Violet is lovely.

alittlefishy · 11/07/2021 14:05

I love them both

Chunkymenrock · 11/07/2021 14:07

Hazel is fabulous. Violet reminds me of violent, so a definite no for me.

parttimedrifter · 11/07/2021 14:09

Hazel. I love Violet but it sounds like Violent to me

DramaAlpaca · 11/07/2021 14:11

Hazel.

In fact, Hazel Violet. Just lovely.

Tatum1234 · 11/07/2021 14:11

Violet is lovely. Hazel I find more old fashioned but would use for a middle name.

Terrazzo · 11/07/2021 14:12

I know sisters with those names, absolutely adore both!! Hazel is gorgeous, strong and soft but sadly doesn’t work with our surname

CrouchEndTiger12 · 11/07/2021 14:12

Violent is what I hear. Very popular.

Hazel is different and a very pretty name.

Terrazzo · 11/07/2021 14:12

In fact I’d describe violet as strong and soft too!

MarshaBradyo · 11/07/2021 14:12

Both nice

DoucheCanoe · 11/07/2021 14:15

I like both but all the Violets I've known have been twats so a negative connotation for me.

Hazel is nicer.

30degreesandmeltinghere · 11/07/2021 14:16

Prefer Hazel. Don't like Vi for nn.

DotDotDotDotDot · 11/07/2021 14:24

Both lovely choices. The only thing that might go against Hazel is people tend to drop their H’s where I live, A-Zel doesn’t sound as nice.

sparklyblue81 · 11/07/2021 14:24

I like Violet best 😊

Amdone123 · 11/07/2021 14:34

Violet.
Hazel is so dated to me.

VenusClapTrap · 11/07/2021 16:12

They are both favourites of mine!

scottmichael · 11/07/2021 16:14

Both lovely.
I'd go for Violet if I had to pick.

ILoveShula · 11/07/2021 17:23

Both are nice. Violet tends to sound like Vilet though.

AnyaMoondial · 11/07/2021 17:33

Both brilliant but slightly prefer Hazel.

emmathedilemma · 11/07/2021 18:06

I think Hazel is quite dated and not in a trendy old fashioned name sort of way. I think im also put off it because the only ones I know are exceptionally dull!
Violet is ok but quite popular the last few years.

Happenchance · 11/07/2021 18:06

Hazel, though I prefer Violetta to both Hazel and Violet.

HelloWorld2577 · 11/07/2021 18:39

@Happenchance I like Violetta but... Vienetta (the ice cream) too similar lol.

Never thought of Violet sounding like violent😂🤷🏻‍♀️I like the nickname Vi like V-eye!

Thanks all for opinions!

I was going to be called Hazel but my mum was worried I would be called Hazel nut :-D I prefer Violet personally, with Hazel as middle name.

BebesChamber · 11/07/2021 18:59

Oh I love them both so much. I think Violet is probably less common now so would go with that.
