What are your thoughts on Willow for a girl?

I really like it - although it does make me think of kittens (friends kitten called Willow).

Gorgeous, I know an enchanting little Willow

Hippy

Ridiculous. Don't do it.

Would always think of Willow from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which is fine except I would consider it a showbiz name.

Two in our playgroup to my surprise.
I have a Rowan, would Willow go with that?
I need another baby.

Gosh Mardy my dp is quite chunky (broad, big boned with high muscle density rather than actually fat ifyswim) so if she takes after him then Willow could turn out to be a misnomer.

I love it but tend to prefer other more traditional names so worry that it will become a faddy name.

my niece is called Willow and I love it. Her sister is Lily though, be careful of too many "Ls" - they are often called Lilo and Willy.....

I like it but if you child turns out to be chunky rather than willowy, it might be a little harsh.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 18/10/2010 14:35

yes yes I like it

chickentwizzler · 18/10/2010 14:35
