Names similar to Hazel

Didn't tell anyone we wanted to name our daughter Hazel and now my husband's grandparents who we see fairly regularly have adopted a dog called Hazel.

Would be weird for them to have the same name but we can't seem to think of a name we like as much.

I feel like it's such a warm cosy name that isn't too common but not weird either.

Oh man this sucks and what are the chances! How often do you see his grandparents? Could they change the dogs name if you explained.

Names I can think of, Willow, Autumn

My niece is named Lavender nicknames Lav or Lavvy, turned out being the perfect name for her

we see them every month or two! I like Willow but my partner doesn't. I do like Autumn but there was a girl I went to school with who had that name and some nasty girls used to call her Au-tummy because she was slightly overweight and I would be worried about that being the same for my daughter :(

I like Maple it has the same kind of vibe as Hazel but neither me nor my husband can see it as a first name

lav/lavvy where we live in England is a nickname for the toilet so I don't think it would work very well here 🙈 my family use it a lot

I mean I’d go with hazel

It’s literally a dog- dog and human are not the same

Maybe they can rename it if it’s adopted x

I have a friend who loved a name so much, shared it with family, struggled with infertility for years and her SIL ended up getting a dog and naming it the name she had picked out 🙃 obviously entirely different scenario, BUT my friend was so excited for her baby when she finally conceived and it stuck that she named her baby that name anyway. I would say screw it and use the name you love. If you are set on changing it, we named our daughter Ivy and it feels similar. Maple, Olive, Willow, and Mabel also have a similar feel imo. We are naming this baby girl Daisy, one of our runner ups was Clementine.

Or honestly ask if they can call the dog Pretzel or something 🤣

Personally, I wouldn't change or make concessions for the name you've wanted for your child. Not to sound morbid, but chances are she's more than likely going to outlive the dog anyway! So I'd say go for it!!!

Mabel, Freya, Aubrey are lovely
My 3yo daughter is called Bessie and I just love how rare that name is

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
