Re: Hazel for a boy
in reply to a message by ganzania
There was a Biblical king called Hazael, which is very close.
Hasle or Hazle, which are alternate spellings to Hazel prefixing the surname Hazelwood (Haslewood, Hazlewood) and Hazelrigg seem to me more masculine-sounding options.
The surnames are worth considering; either one can then be shortened for everyday fn use. For instance, I know someone whose father's first name is Hazelwood - he's known as Haze.
