Which name is better?

Question

Nadya or Hazel? Why?

Answer 1

i like hazel becuz it sounds better to me.

Answer 2

I like Nadya better because it's a pretty name, to me. I know some people who dislike Nadya, but I disagree with them. I like how you spelled it with the y instead of the i. In Slavic, the spelling "Nadia" means Hope.
Hazel is a nice name, too, but I prefer Nadya. In Celtic or Gaelic, Hazel means Hazel Tree.

Answer 3

Hazel, and only Nadya if it's spelled Nadia lol. Nadya just sounds too hard and abrupt to say, with the -ya right after the -d-.

Hazel is really pretty though - Nadia Hazel? Hazel Nadia?

Answer 4

Nadya without a doubt.
When I hear Hazel I think of either the old TV program with the same name (she was a maid) or the Bugs Bunny cartoon with witch Hazel in it.

Answer 5

I like Nadya it's different. Hazel to me sounds old fashioned.

Answer 6

I like Nadya, it's a bit more modern than Hazel.
And Hazel reminds me of the nut.
I especially like the way you spelled Nadya - with an "y", that's more interesting than with a simple "i"

Answer 7

I like Nadya. It's not that common and Nadya sounds very classy, exotic and feminine.
Hazel on the other hand sounds old fashioned and like some stingy old lady.
So I like Nadya better.

Answer 8

I'm not fond of either name, Hazel especially. If you are only going to let us choose between the two, I would take Nadya.

Answer 9

Hazel. It just sounds nicer. I never liked the name Nadya

Answer 10

I think Nadya is very pretty. Hazel is pretty too but that would depend on the middle name for me.

Answer 11

Nadya - Personally it sounds european to me and I like it. A fairly professional name.

vs. Hazel - a description.
