Which do you prefer as a sister to Fern and Quentin? Hazel, Mae, Tess or Juno? (She will probably be fair with blue eyes if that has any bearing).

Ooh interesting, thanks everyone! Tess and Hazel seem to have the most positive reactions. Tess and Hazel are my favourites, but still have reservations about a blue eyed blond Hazel and whether Tess is too nicknamey. DH likes Juno best. I like it but not sure it would suit a slightly frumpy middle ages woman, which realistically is what she might become one day.

Hazel or Tess

Tess

Tess or Hazel "go" best with Fern and Quentin IMO. How about Maeve or Mabel rather than Mae?

Thatextrainch · 31/05/2017 14:04

Juno by far

Not mad on your othe choices but prefer Mae spelling

SuperBeagle · 30/05/2017 22:58

I like Hazel and Mae (prefer the spelling May).

Dislike Tess, and strongly dislike Juno, which will always be the knocked up teenager, or an abbreviation for "do you know..."

Tess or Hazel

Tess Smile

And Quentin is very cool.

Reow · 30/05/2017 21:19

Love love love Hazel. Like Tess.

Sick to the back teeth of Mae.

BrutusMcDogface · 30/05/2017 21:17

Tess.

I'm mystified as to why people love the name hazel; I find it ugly and it reminds me of a scarecrow (was there one in worzel gummidge called Hazel?!)

It would be boring if we all agreed, though! Smile

Given the names you already have, Hazel or Tess.

MackerelOfFact · 30/05/2017 21:14

Also I much refer June to Juno. June is definitely overdue a comeback.

MackerelOfFact · 30/05/2017 21:13

Love Hazel and it goes really well with your other DCs' names too.

witwootoodleoo · 30/05/2017 21:13

Hazel is gorgeous I like Tess too.

BackforGood · 30/05/2017 21:13

Really don't like Juno.
Don't like Mae either - or even May, which is slightly less bad.... always think it sounds like you are starting a question.

I do like Tess, but with the 2 names you already have, I think 'Hazel is more of a similar name.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 30/05/2017 21:11

Tess is lovely. I also love Juno, but its my dog's name

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/05/2017 21:10

Fern and Hazel seems too much so despite the fact I love Hazel I'll choose Tess

I like May also (not so keen on Mae) but dislike Juno strongly

IHeartKingThistle · 30/05/2017 21:10

Hazel and Tess are my favourite girls' names!

ThunderInMyHeart · 30/05/2017 21:10

Juno!

Blomme · 30/05/2017 21:09

Mae Smile

NoSquirrels · 30/05/2017 21:06

Hazel or Tess.

10Betty10 · 30/05/2017 21:05

Love Juno

Rockaby · 30/05/2017 21:04

Hazel is my favourite and also goes best with your other dc imo. So I'd definitely go for Hazel Smile.

greenmelon · 30/05/2017 21:02

Tess or Juno - if I had to pick one it would be Juno
