Doris, Hazel, or Pippa?

What do you think of these names? And which one do you like the most?
We prefer something a bit different from the usual names (not all those Ninas, Livas, Novas, Lunas, Noras, Junas, Linas, etc. that are so trendy right now). And a bit tough .
Other names are also welcome! We also like Cato, but I'm afraid this name is too common.

    I don't like Doris that much. I like Hazel, but it doesn't really fit in the Netherlands.
    I like Pippa, but Cato is much nicer. Although that one does come up more often, indeed.
    Maybe:
    Alix, Clea, Dané, Febe, Jade, Josie, Laure, Mara, Niké, Rava, Riva, Suze, Tara, Tirze, Thirza, Ziva

    Doris and Hazel are both lovely names.

    Honestly, I'm slightly in love with all three of these names. You can't go wrong.
    Doris is classic, tough, nice in Dutch but also international. Retro.
    I think Hazel is awesome. Maybe some people will pronounce it as Haazel instead of Heezel.
    Of these three, I like Pippa the least, but it's still very nice. Also international and great in Dutch, and with Pip it's a cute nickname too (instead of Hees for Hazel, diminutive Doortje is of course sweet).

    Pippa! I really think it's such a lovely name! It was at the top of my list, but my husband wasn't so keen haha! I also think Philippa is beautiful, but maybe that's a bit too classic for your taste?

    Cato is also cool, that'll be our daughter's middle name!

    If I have to choose between these names, then Pippa. But if you like something special and original, Lente or Sterre might also be nice?

    Hazel!!! Pronounced as Heezel

  10. Anonymous Guest #11

    I think Pappa is the cutest!
    Doris reminds me a bit too much of old 60s/70s films but it's a nice name overall.
    Hazel I find nice in English and in English-speaking countries, but not really for here.

    Sorry autocorrect is at it again with my text. I of course mean Pippa

    My 6-month-old daughter is named Doris. I’d say: go for it!!

    Hazel! But I'm afraid there might be a lot of confusion about the pronunciation. Then I'd go for Doris.
