Our boys are [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].
First question: [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (for our daughter due soon) goes with her brothers’ names?
Second question: We want her middle name to be after a dear old friend, [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]. (I’m not a fan of [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f]) We are thinking:
I really, really love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. She’s also perfect with the sibset! Vintage and sweet, and underused. Gorgeous names!
I probably prefer [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f], but [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is more ‘honouring’. I also like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Marian[/name_u] (it has such nice flow, and I think of [name_u]Robin[/name_u] Hood )
Good luck!
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is gorgeous, and goes nicely with brothers. I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Marian[/name_u].
I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f] better. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] sounds like Hail [name_f]Mary[/name_f] to me. I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] honors [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] well combining the 2 names.
That will be a great sib set! You have a great naming style! I think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is a lovely name and works well with [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. I also like:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is a beautiful name and fits very nicely with your son’s names. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is stunningly beautiful and down-to-earth. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!
Seriously loving [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Maren[/name_f] with it, some other options are [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], and [name_f]Maggie[/name_f].
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] sounds too similar to Hail [name_f]Mary[/name_f] in my opinion. That was my first connotation. I like the pp’s suggestion of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (this MN was so popular in past generation that it’s hardly ever used now, but it works as an honor name and sounds really pretty here), [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] or [name_u]Marian[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] (despite the rule-breaking endings), and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f].
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f] might just be my favorite, though. I adore simple, down-to-earth names that are also beautiful. It makes me think of a sugar maple in autumn (with ‘every leaf a second flower’) standing alone on a country lane.
Usually wouldn’t post but my first reaction to [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] was that out reminded me of hail [name_f]Mary[/name_f]… I scrolled down and noticed someone else thought the same thing so I’d better let you know. Your other options are beautiful
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is lovely! I quite adore it. And [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] are lovely together. I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] could honor a [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] pretty well, too, if you’re open to it. And I think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is lovely, as well.
