Hazel, Mae, Tess or Juno?

[Frazzlehead]

Which do you prefer as a sister to Fern and Quentin? Hazel, Mae, Tess or Juno? (She will probably be fair with blue eyes if that has any bearing).

Tess

Hazel or Tess

Ooh interesting, thanks everyone! Tess and Hazel seem to have the most positive reactions. Tess and Hazel are my favourites, but still have reservations about a blue eyed blond Hazel and whether Tess is too nicknamey. DH likes Juno best. I like it but not sure it would suit a slightly frumpy middle ages woman, which realistically is what she might become one day.

Tess. Don't like Mae at all. Hazel is a bit Watership Down. Quite like Juno.

I love Watership Down! That's one of the reasons I like Hazel!

Hazel, Tess or Juno are all good.

I don't like Mae.

That's your name then Frazz.

Briiiight eyyyyyyes....

My dog is called Juno, so I vote Hazel. Why yes, yes I am middle class and white. How did you know?

I wondered if for a second you were me! I have a Tess already and Hazel & Fern are on the list for another girl! Juniper rather than Juno is also on the list. But my vote goes for Tess (obviously) - I've never met another one but it is normal and very lovely

I'd say Hazel or Tess because Juno reminds me of the film.
If you find Tess too nicknamey would you prefer Tessa?

Tess or Juno

Great minds carlilark! I highly recommend Fern, never met another but everyone knows the name.
Lorlorr, I quite like Tessa but DH doesn't.

@Frazzlehead ours is a Tessa officially but only gets called that when being told off. Always a Tess

Tess x

I love hazel but it's too much of a theme when paired with Fern! Tess is beautiful! Really don't like Juno. Mae is lovely too.

Mae or Tess.

Hazel or Tess

Absolutely love Juno but it's what I called my first cat - after the teenage pregnancy film (she was an accidental kitten!). People may also associate Juno with that film. Not judging- it's an excellent film!

Tess.

I would say Hazel, but I think it will look a bit themes with Fern.

We have a Juno, so I'm biased. People fo associate it with the film, both positively and negatively. People will say "oh you named her after the film?" And I look at them blankly and reply "no, the space shuttle"

I think tess works very well with your sibling names

Not keen on hazel, don't think it would suit a fair haired blue eyes child imo.

Please not maw, six know the back teeth of that name.

I think Juno goes best 😊

#sick to the back teeth of mae stupid phone!

Love Fern and Quentin! I would probably choose either Hazel or Juno.

Tess!

Hazel is the only one I really like from those names (and I love Fern and Quentin), and I think it goes especially well with Fern.

Both Mae and Tess seem somehow "unfinished" to me. Could you have Mae as a nickname for Maisie/Maya/Mabel? Or as a middle name? I would suggest a longer version of Tess but Theresa might be a bit too political for an election-year baby!

Juno has too strong a connection with unwanted teenage pregnancy to me.

Tess also feels unfinished to my ears, it sounds like a short form of Tessa or Theresa.

But I prefer Hazel and Juno. Think they go really well with Fern and Quentin.
