FWIW... I agree that people asking about it isn't necessarily negative. Â I LOVE the name Hayes--it seems like a perfect boys name, especially if it's a family name. Â Even so, if I ran into you and Hayes at the park I probably would have asked you about it since I hadn't thought about the name before reading your post. Â

When people ask, try to explain the name with pride and assume their curiosity is a complement :) Â
