If I like Hazel, what other names would I like?

We're trying to come up with a shortlist of names for baby girl due in April and really struggling!

Current favourite is Hazel but not 100%. Others on the list are
Rowan
Caroline nn callie
Laura

Not a huge fan of the old lady name revival that's going on at the moment but given I've no further clue I'll take any suggestions 😂

I think Hazel is lovely. I recently saw something similar "Mayzel" nn Mayzie. Just remembered as it sounds similar. I think Isabelle (Izabelle/ Isobel) is similar too but appreciate it may overly popular now.

I do love both Caroline and Laura. I think they are strong, not overly popular girls names.

Some of my personal favourites are

Claudia
Carla / Clara
Matilda
Fiona
Isobel

How exciting for you :) I loved naming my DC, was the favourite part of pregnancy haha! ❤️

I love the name Hettie

EvelynBeatrice · 26/01/2021 14:25

Hazel always seems quite Scottish to me. Another one would be Heather. I like Morven and Kirsten better though. Cara too.

crabette · 26/01/2021 14:26

Emily Blunt's two daughters are Hazel and Violet?

Other (non old lady names!) I think are similar style to the ones you've listed are Lauren, Cara, Kristen?

I do love Hazel though.

Hazel is really lovely
Greta?
Verity?
Holly?
Jemima?

Rowan is having a moment and so too trendy for me and not as timeless as your other names. I also don't like nickname Row.
Caroline nn callie - lovely. Also love Cleo and Clementine.
Laura - love this, also love Laurel
