Name help

Hazel Mae for a girl

Garrison Gabriel for a boy 

 What do you think?

 

Middle names are family names, first names are not from our families.

I love Hazel as a fn and I love Mae as a mn. Together.... cute but kind of has a Mayberry feel to it. Which is fine. I am not a fan of the name Garrison in general and think the 2 names together are a bit much. I like Harrison. I also think that Gabriel is a nice enough name for the fn spot.

I'm not crazy about the MN for Hazel and not fond of the boy name alliteration. I prefer Gabriel to Garrison.  It reminds me of South Pk Mr. Garrison.

Hazel Mae is adorable. I don't like Garrison at all, it's only a last name to me. Gabriel is great though.

Hazel Mae is nice. Garrison Gabriel... Not so much. I love Gabriel though. Garrison is NMS at all.

Hazel Mae is cute. The Red Sox has a female sports caster by that name several years ago...

Garrison is a term we use in the military.  It means, "to be stationed in a town/location/country or fortress to protect it," more or less.  So I dont like it as a name. 

I do like Hazel Mae and Gabriel a lot though.

Like Hazel Mae. Hate Garrison. It sounds very harsh and is not an attractive name, especially paired with another G. I do like Gabriel. I might be able to get on board with Harrison Gabriel.

I really like Hazel and don't mind Garrison. I agree with previous posters about Gabriel for a first name.

I love Hazel Mae, and Gabriel is okay. I dislike Garrison, and don't care for it paired with Gabriel...one too many G's for me.

Sorry I don't like either of those names at all. The only one I like is Gabriel.
