Expecting #2 in Aug and we don't know gender. Want to get a feel for what others think of our name choices for if it's a girl.... Margot Jane or Hazel Jane.
Also any boy name ideas? Middle name will be Ralph.
Dd1 is Eliza Ann FYI

Hazel Jane. Another Nick Drake fan here.

Both lovely! Cant go wrong

AnyaMoondial · 14/06/2021 17:44

Hazel Jane is pretty great actually.

ODFOx · 14/06/2021 17:46

They're both lovely. Would prefer Margaret to Margot for the multiple nn options, but both Margot and Hazel are lovely.

A boy to go with Eliza, middle name Ralph? Henry or Albert or Silas.

Margot's fine but I love Hazel

Oh I love your taste in names! It’s a shame it’s not twins because Margot and Hazel are such a gorgeous combination! At a push I would go for Hazel but Margot is also so lovely.

Not too helpful I know!

Out of the two, I'd go with Hazel. Margot is forever 'The Good Life', to me. A rather pushy upper middle class woman. Shame, but I can't get that out of my head.

Your first DD's name Eliza is lovely.

BTW, a pp said that Hazel suggested 'stripper' to them. How on earth can you think that? It is the complete opposite of what a Hazel is. Your typical Hazel lives in a village where she helps run the local brownie pack and helps deliver the parish magazine. So a slightly dowdy vibe really, though objectively it is a lovely name and meaning.

Love Hazel

35andThriving · 14/06/2021 21:22

I like both. I think I'd like to be Margot. To be honest I'm not sure if it's just because Hazel doesn't really work with my surname, so that is colouring my view. I like both. Smile

Margot, really don’t like Hazel for some reason.

Boys - Amos, Silas, Seth, Saul, Jethro, Jerome, Nathaniel, Francis (Frances is nice for a girl also), Joss, Jude, Joel

Mum2jenny · 14/06/2021 21:48

Hazel Jane seems good to me and

SirSamuelVimes · 14/06/2021 21:50

I love Margot!

How about Margot June? (Am biased against Jane as middle name as half the girls in my class at school had it as their middle name!)

Tillygetsit · 14/06/2021 22:28

Hazel Jane is perfect.

Tillygetsit · 14/06/2021 22:33

Oh and I think Eliza and Adam Hugh sound good together.

DramaAlpaca · 14/06/2021 22:35

Hazel by miles.

Margot is a thoroughly ugly name.

Jane is wonderful.

Heh1991 · 15/06/2021 01:04

Margot Jane

Ralph James
Ralph Edward
Ralph George

But please spell it Margot, not Margaux as a distant acquaintance did I roll my eyes at the pretentiousness every time I see it

Actually Margaux is the more popular spelling of the name in France.

I much prefer Hazel, op.
