[Opinions] Re: Hayes instead of Hazel
I think Haze can be a girl (short for Hazel) but to me Hayes is all boy. I know random surnames are popular as unisex names though, so maybe there are more people out there who would like Hayes on a girl.
Personally, using a surname like Hayes on a girl seems like a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to use an actual first name-- but maybe that's just because I don't like it. I like a lot of word names and some people would probably say that naming your baby after a word is a waste of an opportunity to use an actual name.
