- Personal experiences with the name Hayley: | Edit
I'm Hayley and was born in '89, so I don't meet many Hayley's my age. I love my name and how it is spelled. No matter how you spell it, 'your Hayley' will probably be spelled wrong all the time, but it's okay. My mom named me after the actress Hayley Mills. Most people call me Hay or Hayles and I love that.
