Middle name for Hazel

Hello! Looking for a middle name to go with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] to honor my grandma, [name_f]Mary[/name_f]. Not crazy about [name_f]Mary[/name_f] itself. Have considered [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. Thanks!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Omara[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mira[/name_f] (prn. mee-ruh)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Myra[/name_f] (prn. my-ruh, plus all the letters of ‘[name_f]Mary[/name_f]’ are in there there!)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mallory[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Amerie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maicy[/name_f]

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marlene[/name_f]

Its considered a combo of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f].

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f]

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]'s beautiful! I love the suggestions of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] (well, your idea, but still! She’s gorgeous), [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (ditto!), [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] (my first idea, and I adore it!), etc. What about:

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] (or the similar [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mirielle[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maja[/name_f] (Scandinavian diminutive of [name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Maria[/name_f]–I love it!)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Manon[/name_f] ([name_m]French[/name_m] form of [name_f]Mary[/name_f])
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Malia[/name_f] (Hawaiian form of [name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Maria[/name_f], I think!)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mariska[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maryse[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mariella[/name_f]/[name_f]Mariela[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Majken[/name_f]/Maiken
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] (along with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f] can also be derived from [name_f]Maria[/name_f])
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Mirjami (Finnish form of [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], I think. I think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Mirjami is so cool!)

Is there a certain nationality you might want to honor? I think there’s lovely options from different nationalities, and this website lists so many! Meaning, origin and history of the name Mary - Behind the Name

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Mirjami, [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maja[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] are my favorites, in addition to your [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]/[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] that you’re considering already!

Good luck!

You have great suggestions already, so I’ll only add [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f] to the list (same root as [name_f]Mary[/name_f]).

I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]! Sounds so whimsical and pretty.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] a vote for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]. It sounds so charming. I have an Aureli@ [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] so I am biased towards that middle, but it so cheerful and beautiful.

I know you’re not crazy about [name_f]Mary[/name_f], but directly honoring grandma w/ [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is still a lovely choice!

Good luck. :slight_smile:
