My daughter’s name is [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Last name begins with a G. Here are some names currently on our list (for first and/or middles names) - please let me know your opinions and any additional suggestions/advice! Would love to hear suggested middle names for any of the names below as well. Have some Irish and French heritage in the family, though that is not a requirement!
Girls:
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name] ([name]Gwen[/name] or [name]Vera[/name])
[name]Millicent[/name] ([name]Millie[/name])
[name]Beatrix[/name]
Also like [name]Aveline[/name], but just realized it is the French form of [name]Hazel[/name]!
Appreciate your help! Really struggling to find our front-runners this time! Due in 8 weeks and want to have at least 2 boy names and 2 girl names going into the delivery room, then we’ll decide which fits best once we meet our little one!
Does anyone have opinions on these names? Or are they all really terrible? If you have time, please let me know your thoughts - would really appreciate some suggestions/opinions to help us choose.
Thank you so much! I was also a little worried a girl might get “[name]Trixie[/name]” out of [name]Beatrix[/name], so [name]Beatrice[/name] is probably a safer choice. Though, if she gets “[name]Bea[/name]” for short, our last name ends in an “E” sound. Does that matter?
I think [name]Millicent[/name]/[name]Millie[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name]/[name]Vera[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Desmond[/name] and [name]Jude[/name] sound great with [name]Hazel[/name]. I like [name]Maeve[/name] but don’t like it with [name]Hazel[/name]. [name]Guinevere[/name] is lovely but quite frilly compared to [name]Hazel[/name]. I think [name]Vera[/name] can stand on it’s own and it sounds great with [name]Hazel[/name].
I think [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] would make an adorable sibset I love both names and they were on my list for this baby, but hubby vetoed both. I also will second [name]Beatrice[/name] over [name]Beatrix[/name], and [name]Vera[/name] is lovely on it’s own as well. I like [name]Heath[/name], but not sure if you want to go with the matchy first name sounds. I think they sound nice together. I also like [name]Fenton[/name] for some reason, very quirky. Good luck!
Thanks so much for all the great feedback. [name]Fenton[/name] is actually my grandmother’s maiden name, though I see it’s gaining in popularity in general. I like “Fen” as a nickname too. Or perhaps it can be a middle name? Any middle names suggestions for the names above would be appreciated too.
Not many takers on “[name]Clark[/name]” for a boy, though I think it’s strong and not overused these days. Plus I like the reference to Super [name]Man[/name] (as does my husband, boys will be boys) and to [name]Clark[/name] [name]Gable[/name].
I think [name]Maeve[/name] goes lovely with [name]Hazel[/name]! [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name]. It just sounds perfect to me. I’ve always liked the name [name]Hazel[/name], and [name]Maeve[/name] has always been another cute name I admired.
[name]Desmund[/name], [name]Fenton[/name], and [name]Rhys[/name] are good too, and so is [name]Heath[/name], but unless you’re planning on only having [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Heath[/name], I wouldn’t use two of the same first letters; the third one would be left out. I like [name]Fenton[/name], but I like the nickname Fen way more. [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Desmund[/name], that sounds pretty good. [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name], sounds awesome. [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Heath[/name], sounds good, but again, I personally would only pick this if I was only planning on having 2 kids.
My overall picks are [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Hazel[/name] and Fen.
I love all of your names. You have gorgeous style.
My favorites with [name]Hazel[/name] are [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name]/[name]Beatrice[/name] for a girl. I love [name]Guinevere[/name], but it does feel like a bit much next to [name]Hazel[/name]…perhaps just [name]Gwen[/name]? [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name] would make a lovely pair. For boys I love [name]Jude[/name] or [name]Rhys[/name] with [name]Hazel[/name]. Over all I think my favorites are [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Jude[/name]([name]Gwen[/name] might beat our [name]Maeve[/name], though.)
I also really love-
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Cate[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Eden[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Margo[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Lila[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Connor[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Owen[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Liam[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Felix[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Asher[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]James[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Callum[/name]
I think [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] make a great pair! I would say [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]. I love the personal connection of [name]Fenton[/name]. [name]Fenton[/name] [name]Jude[/name]? Also like [name]Desmond[/name] (this spelling) with the nn [name]Dez[/name].
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name]?
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Fenton[/name]?
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Dez[/name]?
My first thought when I saw [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Grace[/name] was the book “The Fault in Our Stars” The main character’s name is [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Grace[/name].
I think [name]Maeve[/name] is a little to modern sounding to be paired with [name]Hazel[/name]. I think the best sibset there is [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name].
For the boys I think [name]Clark[/name] and [name]Desmund[/name] work best.
