What do you think? Going through phases of loving it and then not being so sure.

I like it too and would have considered it more seriously except that I thought my LG would prob turn out blonde (I was right) and it feels like a brunette name!

MikeUniformMike · 06/09/2019 20:04

like it

Marshamello · 06/09/2019 13:23

Sorry OP but this name is simply god awful. It's just fuddy duddy, boring. It's a frumpy name.

I love hazel. I know I’m elderly hazel and think it’s absolutely great it is being used more now.
It’s pretty and strong and ‘complete’. Like it a lot.

I love it, I know a Hazel and she’s a fab person.

IsobelRae23 · 05/09/2019 11:33

Reminds me of my great aunt- hate it

SnowdropFox · 05/09/2019 07:29

Love it!

Mollie3 · 05/09/2019 06:59

I’ve never liked it sounds stuffy and old to me

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 04/09/2019 22:21

I absolutely love it, but it’s so popular at the mo. But it is is lovely

ABitOTT · 04/09/2019 22:17

I know a very old cantankerous Hazel so it's a no from me

RagamuffinCat · 04/09/2019 20:29

It reminds me of the lovely little girl on the programme Outdaughtered, so good association for me.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 04/09/2019 20:27

Love.

MissHenty · 04/09/2019 20:25

Ps. I know you said you go through phases but I think if you’re that type of person you’ll do that with any and every name. You’ve found a lovely name - go for it!
Oh and can you let us know? No one ever comes and reports back

MissHenty · 04/09/2019 20:24

Hazel is a lovely name !! Use it !!!

Keewee27 · 03/09/2019 20:30

I love it!
It holds special meaning for me as it was a close friend's name. She passed away the day after I found out I was pregnant with ds2.

I also know a lovely 9 year old Hazel.

Hermie12 · 03/09/2019 18:30

It’s my name. I’ve always liked it as it’s not too common but I think suits a child or adult

ScreamingValenta · 03/09/2019 18:24

Lovely, classic name - sweet but not twee if that makes sense.

Bananaboy9 · 03/09/2019 18:18

Love it

Haworthia · 03/09/2019 10:56

I know two toddler Hazels and one who’s around 11. I think it’s having a resurgence. I think it’s a strong name and a nice change from the frilly, twee girl names that are so popular.

Honeyroar · 03/09/2019 10:54

Love it.

Jellycat00 · 03/09/2019 10:53

Lovely! Becoming more popular if that bothers you. But it's a lovely name.

AverageMummy · 02/09/2019 23:07

I went through that phase with the name too (before discovering I’m having a boy anyway). It’s a lovely underused name.

LadyGAgain · 02/09/2019 22:40

It makes me feel sad due to it being the rabbit in watership down.

LittleMy20 · 02/09/2019 22:38

Really lovely.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 02/09/2019 22:33

Gorgeous. I know a 2yr old called Hazel everyone comments on her beautiful name.
