was in my 20's...then were was the spellings and I would get called Hazel Heidi Hillary Helen anything but Hayley......or I was called Ayelee...without the H....

Muffy everyone is quite a bit younger than Hayley ;-)


I don't dislike my name but I'd have preferred to be called something different. There were 4 of us with my name in my class alone and several more in the same year and other years too.

[email protected] forgot to >>>>>>>run hon lolololol

My youngest has the same problem with her name........she has one other in her year at primary school and probably about 10 in the whole school sharing her name.

My fault really.........I knew it was quite a popular name but it was the only one we could both settle on ..........I'm pretty sure she'll curse me for it in the fullness of time xx
