Hallie -- it rhymes with alley and is not to be confused with Halle or Hailey or Holly -- is one of those comfy nicknamish names that are in favor in these complicated times.
Hallie's popularity has had its ups and downs. It was well used in the first four decades of the twentieth century, then dropped out until the early eighties, and has been consistently used ever since.
Singer Emmylou Harris has a daughter named Hallie.
