Sorry, first poll, plus I'm on mobile... Really goofed it. After hours of debate we're down to these 3. Love them all but worry, are we missing the "perfect" name for our girl? Open to suggestions...

  • Hazel is my favorite but Willa is an incredibly close second.

  • Gwen by a mile!
    Hazel and Willa have both always had a little bit of a homely sound for me. I know they're somewhat popular though so both names have their fans.

  • Gwen but I prefer it as a nn for Gwyneth or Gwendolyn. I don't think Hazel is pretty at all.

  • Thanks for your input, ladies. We've come a long way :) We both tend to learn towards "short & sweet".

    We also had Millie & Thea on our lists but cancelled each other's out.

    My concerns:
    •Hazel... Is that it might be headed mainstream... Think it could make it as far as a Jennifer/Sarah?
    •Gwen...Is it too plain?
    •Willa... I've always liked it & would love to honor my grandfather (William ) but is it too "out there"?
  • I like Willa more knowing the family connection. Other ideas for you-

    Mila, Paige, Wren, Fern, June, Willow, Mia

  • Hazel won't go too mainstream, I think.

    Gwen feels like a nickname, and Gwendolyn has been getting a lot of love lately.  I could see it getting as popular as, say, Olivia.  

    Willa - not too out there.  I still prefer Willow.  (Bad association.)

  • I voted Hazel but also LOVE Gwen! 

    The only one I'm not crazy about is Willa. But great choices overall!

    I really like them all but I voted Willa. It's the one I'd prefer to have as my own name.

    Some other suggestions:
    Daphne
    Liza
    Ruby
    Esme
    Deirdre
    Calla

  • Hazel is perfection to me but Willa is pretty darn close, you really can't go wrong with any of these

    Gwen is such a sweet name! I really like it.
    I can't stand the sound of Hazel.
  • Willa by a mile. I am one of the odd few that strongly dislike Gwen, and Hazel is too clunky to me.
