Hi. Think this is my first ever post. I'm really torn between either Jodie or hazel.

Has anyone got any feedback, thoughts?

Both sound quite dated to me, although if I had to pick one I'd go with Hazel.

Josie/Josephine is pretty and much more classic than Jodie which is very specifically 80s.

I really like Jodie.
(The one I knew was an awful person- but the name is prettyGrin).
I think Hazel is becoming popular and is likely to date badly due to to the recent surge.

Hazel, I love it. Jodie is awful.

Oh gosh, Hazel a million times over!

Both names have very different vibes to me.

Wow you couldn’t get 2 more different names if you tried. I like the vibe of Hazel but prefer the sound of Jodie. ITSWIM.
Jodie is dated if that bothers you. However dated also means unusual amongst her age group. Hazel I think will have a huge popularity surge and she could be one of many in her class. Again it’s only a problem if it bothers you.

Love Hazel. I think Jodie is a bit dated.

Both very dated.

Jodie is not nice. Hazel is okay but I cannot imagine a little Hazel now.

Not that keen on Hazel but it's better than Jodie, which is awful.

Hazel - a classic that won't date.

It looks like I’m in the minority but I really like Jodie. I don’t associate it with a decade so doesn’t sound dated to me; I think it sounds fresh compared to some of the names in the top 20.

I also really like Hazel so I think you have a lovely shortlist, but Jodie sounds nicer to me

Hazel. Jodie sounds like a nickname for something.

Hazel, it's lovely. There's a woman in my office with the name and I've always thought it was beautiful.

Jodie is also cute but not nearly as elegant.
