When Julia Roberts named one of her twins Hazel, there was a great public outcry against "another one of those nutty celebrity names." But we don't see why. Now that the old Hazel the Maid cartoon has faded from view, we're left with a pleasantly hazy, brownish-green-eyed, old-fashioned image of Hazel we predict more and more parents will want to share. Since it reentered the popularity lists in 1998, it has jumped 648 points.

In addition to being a celebrity pick, Hazel is a nature name, coming from the hazelnut tree.
