Help me choose!

It took forever for my husband and I to agree on names.  We had such a difficult time!  Can you please help me pick between these two?  We like them both!

Hayden Elizabeth

Hazel Mae

I like both first names but not Mae for a middle name.  Can you do Hazel Elizabeth?  I think Hayden is a little trendy although I don't mind it.  I just think Hazel is a more original, less common name and it will be pretty for a little baby or an adult.  Hayden for an adult won't be so good IMO.

I personally don't like either.  I know Hazel gets a lot of love around here but it sounds so harsh to me.

 If forced to pick I would choose Hayden, but mostly because I really don't like Hazel.

This.

Hazel >>>Hayden

Mae seems like a filler name and Elizabeth is pretty and classic.

Love PP's suggestion of Hazel Elizabeth.  Hazel Mae is the winner, IMO, if HE is not an option.

Hazel x1000.  Hayden does not sound remotely feminine to me and I have never understood its appeal as a girl name.

Hayden is just lumped in with all the other -Aiden/ayden names to me.

I'm usually a fan of the older, classic names, but I do not like Hazel and especially do not like Mae.

Really the only name I like from these four is Elizabeth.  Hayden is too trendy for my taste.

I could get behind Hazel Elizabeth, but if these two are the only options, I would have to go with Hayden Elizabeth.
