What is YOUR name?

Do you like it?

Have you ever wished you had a different name?  What was it?

Sorry if this sounds dumb but I can't figure out the difference between "Hay-lee" and "Hail-ee" :\

I'm with you on this one!! Both sound the same to me.

Maybe it's a regional pronunciation thing...

It is a regional thing...I was born and raised in NY so there's a big difference between the two (NY accents don't usually say "hay" for Hali). The difference is so slight and so it doesn't bother me like it used to when first moved to Florida...I was 12 then so I've since gotten over it ;)

It's okay, I forget that most people don't have the accent my parents had...I grew up in NY so no one pronounces it "Hay-lee," they pronounce it more like hail as in hail that falls from the sky. For most people there isn't a huge difference, so I don't mind be called "hay-lee" anymore. It used to bother me when I first moved to Florida, but I've gotten over it because it's not that big of a deal ;)
