Baby name HAZEL - honest opinions please!

[bluecathy1978]

You have to stick to your guns and choose a name you like. We called our 3rd son Isaac even though my mum said she didnt like the name. It is your child and your choice and I think Hazel is a lovely name. We are calling our daughter Holly. I like lots of names and she would have been called Lucy but one of my friends used it for her daughter even though she knew I was planning on using it, (which was a little awkward when she told me!!) so I had to find another name. Funnily enough, the friend who did that, siad she wasnt too sure about the name Holly. Made me laugh We are still freinds though as she has helped me through some dark times this year x

Hi girls,

I love this name but said it to a few people and there was no great reactions, what do ye think? Other names we have are Heather, Mia, Jodie and Ella.

Would love some feedback please girls

xx

I like Hazel, and also Ella. Mia is nice as well. Not a fan of Jodie.

I really like it in a weird kind of way. I wouldn't choose it myself but I LOVE the fact that it's different and when she grows up she'll have a name that is unique and she'll stand out, but not in a bad way. It won't be to everyones taste so just as long as you're ok with those silent reactions (mixed with the positive ones of course) then I'd go for it!

I love Hazel! It's your child, so don't listen to anybody elses opinions

Hazel is a ridiculously simple, beautiful name.

 

[MummyHunter]

It is a lovely name and may be old fashioned but at least she will not have the same name as all her classmates

Ps, I would say I like it cos it's my name

It's my name too, and I love it, I also know a 1 year old called hazel and it's really sweet as a baby name too...granted there is the hazelnut, witch hazel and lezah backwards things, but overall I wouldn't want tone called anything else, a timeless classic.

my MIL was Hazel..we considered it but OH decided it would just remind him of his mother too much(she died recently) and he couldnt cope with that...but it is a beautiful name

Love the name Hazel. It's old fashioned, but old fashioned is getting more and more popular, I think.

When I was a little girl I loved this book I had about a witch named Hazel who had to lose weight to fit into her party dress. She finally got down to her goal weight but ate too much at the party and her big, veiny belly burst out of the dress. It was a great book and the art was so creepy.

Oddly enough... that is one of the reasons I love the name Hazel... XD

I like Hazel a lot, and Heather (because its my name )! I like being named Heather, except my husband is French and all his family, and basically every French person, has a terrible time pronouncing it. It always sounds like eeszare. Sometimes I tell people to call me Bruyere, which is the french translation of the flower Heather

Just wanted to bump this up, any more opinions, still love hazel

 

[Mintaroo]

LOVE IT. Love it so much that I would name a daughter that in a second, if it didn't sound horrible with our last name. It fits my criteria of: 1)People know how to pronounce it 2)It's not difficult to spell 3)It's unique but not "weird" It's absolutely perfect.


What are you thinking for a middle name?

 

[Karenesque9]

Love Hazel! It's making a huge comeback I'm also a big fan of Heather

 

[SharonF]

Still love it! It was number 1 girl's name choice for us, but we are having a boy. It's simple and beautiful!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

LOVE Hazel x

 

[jessief]

Ah thanks girls, I'm so happy most people like it, I hope people wont think its grannyish

 

[Bevziibubble]

I think it's a gorgeous name

 

[Vicyi]

Hazel & Heather are the nicest imo x

I love Hazel!! It's one of my favorites but my DH has a cousin who he dislikes named Hazel so it's a no-go, sadly.
