Thoughts on my 4

[GailHailStormy]

Hazel
May
Tessa
Noelle.

All great.

Their sister could be .. Dawn, Holly or Rachel.

Hazel is lovely and not faddy. My Great grandmother was called Hazel in 1900 and I met a beautiful newborn with the same name last week.

I love Noelle! So pretty and a bit unusual. Tessa and May are ok but I can’t understand the love for Hazel, it seems really dated to me.

I like hazel (though I think it is odd on a blonde) and tessa.

The only Noelle I know is absolutely lovely, but was born on Christmas Day, hence the name. Maybe because of her I see it as very seasonal.

Hazel is so pretty and underrated

I love Hazel and Tessa...not fond of May, and my mum has three good friends called Noelle so to me it sounds dated (although I do know two Noelles that are 16 and 30ish, so maybe just my perception).

Hazel or Noelle - love them both. Know a 7 year old Hazel, she's fab

Tessa :)

I have literally never met anyone called Noelle in my life and you know five. I think it's a really unusual name, makes me think of Noelle Gordon (going back a bit!).

I think I like Tessa best out of your list, but prefer Tess.

Hazel 🥰

May or Tessa.
I strongly dislike Hazel.
Not keen on Noelle at all.

i really love Tessa. It’s a name that travels well and won’t age.

Hazel is really pretty and lovely, I also love Heather in a similar vein. Noelle is unusual and elegant. She'll certainly not have three in her year group. Tessa sounds a bit dated and frumpy to me and May is run of the mill and over-used.

Maybe it's a regional thing? I'm from Dublin, Noelle would be quite common among people over 50 I think

Hazel is too harsh sounding to my ears, not one I'd like to have to shout upstairs. Noelle is lovely though.

I’d bet the PP is from Ireland

Ha. We’re going with Hazel if I’m expecting a girl, perhaps with May as a middle name. Hazel is a name we love and May is a family name.

And I’ve always loved Tessa too!

I am reallllly struggling on boys names though …

Hazel - lovely.
May - as a middle name.
Tessa - no. Two Ton Tessa
Noelle.- ok

I love Hazel. Not wildly sold on the rest...

I like them all.

Like Noelle best

If you call her May then she shouldn’t change her name if she marries a man called Day. I know of a May Day and if you look on the internet you’ll see there are others.. People seem to be unable to call her May — always has to be MayDay

I imagine them all being born in the 1960s.

Tessa I love it.

I always work on the basis that if a name works for a baby, a child, a stroppy teenager and a high court judge it's a good name!
Hazel is lovely
