What do you think of the name Hazel? What's one that you like better?

I think of Hazel in the British TV series Upstairs Downstairs - intelligent, composed, considerate, self-confident, caring, slender, red fin de siècle or art nouveau curls, pale complexion, died of influenza....

I usually think of someone older when I think of the name Hazel. I like the name Amy or Anne. These are good names for characters too because they don't suggest any particular age (at least to me). Or you could name a character after me. No one ever names anything after me. (waaaaaaaa)

The best of luck on your story.

Either a grandma or one of Julia Roberts' twins. Of course, if your character IS a grandma or has been cursed with a grandma name by her parent, then Hazel's great. It's hard to suggest a character name when you're not specific about what kind of character you're naming.

What I think the name Hazel sugests:

If she's attractive, it is in a sexy-intellectual sort of way. (I think making her plain would be too much of a cliche -- surprise people.) She's not brash, or cheap, or silly, or little-girl perky. She's not loud or pushy, but she speaks her mind with confidence. She could be a somewhat-bohemian artist type, or a historian working for a museum, or the owner of a business. Maybe she has a boyfriend who works with his hands -- farmer or cabinetmaker or car mechanic -- who is proud of his smart and witty lady.

hazel makes me think of a 60's tv sitcom in which a middle aged woman (shirley booth) plays the subserviant role of housekeeper and maid.

i love the name JERUSHA----taken from the book, Hawaii, by james mitchner

an unusual story would be about a person who is stalked and decides to reverse roles and stalk the stalker.

It makes me think of the maid Hazel in the old cartoons. If you don't have a plot you don't have much of a story.

regan and hazel ???? hazel makes me think of sensuous eyes and plz remember to send me ur story after u finish it or if u want any ideas u can send me msgs

it reminds me one of my Turkish friends who has brown eyes and brown hair. as a main character i think she would be different coz we are accustomed to the other names like Anne,Sue, Jane, etc...

if you want to be different, it is a good name to start...

good luck to you....

It makes me think of her having exotic brown eyes and long flowing brown hair.

when i hear Hazel i always think of the astrigent Whitch Hazel, you probably won't like it, but i always liked the name EVA
