[Opinions] Re: Hazel?
in reply to a message by Cassandra113
I want to like Hazel. It's got a pretty sound, it's got a 'z' which is somewhat unusual, it ends in 'el' which I like, it's got 'haze' which gives it a whimsical feel.
But there were quite a few Hazels at my school (there was a local vogue for it in the late 80s, presumably, because it doesn't show up in the charts) and without exception, they were bitchy and unpleasant girls. I wish I could shake that image off, but I can't.

It's totally weird to me that you knew quite a few Hazels your age. I completely can't picture it on anyone under the age of sixty, which is about the age my grandmother was when I became old enough to have memories of her, and who now has been dead for almost twenty years. I just cannot imagine a teenage Hazel.
I suppose it's easier for me because it wasn't popular for the older generation here in Scotland. In fact, I don't know any Hazels older than the ones I went to school with - who, at this point, will be 21 or 22 at the most.
