I prefer DC's being the only one with their name in their classes (sorry to be one of them!Confused) it's just a personal preference.

I've really took a liking to the name Hazel but I've heard it numerous times in films, books etc. But I've never heard of one in real life.

So, do you know any? Do you think it's a fairly popular name? Do you like it/have any negative connotations? Grin

I know 4.

One in her sixties, one in her thirties, one in her twenties and one who is a teen.

Lovely name.

From the 70s - one of my classmates.

I love the name ... it conjures up a feeling of nature and resilience and a sense of freedom.

Armchairanarchist · 03/10/2018 21:56

My sister, aged 52.

BikeRunSki · 03/10/2018 21:57

I know one who is10.
My primary school headmistress was also called Hazel. She’d be about 80 by now.!

Screamqueenz · 03/10/2018 22:33

Lovely name, and not very common, I only know one in their 40s

Haworthia · 03/10/2018 22:36

I know one baby and one who’s about ten.

PipGoesPop · 03/10/2018 22:45

I really like it. You don't hear it often.

Monday55 · 03/10/2018 22:47

Yeh I know 2 Hazels and they're both lovely black African ladies in their late 20s

Novasglow · 03/10/2018 22:56

I know one, unfortunately she's a few sandwiches short of a picnic :/

Picknickers · 04/10/2018 00:42

One of our dogs...because she's a little brown nut! Wished I'd saved it for a d's though.

SleightOfMind · 04/10/2018 00:47

I have an aunt by marriage and a friend at school but I’m in my forties. Not heard of any new baby Hazels
It’s a lovely name.

DC18 · 04/10/2018 01:32

I know 4 Hazels all adults between 30 and 45 yo. I've not heard of any children with the name Hazel though. Its a nice name x

moredoll · 04/10/2018 01:38

Not personally. Julia Roberts daughter is called Hazel.

MakeItStopNeville · 04/10/2018 02:04

I know an 18 year old Hazel and she is SUPER cool and just started at Harvard, if that helps?! I don't think it's ever going to be the kind of name that takes over the world but it is a really nice name.

MakeItStopNeville · 04/10/2018 02:06

Also....one of my all time favourite songs ever.....

pumkinspicetime · 04/10/2018 02:15

Yes, they are all Scottish and forty plus. It is a pretty name though.

fieryginger · 04/10/2018 02:33

Hazel is a lovely name.

Pemba · 04/10/2018 02:35

Oooh I'd almost forgotten that song Neville, I love it!

Eleanor90 · 04/10/2018 09:23

I don’t know any personally but it is rising gradually in popularity. It’s a really gorgeous name, and I doubt she’d have another in her class.

LaDaronne · 04/10/2018 21:30

One aged three, one aged two. Hazal is a Turkish name, I think it means beautiful, completely unrelated.

ShackUp · 04/10/2018 21:31

Yep, a one year old and a 75 year old! It's timeless.

kettleonplease · 04/10/2018 21:46

Two...one is in her 50's, one is in her 80's

Treaclepie19 · 05/10/2018 09:02

I like it. It can't be too common because it's only 195th on the ONS list.

NorthernRunner · 05/10/2018 09:04

I love hazel, it’s my DH granny’s name and it was on our list for DD, but ended up picking my granny’s name instead. Hazel will probably be for the next one 🤞🏻🤞🏻
