HelpRe: Hazel
in reply to a message by Magz
About Hazel ranking 175, yes, it's been making a big comeback. The parents of today don't remember the old ladies named Hazel, the way that I at age 53 do, so it's seeming charmingly antique.
I certainly do remember an old lady named Hazel, because Hazel was my maternal grandmother's name. She was born in 1906 and died in 1989.
Well, to me as a kid and a teenager, Hazel was an "old lady name" and not one that I would have stopped to think whether I really liked or not. I wrote it off as an "old lady name". This was during its time off the charts, of course.
But now I find it, as described above, charmingly antique, and a little ugly but ugly in a charming way. Very 1920s flapperish. I have a soft spot for it and am glad to see it coming back.
If my third grandson had been a girl, the name was going to be Hazel. Being my grandmother's name, it is a family name, and that was part of the reason that the name had been decided upon, but my daughter and son-in-law do like the name itself, also.
So yay Hazel.
