Today since I had a few hours alone working outside at the horse farm I decided to say some names and nn's out loud in my normal talking voice, names always sound so different when spoken rather than whispered.

---

After mulling over things awhile I decided that I actually prefer Zel / Zell / Zelle and Zely / Zelie / Zelly / Zellie / Zeli / Zelli to the other Hazel nn's. I also like Zella and will consider that nn more. I don't dislike Haze, Hazey, Elle, or Ellie but they aren't my preferred nn's. Truthfully though I'll probably give my children so many nn's that I'll use all of those and then some.

After reading everyones posts I decided that you guys are right about it being weird to use a different spelling for Hazel since it is a plant name. Of course some day I'll discuss this with my partner to see his opinion about this. I still don't mind the spelling Hazell.

Thanks everyone. I'm not pregnant but I just had my birthday last week. My birthday always causes me to start thinking about babies. It also doesn't help that I'm working around children and one of the people I'm volunteering with is pregnant. I've just really got children on the brain.

Also quick question which nn spellings do you prefer? Zel or Zell or Zelle? And Zely, Zelly, Zelie, Zellie, Zeli, or Zelli? Also Zela or Zella? Thanks everyone. :)
