Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Hazelen?
in reply to a message by Cambria
On first glance, it looks like a combination of Hazel and Ellen to me, so I would instinctively pronunce it hay-ZELL-in. I'd have a hard time remembering Hazelyn, I suspect.
While I like how it looks, and I love weird old lady names (I go to the library and search through the census records to find the coolest names I can--I've got a big list! :), I don't think I'll warm up to it too quick. Hazel's already a family name for me, and it unfortunately feels like an unnecessary elaboration.
And now I'm starting to think about Hazellen--oh, Cambria, what are you doing to me?! ;D
...And just in case you're interested, here are some of the greatest fn-ln combos I've found in the old (oldoldold, from 1790-ish to 1930) census records:
Ladies:
Fozrine Bile
Precious Cutright
Alzettie Dorden
Lovey Fortune
Charthenia Gritt
Thursday J. Love
Artemissa Possum
Lemon Time
Gentlemen:
Precious Bean
Berzilla Cobby
Ura Cobra (to be fair, he was from Austria)
Delray J. Freak
Muffin Mann (I kid you not)
Money None
Metal Rankin
Smile Shine
Bottom F. L. Side
Whisper Wheaton
The full list is available at no additional cost. ;)
