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.
