Oh definitely Willow. I think it's more unusual, and I like the sound of it

I love all of them :) And they all sound lovely with the middle name choices too. Willow has become a very popular girls choice most recently, I like how its different

All nice.
I'm biased as i have a Daisy :)

Willow would be last on that list for me. Not sure Joy or Elizabeth goes with that name.

Thanks for the responses. My favourites are Holly and Jasmine and DP likes Daisy and Willow, although I do like them very much too. It's just so difficult trying to choose, I'm so indecisive!

Holly. It's stronger and a bit less wafty than the others. I do prefer the spelling Hollie though, as it's not as obviously Christmassy.

I like Willow but Holly is my favourite.

Not keen on Daisy (I think it is to cutesy for a middle aged woman, and will date) but the others are very nice -- couldn't go wrong with any of the remaining three.

Jasmine Elizabeth (I would avoid Jasmine Joy as too many Js)
Holly Elizabeth (I would avoid Holly Joy as it is far too Christmassy)
Willow Joy
Willow Elizabeth

Jasmine at a push.
Not really keen on any, I agree, rather twee.

Daisy and Willow, I have a cousin called Willow and one called Hazel, gorgeous names.

I like Willow and Holly. Perhaps you could wait and see what she looks like once you see scan or her if you can't decide.

Holly by far more classic than the others. Holly Elizabeth is lovely .

My little sis is Daisy, well I say little she's actually 20 now and taller than me which she loves pointing out! She has always really suited her name and we've always loved it. She has 2 middle names, one of which is Elizabeth. Obv I am biased but Daisy Elizabeth is lovely! It has never seemed too much of a cute, babyish name for her so far in life and can't see it ever doing really.

I like Willow too

I am not keen on any but definitely not Willow.
Holly is the best, but spell it properly and not the suggestion of Hollie.

Love your names in this order:
Daisy, Jasmine, Willow and then Holly. The first three are so pretty and feminine, Holly is a bit stronger.

They're all lovely names Smile

I love Holly Joy but would be very Christmassy!

Willow is by far the best, it's the least twee.

I see your dilemma - they are all lovely and am struggling to say which unlike best! I think Holly or Jasmine just about pip the others, although I agree with a pp that Williw has a lovely sound. Daisy brings up the rear, but still a very lovely name.

Thanks for the comments. Think it's going to be hard to make a decision and we may just decide once she's born. Would like to at least narrow it down to 2 before then though.
