I have never met anyone named hazel and I work in schools and daycares too. I was convinced I was having a boy, but baby came out and surprised us all by being a girl! Team green is fun! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2356143 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 20:55:05 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2356143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never met anyone named Hazel. I think it's cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2356038 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 17:51:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2356038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: our top name choice is Hazel Grace (as in The Fault in Our Stars). Completely not because of the book/ movie- DH came up with it and never heard of either. But it is in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2356037 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 17:50:06 +0000 sapphire 2356037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know one. But it screams 2015 to me because of "The Fault in Our Stars." It's very pretty though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355796 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:54:09 +0000 wrkbrk 2355796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: I love it! It was on our list, too. And I dont know a single Hazel in real life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355761 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:40:37 +0000 autumnleaves 2355761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard of a lot of Hazel being used a lot lately. The only one on your list which may be used a lot around here is Annabelle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355757 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:39:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2355757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name and do not know one IRL, and in your case with the family significance I would use it because it means that much more to you! it's a beautiful name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355751 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:37:22 +0000 MamaCate 2355751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like it, use it! You never know what will happen with a name's popularity in the future. I know one Hazel locally (the little sister of one of my lo's daycare friends) and one old friend in a different state who had a Hazel. So I don't consider that too too popular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355714 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:20:15 +0000 shellio 2355714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its a beautiful name. We just went through the same thing and decided that it wasn't TOO popular... hopefully it doesn't continue to spike. I will add that I work in a children's hospital so I see newborns to 20-somethings and its not a name I commonly see, although it is definitely recognizable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355701 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:12:17 +0000 brady80 2355701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Hazel and it's on our short list...but we don't love how it sounds with our last name. I know of one other Hazel, and there aren't any in my daughter's daycare. I don't think it's very popular </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355675 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:59:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2355675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know any, and I like the name! I say just name her a name you love :happy: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355673 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:58:18 +0000 travellingbee 2355673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never met or known of a Hazel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355666 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:52:59 +0000 buttermilk 2355666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think its too popular overall, but it is a bit trendy. It's a beautiful name though. Just depends on how important that is to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355655 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:43:18 +0000 nana87 2355655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6yo niece is a hazel but she's the only one I know!

I don't know any babies with that name and no middle school aged kids either (I teach). I have taught 2 Annabelle's though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355476 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:20:14 +0000 ldh112 2355476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: That's my baby girl's name! She is 4.5 months. I will admit, when I tell people her name I am hearing "oh I know so and so with a Hazel" more than I anticipated. In fact, a friend I reconnected with recently used it for her 12 week old! It's been fun to have our two Hazels together, although at first I was a little bummed to share a name so close to home if I am honest! You just get over it eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355475 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:18:39 +0000 gentlelunette 2355475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never met a Hazel or heard of any new babies named Hazel. I think it's a great name- I love older names. Of all your choices, it's my favourite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355462 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:13:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2355462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only know one hazel, but it was on my and my two BFF's girl name short list this year for our babes. None of us used it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355449 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:08:20 +0000 babypugs 2355449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know any kids named Hazel right now, and I love it! Go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355443 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:06:49 +0000 Maysprout 2355443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard a few people tossing around the idea of Hazel but I don't know any Hazels, so not common around here yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355247 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:21:10 +0000 LulaBee 2355247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I think if it's a girl, she will most likely be Hazel... it's a family name on both sides and Evelyn is my grandmother's middle name... Eek! It'll probably be a boy anyways, so it won't even matter. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355244 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:19:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2355244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355189 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:51:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2355189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: funny it has almost the exact same chart as my older one's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355188 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:48:58 +0000 mediagirl 2355188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a beautiful name!!! And no, it is not popular. I absolutely love your choices. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355186 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:47:24 +0000 lady baltimore 2355186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's certainly trendy (see the recent jump on Name Voyager), but not nearly common enough to be "too popular". Hazel Evelyn is lovely! I like it the best of your choices, though you can't go wrong with any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hazel-too-popular#post-2355179 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:42:13 +0000 Reese 2355179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! I was nervous our LO's name was going to be too popular (in the top 50) and every time we tell someone they need it repeated / have never heard of it. "Popular" names now aren't as common as they were in the past (i.e.: 10 Jessica's in a class). If you love it, go for it! </p>
