From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Hailey yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Hailey climbed to rank 19 in 2010. The most births it ever recorded, 8,798, had come seven years before that, in 2003 — top-twenty placement on materially fewer births than it had managed at the start of the decade. It has since fallen 43%, to 2,620 births and rank 100. Recorded from 1963 with 179,122 births, essentially all after 1990. The single listed bearer is Hailey Bieber, born 1996, who is younger than the name's rise and cannot account for it. Haley, Hayley, Haleigh and Hailee split the same sound between them, so this is another entry where the spelling shown captures only a fraction of the children actually answering to it.
