Baylie? That's a daft name. And it's spelt wrong.

Good god. Please don't burden any child with that name. Just because you're trying to be 'edgy'.

Sarah is perfectly pleasant,

Sarah's classic but a bit dull, Baylie is a puppy's name & Willow's a bit wafty but she might be able to carry it off.

Sorry - Baylie - I misspelt it (hah)

ExitPursuedByABronzeBear · 30/07/2012 01:09

How strange - your three name choices are totally unrelated to each other.

Sarah - Classic
Willow - airy fairy
Bailie - wtf

Willow. I wanted this for dd1 but got the thumbs down..Sad
Sarah..nice but I wouldn't
Baylie..maybe not.

motherofallhangovers · 30/07/2012 00:57

Willow, lovely name :)

Badgerina · 30/07/2012 00:55

Please not Baylie. It's awful. The other two are fine.

comedaygoday · 29/07/2012 23:12

1 Sarah: lovely, classic name.
2 Willow: ok but a bit trendy
3 Bailie: Don't like at all.

sarahseashell · 29/07/2012 21:31

Willow out of the three, depending on your surname. Sarah next

Pancakeflipper · 29/07/2012 21:29

Oh buggerydoodah.. Cannot control my iTouchthingy.

Slender..... Willows have to be slender. If there's a chance she won't be - ditch the name.

Pancakeflipper · 29/07/2012 21:27

If you opt for Willow you'll have to ensure your child grows up sl

ProfessorSunny · 29/07/2012 21:20

We have a few Willows at work but no Sarahs.

SrirachaGirl · 29/07/2012 21:19

Sarah. No contest.

No, no, no to Baylie.

baskingseals · 29/07/2012 21:17

Willow definitely

noisytoys · 29/07/2012 20:24

imsotired - my other dd is Saffron. Goes really well with Willow Grin

thegreylady · 29/07/2012 19:58

Sarah-a beautiful classic name-means princess
Willow-very 'today' I know several aged between 1 and 5.I like it but I think it will date.
Baylie is really awful however you spell it [sorry]

Olympicnmix · 29/07/2012 19:55

Sarah by a mile

Then Willow (as long accent doesn't have a nasal twang or flat vowels, as the name loses all prettiness pn this way)

And not Baylie/Bailey

DialsMavis · 29/07/2012 19:47

Love Willow
Sarah is not my cup of tea, but there is nothing wrong with it I suppose
Baylie is awful

Dogsmom · 29/07/2012 19:26

Definitely Sarah, it's pretty, suits any age and timeless.
I'd maybe name a rabbit Willow and every other golden retriever is named Bailey.

Puremince · 29/07/2012 19:25

Willow or Sarah, but definitely not Baylie.

FrillyMilly · 29/07/2012 19:24

Willow is my favourite.

Sarah isn't that unusual as its still in the top 100 names.

Baylie - is that even a real name?

imsotired · 29/07/2012 19:22

my dd is called Sarah and she is 8. there is only one other child in her school called Sarah, and she is in year 1.

I like Willow, although what do you match that with when another comes along? Heath? Heather? Hazel?

exoticfruits · 29/07/2012 19:19

Sarah is lovely. (don't like the others)

worryingwillow · 29/07/2012 19:14

Baylie is hideous, Bailey is quite cute.

Sarah is nice but a bit plain, Emma is kind of similar and really pretty?

Willow - naturally I love it.

Sarcalogos · 29/07/2012 19:10

Willow is a naice name.

Sarah is a classless classic name.

Baylie is ridiculous. (IMHO obviously don't flame me...)
