Emily or Hazel?

Torn between these two names. We already have a Charlie and a Rosie, I think Emily fits better with these names and I do love the name, I'm just concerned how popular it is. I love the name Hazel, reminds me of autumn which is my fav season and i dont know any other Hazels, but husband isn't as keen.

Hazily?

Hazel is my favourite but if your DH prefers Emily, that’s pretty too and goes nicely with Charlie and Rosie.
Emily Hazel is nice

Emily is v v boring and everywhere.
Hazel is so pretty and less common.

I don’t really like Hazel tbh. Sorry! I called my son a very popular boy’s name. It was my favourite name and its popularity doesn't bother me or him.

Id pick Emily. It's actually a lot less popular than Hazel where I am, Hazel is very popular at the moment.

Thank you for all your opinions. Emily Hazel does sound lovely. I think I will keep both options open and see what I feel when she is born. Could be a boy anyway 😂
