Hawi

Weather inspired choices from Sunny to Stormi are currently in vogue, and Hazy could be a contender to replace 70s star Misty. Referring to fog and dry, dusty air, "haze" is an atmospheric phenomenon in which the visibility of the sky is obscured, in turn evoking imagery of hazy, summer days. Alternatively, it might be used a diminutive of popular Hazel, inspired by the likes of Daisy and Maisie.
 
In theory then, Hazy is a zippy, sweet, and stylish option, so why doesn't it rank? Well, for one, hazy weather is associated with pollution in the air, and for another, hazy also means "undefined, unclear, uncertain", relating to incomplete memories and (sometimes drunken) confusion. Not the ideal connotations for the bearer.
 
We recommend you go for Hazel with Hazy as a fun nickname, or perhaps consider another unusual weather-inspired choice — Soleil or Snow for example — or for some sound-alike choices, Zaylee, Zadie, Hayden or Taisie.
