Baby two due soon and DS is Fraser. Struggle with girls names. Can’t decide between hazel or Stella. Hubby isn’t too constructive. Any opinions??

Hazel.

Love Stella

Hazel here too

Hazel

Artois?

Personally, I think Fraser and Hazel sound too similar, and Stella is lovely so I'd go for that.

Hazel is a lovely name. Stella reminds me of beer (sorry!!)

toomanyeastereggsurghh · 08/07/2018 21:30

Really don’t like Hazel but Stella is a great name. Doesn’t make me think of the beer at all.

FissionChips · 08/07/2018 21:33

Stella is a horrible name, just makes most people think of the lager (and the louts that drink it).

muffinthepuffin · 08/07/2018 21:34

Stella

Belindabauer · 08/07/2018 21:34

I've always liked Stella.

Fabricwitch · 08/07/2018 21:38

Hazel

notsolittlegrebe · 08/07/2018 21:50

Both really nice names.

Is she likely to have hazel eyes?

GreenBudgie · 08/07/2018 21:51

Hazel :-).

madeyemoodysmum · 08/07/2018 21:52

Hazel

Stella is awful

BikeRunSki · 08/07/2018 21:54

Stella is fabulous. String, snappy, unusual but not weird.
Hazel has always struck me as being a bit “meh”.

My niece is called Stella. The beer references dried up by the time she was about 2 weeks old.

AnyaMoondial · 08/07/2018 22:02

Hazel. Love it.

NeedSomeTimeInTheSunshiiine · 08/07/2018 22:23

Both lovely, winner. I think I prefer Stella slightly.

Picknickers · 08/07/2018 22:25

Hazel is 100% prettier

thisonebreath · 08/07/2018 22:32

I like both. We've got Estella on the list as DH didn't like the beer association with Stella.

lozengeoflove · 08/07/2018 22:32

Fraser and Hazel is far too similar. Hazel is fabulous, but not in that combo I’m afraid.

MaryandMichael · 08/07/2018 22:33

Hazel. That was my mother's name.
Really.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 08/07/2018 22:36

Hazel is miles better than Stella, but it virtually rhymes with Fraser.

Esther? Rowan? Seren, if you have any Welsh connections (same meaning, I believe)?

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 08/07/2018 22:36

Estelle is lovely, too.
