Hazel - ok
Luna - lovely
Gwen - Gwendoline is ok

PurpleChrayne · 21/09/2023 22:10

Hazel is nice.

Gwen has an ugly sound and reminds me of that one from Mallory Towers.

Luna is despicable. A dog's name.

Cressie2 · 21/09/2023 22:09

Hazel is lovely

theduchessofspork · 19/09/2023 22:59

I like Gwen a lot

Luna is looney

Hazel is ok

HoliHormonalTigerLillyTheSecond · 19/09/2023 21:47

Hazel or Gwen.
Not Luna!

WeWereInParis · 19/09/2023 19:20

Don't like Luna or Gwen.

I only like Hazel. It's really nice.

princessrapunzel · 19/09/2023 18:36

My dd was almost named hazel, it was my grandmas name and it is beautiful but it ended up her middle name instead.

Luna i always think of dogs (i work with them so alot of names remind me of dogs) but it is pretty

Gwen is very different but not to my liking

minipeony · 19/09/2023 18:27

I hate Luna sorry. It's all Harry Potter or a dogs name. It's had its time.

MerryChristmasToYou · 19/09/2023 18:27

Not Gwenivere, it's hideous. It's Guinevere.

pamshortsbrokenbothherlegs · 19/09/2023 17:31

I like Hazel and Gwen; I don't understand the harsh comments on the latter, to me it's quite a soft sound! But I do favour Welsh names.

Luna is quite trendy and already sounds dated and frankly, forgettable to my ear.

Daffodilwoman · 19/09/2023 17:29

I only like Hazel.
I also think Luba will date badly. I don’t like Gwen. It reminds me of Gwendoline from Wallace and Grommit.

LastNightAPandaSavedMyLife · 19/09/2023 17:27

I don’t like Hazel at all and don’t understand its popularity. To me it’s frumpy and reminds me of someone with an 80s perm.

I know a little Gwen, wasn’t sure at first but it’s just her name now and suits her.

I like Luna but it will date. It’s also a popular dogs name.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 19/09/2023 17:26

Gwen is the nasty girl from Malory Towers. Hazel is a bunny. I like Luna.

Mumofgirls2017 · 19/09/2023 16:43

Luna
hazel
gwen

that order. Luna is pretty, Hazel too.

KayEmAy · 19/09/2023 16:42

Hazel and Gwen are lovely but I adore Luna :)

itsmyp4rty · 19/09/2023 15:56

Hazel is lovely. Luna is too Harry Potter and dating quickly. Gwen is really harsh and horrid sounding to my ear, Gwendolyn is though worse and just sounds like the name for a freaky doll to me.

PickledScrump · 19/09/2023 15:49

Gwen is lovely, Luna is nice but overdone, not a fan of Hazel.

Lifeinlists · 19/09/2023 15:32

I wouldn't be thrilled with any of those tbh

Louoby · 19/09/2023 15:30

I dislike all,
Sorry!

Freezingcoldinseptember · 19/09/2023 15:28

Gwen is grim. Luna for a poodle..
Hazel is gorgeous..

JanesBlond · 19/09/2023 15:27

Hazel is the nicest of your three. I agree with PPs that Luna is more of a dog name. Gwen is a bit meh on its own, I prefer it as short for Gwendolen or (less so) Gwyneth
