Expecting a baby girl and tossing the name Hazel around. Looking for opinions on the name ie, what vibe does it give off/associations?

Older siblings are Niamh & Eoin

Thanks!

It's lovely, I think it's timeless.

Kate8990 · 13/02/2023 14:16

Hazel is a gorgeous name!

Beautiful timeless name .

userno777 · 13/02/2023 14:19

Lovely and not used very much.

PainterInPeril · 13/02/2023 14:28

Yes I love Hazel, I also quite like Hazy as a nickname.

ContadoraExplorer · 13/02/2023 14:31

Lovely name. Becoming quite popular where I am (near Glasgow) as I've heard of three or four all under 5 but by no means too common.

Harebrain · 13/02/2023 14:35

It’s a beautiful name.

AmandaHoldensLips · 13/02/2023 14:35

Really lovely and you don't hear it much these days.

One of my favourites.

LadyMargaretDevereux · 13/02/2023 14:49

Beautiful name!

KirstenBlest · 13/02/2023 16:29

It's ok. Only ever met 2.

pigpinkstockings · 13/02/2023 16:29

Lovely name!

Viviennemary · 13/02/2023 16:33

I really like it. Lovely name.

Bigteamug · 13/02/2023 16:34

Lovely

AnotherNameChangeYes · 13/02/2023 16:37

I really dislike it, it’s just feels very 80s and dated to me. I imagine someone with a perm.

FlutterbButterfly · 13/02/2023 16:38

So underused, fabulous name!

Moontide · 13/02/2023 16:46

DD’s middle name. I wasn’t that sure on it at first, but it’s a family name so I wanted to use it. It’s really grown on me now though and I think it’s gorgeous! Very glad we went with it!

Enko · 13/02/2023 16:47

Beautiful

LubaLuca · 13/02/2023 17:00

I like it. I know two Hazels, one is 7 and the other in her 70s.

TulipsLilacs · 13/02/2023 17:01

Very nice

cravingtoblerone · 13/02/2023 17:07

Lovely!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 13/02/2023 17:11

It's lovely

Consufed · 13/02/2023 17:13

Of the few Hazels I've met, one was quite timid, one was unkind and gossipy, one was a dog, and one was a friendly fellow school mum. So I don't have one particular image in mind for the name Grin

wishing3 · 13/02/2023 17:14

Lovely! I’d say gives off slightly folksy vibes and could be someone of any age.

Fallstar · 13/02/2023 17:16

It's beautiful. If we'd had a girl she would have been Hazel.
