Baby Girl Name Poll!

Just curious to see which name is most liked among you ladies! The middle name options are family names so we are sticking with one of those and we want the first name to start with H to have the alliteration with our last name. Thanks for your input!

Helena Joyce, hands down! So classic, feminine, and strong. I love it.

Hazel is alright, but gaining in popularity and paling in comparison.

Please not Harper. Please. It's no where near as nice a name as Helena or Hazel. It's a surname. It's not feminine. It's too trendy right now anyway. Think of her as an adult. Think of her diplomas, resumes, wedding invitations, etc. Don't fall prey to this fad.

Helena Joyce! 

Harper is so trendy, I like Hazel, but Helena will stand apart!

Follow up question for @brita722 and @wassuphoes:
How would you pronounce Helena? I am worried about mispronunciation/ misspelling of this name because there are two popular ones...

He-Lay-na

I voted for Helena Joyce cause tbh the other two are getting too popular. Maybe my pronounciation is wrong but I would say it like Helen-a.

One if my friends is Russian and that is how she pronounces her name.

I know an American girl named Hel-ay-na, and a German girl named Helen-a. So maybe depends on what county you're from?

Hazel is NMS but I like both Helena (I pronounce it He-lay-na) and Harper.

I think the people saying that Harper isn't a girl's name and to consider her future resumes are ridiculous. It was a male name but it's clearly used on a lot more girls than boys nowadays. No employer side-eyes a girl named Ashley. It is trendy though and if that's a concern Helena might be a better bet.

I like Harper Joyce. I've never been a fan of Helena. Hazel would be my 2nd choice.
