Hazel

in Baby Names

What say ye, name board?  Thoughts and impressions?

Harper has been my #1 girl name ever since I met someone in college named Harper 12 years ago.  Fast forward to today and it's ridiculously trendy so I don't think we'll use it.  

I like classic names that are easy to spell and hard to mispronounce.  DS is Henry.  I don't know why but all of my favorite names start with an "H."  It's not intentional.

TIA!

    I think it's cute! I find it so refreshing to hear people introduce themselves with names that are normal enough that you don't question whether it's actually a name, but rare enough that you probably haven't met one before. This would be one of those for me!

    I love Hazel! It's pretty high on my list of potential girl names.

    I like it.

    My mom said it's "old-ladyish" though I don't agree. I also heard this is a "dog's name." Just giving you what I've heard from dissenters. (This is why you don't discuss names with moms and others you know IRL before baby is here). 

    If you like it, I say go for it. Henry and Hazel is a really cute sibset.

    Surprisingly my DH loves it.  I think he's just glad I found something other than Harper because he wasn't thrilled with that one.  :)

    Thanks for all of the positive replies, ladies!  It's good to know no one thinks Hazel is a total stinker.  Yet...  :)

    I obviously love it. It's actually my favorite of all my DDs names (but don't tell them that Wink) It just seems to be getting a wee bit trendy, which makes me sad, but I don't think it'll ever hit top 100.

    I go back and forth. Some days I like it. It's spunky and has an elegant charm. Other days I find it too harsh and slightly frumpy.

    Today I like it.

    Hazel is very popular in Oregon. There are two Hazels in our 2yo storytime at the library. One of the moms kept calling her daughter Hazy. Not a fan of that NN at all.

    I don't love Hazel with Henry though.

    I really like the name Hazel but it's my grandma's MN and she hates it so we didn't consider it for long.

    I have known 2 Hazels in my life and one was an old grumpy neighbor who hated kids and the other was a mean chip on her shoulder girl in high school. 

    SO the name leaves a bad taste for me.

    I think of this hateful old bitty at my Grandma's church but I like the name other than that. I think it's nice with Henry!

    I don't like it. It sounds too nasal-y to me. The sound is a bit harsh.
