I prefer DC's being the only one with their name in their classes (sorry to be one of them!Confused) it's just a personal preference.

I've really took a liking to the name Hazel but I've heard it numerous times in films, books etc. But I've never heard of one in real life.

So, do you know any? Do you think it's a fairly popular name? Do you like it/have any negative connotations? Grin

Two in a baby group I used to go to, one a mum in mid-30s and one would be 4/5 now.
A former colleague, must be 60ish now.
A friend's grandma, 90.
DSis's middle name, early 40s.
Friend's sister, about 30.

Yes, she is 41, lovely person, three kids, good career, not sure any of it is linked to being called Hazel!

Sounds like there are the odd few scattered across all generations but no heavy or concentrated usage of it.

ZebraKid71 · 03/10/2018 21:12

I know a few, all over 30, all lovely. Its a really nice name as long as. It doesn't get shortened.

I've been a teacher for 12 years and never taught a Hazel. I went to uni with a Hazel and a friend of mine has a 3yr old Hazel Smile

SueDunome · 03/10/2018 21:10

I know one who is 50 and another who is 13.

I'm a hazel in my 40s and I always got comments on what a lovely name I had growing up.I like my name as there isn't lots around and when I do meet another Hazel it's like being in a secret group Grin**

One aged 78, one aged five. Both lovely!

Furrycushion · 03/10/2018 21:08

My auntie was Hazel. She would have been 90 this year.

My brown owl in brownies was a Hazel, a big bossy plump woman!!!

Rebecca36 · 03/10/2018 21:04

I think Hazel is a very pretty name. You could bring it back into vogue!
It's so nice, no-one would object to being called Hazel. Wish I'd thought of it (don't know that my boy would have been happy though).

ApplestheHare · 03/10/2018 21:03

One in her 30s and one 2-year-old.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 03/10/2018 21:02

I know one baby and one in her 40s. I think it's a lovely name

mimibunz · 03/10/2018 21:02

I don’t like it at all, along with Mabel.

motortroll · 03/10/2018 21:01

My sister is called Hazel (she's 42). I teach a BOY called Hazel. It strangely suits him!!

I love it!

OublietteBravo · 03/10/2018 21:00

DS would’ve been Hazel if he had been a girl (he’s 12). I only know adults called Hazel.
