She was born in 1907 so right on-trend for her day. When I was a kid in the ’70s it seemed hopelessly dated, but now I really like it.

After dismissing it for years as a dual crusty old lady/hippy name, I considered it for Ottilie along with other -el names. It’s got more moxie than Mabel and I love that it’s back in vogue again.

I’m already in naming Hades for using excessively long names, so using Hazel with two naturey names in the one combo was beyond the freaking pale.

The only one I’ve met is an elderly lady who is the oldest member of our church – so it does have an ‘old lady vibe’ to me, which I do like.

Already having a Henry and not wanting to duplicate initials, it didn’t make our list – but I do like the sound and the vibe. Strangely enough I’ve never associated it with hazelnuts – but that makes me think of tasty Nutella, so that’s good too!
