Sky or Hazel for a boy

I like Sky and Hazel for boys, and was wondering what the general opinion was on their usability. Sky has been consistently used for boys in England and Wales, albeit fewer than ten babies a year, though Hazel has never registered as a boys name. I do like softer boys names generally and many like like Rowan, Robin, Sacha which are also well used for girls. For these names, I don't like them as girls names.

These aren't names I'm seriously considering using, mostly as I like other names more and it's a no from my husband anyway, but just wondered what other people thought of them

its a no from me I’m afraid.

I wouldn’t use either for a boy but out of the two I would go for Sky I guess. Hazel is just very feminine and I can’t see it suiting a male tween/teen/man.

Hazel is a terrible name for a girl as well as for a boy. I knew a Sky young man about 30 years ago. He was lovely and sporty.

No!

Please remember you are naming an adult!!

As above, I do not think any adult man would like either of those names.

I love the girls name Hazel but do you think any man would be happy to be called that? ‘Here’s our new IT technician Hazel’ ‘…oh, hi, we’re just waiting for Hazel, so we can start’ ‘..I am Hazel.’ X 8 decades.
