Opinions on Hazel?

[BeansThatAreGreen]

Thanks!

BEAUtiful, totally on my list!

Love it!

Love it! Was on my list but didn't use it. DD now has lovely hazel eyes and is keen to add it as a middle name.

Lovely name

Every Hazel I have known has been completely lovely, but I do agree it sounds frumpy

Fabulous name mine

It is also one you have to be careful of as it sounds dreadful in some accents.

There isn't a "reason" why I'm not keen, but I'm not, really and I love nature names normally!

I really like it.

Admittedly not my favourite nature name, but it is really nice.

Was my first name, but at 9 I decided to use my very common, boring middle name because I didn't want to be 'different' and was horribly bullied.

Regret it all the time now, wish I had been brave and used it as an adult! If I ever leave my work I will use it in my new job

Frumpy and witchy.

It's lovely.

The only Hazel I know is my auntie who is in her 70s, but she is lovely, so I am slightly biased :)

Not keen! Reminds me of a middle aged woman!

It's a really nice name - not too popular, not too harsh, not too girly, easy to spell and pronounce. Also I can imagine it on a baby, a child, a teenager and an adult. Ticks all the boxes to me.

It seems an grown up name to me, I just can't imagine a baby with it, but I actually really like it.

My DD2 (aged 4) is called Hazel. I love the name although it was very unusual when we chose it but has rocketed up the popularity chart since then.
