what are your favorites of the following?

Colette Hazel
Camille Nichole

Nicholas Joseph
Colston Joseph

these names are inspired by family names so I’m not really looking for other suggestions

thanks for you thoughts!

Any way you would put Hazel first? It's the nicest name by far. Maybe Hazel Camille ?

Colston Joseph I prefer

I agree with putting Hazel first. I really really like that name.

I prefer Nicholas to Colston.

pilates · 22/05/2025 21:36

Camille and Nicholas

mummyto9angels · 22/05/2025 21:37

I love Nicholas Joseph and Nichole Camille

House0fBamboo · 22/05/2025 21:45

Colston was a prominent slave trader. I'm presuming you don't live anywhere near Bristol? Therefore Nicholas Joseph. Hazel Camille for the other.

AnneMarieW · 22/05/2025 22:44

Colston sounds like a brand name to me, much prefer Nicholas Joseph.

Colette Hazel is lovely, Colette is so French chic. But Camille is also nice enough.

Nicholas and Camille. Nicholas was my top boy name but OH really didn't like it

repeatingabaselessclaim · 23/05/2025 06:11

Colette Hazel
Nicholas Joseph

MumChp · 23/05/2025 06:42

Hazel Nichole
and
Nicholas Joseph

MinPinSins · 23/05/2025 06:48

Colston like the slave trader? An awful association and surnames as first names pretty universally come across as tacky, so definitely Nicholas Joseph.

Both girls' names are lovely, but I prefer Colette Hazel

mantaraya · 23/05/2025 06:51

Colston also makes me think of the slave trader. Sorry.

ShanghaiDiva · 23/05/2025 06:51

Nicholas Joseph
Hazel Colette flows better imo

Lovenpic · 23/05/2025 07:05

Colston is awful, so deff Nicholas.

I like all your girls names, individually and in combination!

GladysHeeler · 23/05/2025 07:24

Colston is one of those names that people think they have misheard and are forever unsure what your name is.

Rainbowcat99 · 23/05/2025 07:34

I’m not fussed on either of your two combinations for girls (sorry) but Hazel Camille, Camilla/Camille Hazel are both lovely.

Nicholas Joseph is a boy’s name you can’t go wrong with.

Same here

Hazel, and Nicholas or Joseph.

Colette - No
Hazel - Yes
Camille - Cam-ee or Cam-eel?. No
Nichole - No, Nicole is better but dated.

Nicholas - Yes
Joseph - Yes
Colston - do an internet search on it. No.

PrettyPuss · 23/05/2025 11:43

Camille Nichole
Nicholas Joseph

ImFineItsAllFine · 23/05/2025 11:48

Colette Hazel and Colston Joseph are my favorites of the name combinations in the OP.

That said, I actually prefer Camille out of the girls first names, I just don't think it goes with Nichole. And I prefer Joseph to either Colston or Nicholas so would be inclined to put that first.

Moreteaandchocolate · 23/05/2025 12:25

Colette Hazel and Nicholas Joseph.

But, if you are planning to use the nn Milly then I prefer Camille nn Milly to Colette.

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2025 12:38

I like Nicholas Joseph.

I prefer Hazel Colette to any of the other options.

DeSoleil · 23/05/2025 13:35

what are your favorites of the following?
Colette Hazel - as already mentioned Hazel Colette is much nicer.
Camille Nichole - I don’t like either and don’t think they work well together.
Nicholas Joseph - I like that one for a boy.
