One of the 9th graders in my homeroom is named Hawley. Usually I hate non-traditional spellings, but I love it in this case.

Hawley has a completely different feel to me than Holly does.

Thoughts?

It sounds like someone who can't say Harley.

I didn't even associate it with Holly at first.

I think it's incredibly ugly, to be honest. I think it looks masculine and sounds ugly. I emphasize the "HAW-ley" not like Holly, which I say like "Hah-LY."

It also sounds like a eastern accented version of Holly.

Yeah, I pronounced it that way too when I read it... Weird.

Yeah, I too didn't associate it with Holly at first. I don't get it.
