HelpRe: Hazel Grace
in reply to a message by Magz
I love Hazel and I have liked the name since I first heard it 15 years ago. It's currently one of my top 5 favorites for a girl.
Not a huge fan of Grace but it's not terrible it just is a bit too common of a mn and most people I know dislike having a mn that is so common like Anne or Lynn or May or Grace etc because they are so used that they kind of have become filler.
I didn't realize that Hazel Grace was the name of that character. My sister-in-law who is 14 read the book and she didn't like it. She said it was poorly written and it was over the top on purpose to make a lot of money by being a hackneyed teenaged love story only with cancer to make it extra tragic to earn extra money. She also felt it was strongly disrespectful for the characters to make out at the Anne Frank House and she doubted anyone would applaud them making out there.
I've not read it so I shouldn't judge but it does seem a bit like the on purpose "oscar-bait" of teenage romance novels.
I would never use the exact name combo of a popular book or movie character.

My Favorite Names:
Serafina, Fiona, Artemis, Luna, Hazel, Stella, Adelina, Deirdre, Frieda, Eleanor, Ursa, Callisto, Augustine, Ravenna, Marguerite, Citrina, & Juniper
Ciaran, Magnus, Arthur, Rowan, Connor, Finn, Teagan, Cedric, Adrian, Quinn, Xavier, Theron, Taliesin, Julian, Gavin, & Griffin
