Hazel or Robyn?

Thoughts? Or neither?

We don't know what we are having yet, but we find boys names much easier than girls! One consideration is that we really like Robert for a boy, so using Robyn would rule that out for future DC.

I am biased - but I adore Robyn (I have one) - nicknamed Bobbi or Birdie or "Stop staring at that I'm talking to you" (which is more of a nickname for older children with selective deafness when what's being said doesn't suit them). The drawback is it's bloody expensive near Christmas when cute clothes come out with robins on and you get really really tempted just because they're robins after all.

Hazel is still a bit mid-70s for me.

Hazel for me.

We almost went with Hazel for DD. I love it!

Hazel is a beautiful name that suits every age group. It will grow with her 😊

@badg3r that made me smile! What are the other "cool" letters?!

@DominaShantotto this baby is due in mid December, which does make Robyn feel very fitting!! I also love the nn Bobbi. DS has a fairly traditional name with a relatively unusual shortening. So the lack of "cool" nn's with Hazel is one one of the things which makes me hesitate.

Prefer robyn, but Robert is a great name so maybe instead of Hazel something like hallie?

@nervousnelly8 the other cool letters are q, k and x Wink
