We might end up doing [name_f]Susan[/name_f] and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] as mn. [name_f]Susan[/name_f] is to honor a deceased friend. I like the nn choices but would probably like to call her by her full first name. Brothers are [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_u]Porter[/name_u] and [name_u]Camden[/name_u].
I’d go with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-seems to be virtually nickname proof and easy to spell, goes with sibs names, and if you wish to use two middle names, it is short enough to work with. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is my favorite. Second place goes to [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. But I always find Emalynn, [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], Emalynn has so many spelling variations I would opt to use it as a middle instead to avoid corrections.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] Hales has too many of the same sounds (s/z,h,ay) so that’s my least favourite. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Hales is cartoonish. I don’t like the alliteration with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Hales but it’s slightly better than [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] are pretty and flow well with both the mn and surname. Of the two, I think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is the best option overall.
My favourite is definitely [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] but I agree with what other people have said about the alliteration and repeated sounds
I think my second favourite might be [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] as it’s pretty and has good flow with the middle and last names
I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] but it doesn’t work with your last name at all, imo. Alliteration is fine sometimes, but [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Hales just doesn’t flow right…
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] and [name_f]Susan[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] would be my picks from the name combos you listed. I prefer [name_f]Susan[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] though
