Emberlin has -lin and Hazelen has -len. Yup, that's it! If it had been Hazelin, I'd have gone, "ewwwww..." I like the fact that it kind of looks like Ellen, and I'd probably prn it like Hazellen. :o) But yes, you're absolutely correct in that my likes & dislikes are completely arbitrary. I'm exactly the same with Joe & Joseph and Madison & Madeleine. I love Josiah, but dislike Joseph. What kind of sense does that make? :o) PLUS, I know Hazelen has some sort of history (I mean, come on, it's the name of an old lady; what more proof do you need? lol), while I know nothing about Emberlin. It could be that Emberlin is a very old family name, in which case, I'd probably like it a teensy bit more. I know I'm rambling & not making any sense whatsoever, so I'll stop now. ;o) Can't defend the indefensible!
