Baby two due soon and DS is Fraser. Struggle with girls names. Can’t decide between hazel or Stella. Hubby isn’t too constructive. Any opinions??

Try saying the names together.
I tried and got Hazel and Frazle!!
Love Hazel but not with Fraser sadly.

Stella. Beautiful name.

Chuckle2 · 09/07/2018 22:22

Hazel or Estella (not Stella)

Mybabystolemysanity · 09/07/2018 21:54

Stella was on my girls list for years. Cool, classic, elegant and won't date.

Theycouldhavechoseneve · 09/07/2018 21:50

Stella is derived from star, very beautiful name. I love Estelle too

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/07/2018 21:47

Stella

LostwithSawyer · 09/07/2018 21:46

Stella by a mile.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 09/07/2018 21:44

Both are fabulous under used strong names

LascellesMoustache · 09/07/2018 20:26

Got to be Stella, would you have the official name as Estelle or Estella or just go for Stella? All versions sound lovely to me. The beer thing I think you should disregard as people will associate the name with your daughter not the beer once they know her name, and it has such a lovely meaning.

Hazel is also nice but think its becoming quite popular in some areas, and not quite as pretty as Stella I think.

Good luck with choosing

Icklepup · 09/07/2018 20:17

Hazel

AuntieStella · 09/07/2018 20:16

I chose my username because I like lager.

Just because people shouidn't make an association doesn't mean they won't

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 09/07/2018 20:16

Estelle, with Stella for short?

DramaAlpaca · 09/07/2018 20:14

I like both, but would choose Stella as Hazel sounds too similar to Fraser.

Pemba · 09/07/2018 20:12

Stella is a gorgeous name with a lovely meaning. Ignore people who are incapable of making any other association than with a beer.

I should like Hazel, it has a nice sound, but somehow has a bit of a frumpy middle aged vibe.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/07/2018 19:49

Stella is a fabulous name !

Frosty66612 · 09/07/2018 19:48

Hazel is lovely.
Really don’t like stella

userabcname · 09/07/2018 19:47

Stella. I think it's classic and under-used.

MikeUniformMike · 09/07/2018 19:44

Stella.

daisypond · 09/07/2018 18:35

Stella by miles. Hazel is dated and dull.

Susannach · 09/07/2018 06:55

Like both, prefer Hazel but Stella works better with Fraser.

How about:

Nina
Vita
Violet
Greta
Frida
Lydia
Willa
Sylvie
Dinah
Simone

Stella

justforareply · 09/07/2018 00:29

Stella
Hazel sounds a bit soppy and I like sharper names

TatianaLarina · 09/07/2018 00:04

Stella. Hazel is a stripper and it rhymes too much with Fraser.

banannabreadforme · 08/07/2018 23:55

Hazel. Stella is a drink

schoty77 · 08/07/2018 23:42

Hazel is my mum's name. I like it, it is classic, one of those names that has been brought back. Might be a bit of a tongue twister screaming out Hazel and Fraser together though.

Stella was my dog's name. I know a few pups named Stella, so sorry, for me it will always be for a pet not a child!
