I am really liking the idea of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] right now but I would love y’alls opinion. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] I love the sound of, I love its kind of vintage and a nature name and the [name_u]Haze[/name_u] sound is cool, [name_u]James[/name_u] is my dad’s name and I think adds a little sweet southern flair.
What do you think of double barrel names in general? [name_m]How[/name_m] is the flow/sound of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer the nn [name_u]Haze[/name_u], [name_f]Zella[/name_f] or somthing else? What imagery/ description comes to mind?Any other thoughts/ opinions on the first name [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u]? If you wand to pair it with a middle too that would be cool! I have [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] on my list right now but i am not totally sure.
Middles I like (they are all relative honor names):
[name_u]Story[/name_u], [name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Maple[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f], [name_f]Serenade[/name_f], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_u]Wolf[/name_u], [name_u]Fox[/name_u], [name_u]Arrow[/name_u], [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]
I’m usually not a fan of [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl, but [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] is actually quite charming! [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] or [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] would be beautiful!
I really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u]! I second Sonnett as mn, and I also really like [name_f]Faye[/name_f] and [name_u]Ember[/name_u].
I also really love [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]! I’ve never heard that before! [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] is unique and gorgeous! I love a double barreled name. I would call her Hazey or [name_f]Zella[/name_f]
Hazel-[name_u]James[/name_u] is fresh and unexpectedly sweet. I’m not a big fan of [name_u]James[/name_u] usually but it works here. I like the nn [name_f]Zella[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] would be sweet
I’m not usually a fan of double-barrelled names or of [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl, but [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] has really nice flow and is very sweet.
Hazel-[name_u]James[/name_u] is really charming! I’m not usually the biggest fan of double barreled names, but something about this one really appeals to me. It flows naturally and just feels nice to say! It feels a little bit vintage and gently southern. I love that you’d get to include your dad’s name. Two thumbs up from me!
I love double names right now and this combo flows really well. I’m not a fan of [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl, but it does seem to work with this combo. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is on our list and we’re thinking [name_f]Zelie[/name_f]/Zelly as a nickname if you like that. I also like [name_f]Zella[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and if you did [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u], HJ could be kind of cute too.
So I’ve been loving double barreled fem-masc names! I’m kind of loving [name_u]Noa[/name_u]-[name_u]Jo[/name_u] right now though I wouldn’t use it myself. I think since it has meaning for you it works.
Hazel-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] sounds darling but usable and not like a girl that the parents wish were a boy (which naming her directly only a boy name kind of gives me that vibe).
I also like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u].
I don’t mind double barreled names but I HIGHLY DISLIKE james as a middle name or second part of a first name for a girl. It’s super trendy. I like sonnet, [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], even though [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is very pop where I live.
@MerylP Because I’m from the American south and [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl has been done for decades it doesn’t read as trendy to me. There are so many women my age and older with it in their name, and especially since it honors my Dad and its very traditional here to use a male family members name as a middle or second name in a double barrel name it seems more traditional to me than trendy.
I like most of these, but I am planning on using a word name that has personal meaning/honors me or a loved one. Here is my long list of middle names if you wanna play around with a middle for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u]:
I’m honestly not the biggest fan of hyphens. I find them very complicated. I would go with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u].
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] flows very well! [name_f]Zella[/name_f] is a very interesting nickname. What about [name_f]Hazie[/name_f], Zellie, [name_f]El[/name_f], H and Hay? I always associate [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] with sweet, elegant, fun, creative and kind girls/women who loves the nature.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] is nice.
I also adore:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Story[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] (gorgeous!)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]
I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and sometimes I like [name_u]James[/name_u] as a middle for a girl, although I’m not sure I’m fond of the pairing here, unfortunately (sorry!). [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_u]James[/name_u] seem so starkly different that it doesn’t mesh too well for me.
I do love the idea of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], though! Or even [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]?
