Do you like my girls name and spelling?

[Babyluv]

I really like the name but prefer the traditional spelling. I've never been a fan of changing the spelling of a name, it seems to be a bit of a fad at the moment.

I really like the name for a little girl, but TBH I think those spellings actually make the name look more harsh and masculine. Sorry.

a friend of mine has a little girl Bailie. i prefer tradition spelling though

bailea is nice. and timeless. you could grow old with bailea, but baylee (which I read as bayleaf) and bayley (which I read as barley on first glance) don't seem timeless and are a bit awkward.

Ultimately though, the name you choose will be the right one. "a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet"...

[NaeNae]

I prefer the traditional Bailey too, sorry I just don't think I like the other spellings for it. Nor do I like bailea only because it has the option of becoming Bai - Lee - Ah with the A ending.

Its a cute name - would never have thought to use it for a girl but I think its really sweet.

Actually I don't mind this spelling!!

I have a normal name with a whacky spelling and it's a nightmare. Just go with Bailey.

I'm not a fan of Bailey but if you must use it please use the traditional spelling.

It's hard as a person when you have a name that no one is 100% sure how to pronounce. I guess that's how I feel about baylea and baylee etc etc... nice name when you are told how to say it, but I'd rather not have to be told.

I like baylee looks girly, but then she will forever be spelling it to people so maybe stick with Bailey

[Amy_jellybean]

We have chosen this name for a boy (if we ever have one!) But we will be going with the traditional spelling Bailey

I am a fan of traditional spellings.

DD2 is Marley. And TBH, I really REALLY wish I had spelt it Marlee. For this kind of name (Ashley, Marley, Bailey) where it is so androgynous, I can totally understand the need to make the name a bit more obviously feminine. Bailey is a traditional spelling, but traditionally the name was masculine.

I prefer your Baylee. It is not like you are taking 'Natasha' and turning it into 'Naytarschya' just for the hell of it.

FWIW, my DD1 is 'Charlotte' - you would not believe how many times I have to spell THAT to people. O_o
