I thought me and DP had both agreed on Hazel. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but I don’t know any Hazels and I like that it’s an older name as opposed to more ‘modern’ names.

DP likes the name Autumn and April, although she won’t be born in Autumn so I’ve said no, and she’d only be born in April if I was overdue (due 31st March). Although I’ve ruled it out due to our surname. I know they’re not necessarily old names.

I like Mabel but it’s too common with people I know so I’ve had to rule that out.

Thank you!

Interestingly, I'm a reception teacher with two Hazel's in my class this year. It's obviously making a comeback!

I know 3 Hazels, all in their thirties siblings are Rosemary, Rebecca, Victoria and Julia.

It’s a nice name, if you love it then I would go for it. Emily Blunt and John Krazinski have a daughter called Hazel I believe.

Hazel Hazel Hazel.

Fabulous name.

Mabel is cute!

How about Avril instead of April?
Heather or Hannah instead of Hazel.
Edith nn Edie?

Sylvia or Sylvie are imo underused old-fashioned names due a come back. So pretty.
