Speaking of baby names

[daughtersrus]

I know that old fashion names are coming back but what do you think of Hazel for a baby girl?

 

[MainStreetMomma]

I like it, I do love most old-fashioned names although my most recent post would probably have most people believing otherwise.

However, I do have an aunt by that name and she was often called Witch Hazel and she really hated that. I think you can probably turn any name into a teasing point, though.

I don't love it, but it's not horrible. We ruled out a lot of "old fashioned" names with our baby...our grandmothers are Ethel, Mildred, and Mabel. Compared to those, Hazel is very modern!

 

[Andtototoo]

Not a fan, but I don't hate it. If for some reason I named my kid that, I'd probably call her Zellie for short. (I like nicknames.)

 

[TARDIS]

I like it! I'm a fan of old fashioned names, though. My oldest daughter's name is Charlotte. I tend to think of that as old fashioned. What middle name would you pair it with?

 

[lizabu]

I love it. I haven't heard it in so long I think it seems new again.

 

[NYEmomma]

GAHHHHHHH!!!!!

I absolutely love and adore the name Hazel and so badly want to name one of our girls Hazel but DH has vetoed it.

So we're going with Eleanor Rose and Lillian or Cecilia Ruby -- DH still can't decide. We're slowly getting down to the wire... I think he's just refusing to commit until he can look at them for some silly reason. Like a newborn is going to LOOK like a specific name.

(DD's name is Violet, btw, so old-fashioned seems to be a theme for us)

I love it. My friend has a 6 mos. old baby named Hazel

I like old fashioned names, I give Hazel the thumbs up.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I love it.

Hazel, to me, means a well-spoken woman, with a full face of make-up, who greats people kindly and with gifts. My Gramma Hazel was my most favorite person in the whole wide world. She was an actress.


One of my friends named her baby Hazel and that child is now a beautiful nearly six-year old handful of spunk.

I like old fashioned, traditional names, but I hate Hazel. It's in a group with Gladys, Edna and Bertha. I had relatives with some of those names, but would never have passed them on.

But in the end.....it's YOUR baby.

 

[Sgt Mickey]

It has grown on me.
Isn't Julia Roberts daughter Hazel...or a celebrity has a Hazel.

 

[BelleBriarRose]

I like it. I'm a fan of any unique, old-fashioned name, especially if it has significance for the family.

I like the name Hazel - I just named my new puppy Hazel, after the old tv show. My Hazel is funny, smart, friendly and has red hair - just like the tv character.

 

[daughtersrus]

Not my baby!

I'm way too old.

Friends of mine were talking and the topic came up. I immediately thought of the old tv show.

The middle name would be Marie with a very European ethnic last name.

 

[jrmasm]

I think it's awful and so did my grandmother who was named Hazel. I loved her but not her name.

 

[kimblebee]

As someone with the name Kimberly Joanne I do have a fondness for older names, just not mine LOL


15 years ago I was a TA with a girl in our class named Esther. At first I thought poor kid but the name totally grew on me. It suited her too.

 

[Lassie Lynne]

My great-grandmother's name was Hazel, she was born around the turn of the century. I like the name personally.

 

[NMAmy]

Nope, not a fan. I have an Auntie Hazel who is a wonderful person but I'm still not a fan of the name. And just for the record, my mom's name is Priscilla and my great-grandmother's name was Beulah and I don't like either of those names, either.

I can't think of Hazel as an old fashioned name- it sounds very modern to me. Probably because the only Hazel I've ever known is a young girl.
