Aveline

I've been wondering about a nickname for our new family member, Hazel. I was thinking it must be something unrelated. You know like "Jack" is a nickname for John.

I couldn't think of any. Not "Maggie", not "Shirley". Well what is the World Wide Web of Mr. Gore for?

According to Parenting.iVillage.com: Nicknames for Hazel are Aveline.

I am obviously not a naming expert; but, I don't understand a nickname being longer than the original name. This is like "William" is the nickname for Bill. or "Rumpelstiltskin" is the nickname for Hank.
