Hazel was never exclusively a masculine name. When it first came into use as a name during the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was used as a gender neutral name. There are plenty of surnames that are used as first names and some lend themselves more to use as a first name than others. If all surnames are gender neutral now then let’s call our daughters Fraser and our sons Hannah. While as a last name Hayes is as a technically gender neutral in my mind it lends itself more to a masculine name than a feminine name. Hazel Elena is pretty and you can always use Haze as a nickname.
