Hazel?

Crissyjo30

When I was pg with DD Dh loved this name, I couldn't get on board. 

Now its starting to grow on me, and we are talking about #2....and I think it might be cute!

Thoughts?  Is it too matchy with Holland?  Our last name starts with H and is long/complicated (haha.)

Hmm. I do like the name Hazel, but it may a little matchy with Holland AND an H last name.

That pic in your siggy is ridiculous. I'm cracking up... hope that was the intention!

I am not a fan. I just don't think it is pretty.

I LOVE Hazel but I don't care for it with Holland and an H last name.  Too much H for me.

I like Hazel, but I think it might be too matchy matchy. That said, if you like the name on its own, then go for it.

This exactly.  Holland and Hazel, maybe.  But I think it is too much with a last name that starts with H.

What about:

Ruby

Stella

Carly

Fiona

I LOVE the name but DH doesn't.  I'm thinking with H...last name it is too matchy.

 Our names are:

Norah (Rose or Jean?? middle name)

Charlotte Rose

Mallory Rose

Natalie Rose

The name Hazel has long been synonymous with little old ladies in my family. In fact, my Great-Great-Grandmother was Ruth Hazel. I know it's becoming popular again, but I still think it's awful. Sorry.

I like Charlotte Rose and I love Natalie.

I can't see Hazel coming back. It's way too old lady.

It will be our (phantom) daughters middle name and SIL's (phantom) daughters first name. After DH's grandmother.

I can name at least 4 Hazel's on these boards alone, so I do think it is having a resurgence.

I know one Hazel and she is turning out to be a nut case.

I think it is nice!

I love it.  We liked it so much we named our dog Hazel last spring.

Too weird that holland (for a boy, though) and hazel (family name) are both on my list! I wouldn't use two H names especially with an H last name but that's my opinion because I had double initials growing up so I'm just not a fan.

Hazel is ADORABLE.  Holland wouldn't be the middle name right?  If Holland is your other DD and you have 2 little girls,

Holland and Hazel H(whatever!) that is about the cutest thing I've ever heard!!

I don't like the name Hazel AT ALL!  It's very old-ladish to me!  I do think Holland is very cute though

I love Hazel, but my DH doesn't, so we had the opposite experience!
