Hiya, this is hyperthetical at the moment - just starting TTC DC2.
Went to Willows farm today & thought that Willow would make a really pretty girls name.
What are your thoughts?

Agree with Totally (but I still love it!)

TotallyEggFlipped · 02/04/2013 21:47

But I still like it!

TotallyEggFlipped · 02/04/2013 21:47

It always makes me think of Warwick Davis in the film Willow.

Ladyemem · 02/04/2013 20:35

wouldnt say i love it but i like it

Graceparkhill · 02/04/2013 20:29

I love it. Very lyrical.

jellybeans · 02/04/2013 20:26

I dislike it.

HootShoot · 02/04/2013 20:23

Massive Buffy fan here too, so I love the name! I wanted to name our daughter Willow but my husband was mean and wouldnt let me. The only thing that slightly put me off was Willow Smith emerging and waving her hair and she is VERY annoying!!

Frikadellen · 02/04/2013 20:17

Yes I like it

MrsOakenshield · 02/04/2013 20:13

lovely. I like 'nature' names - River, Summer, Sky, that kind of thing. We would have called DD Summer but for her being born in the depths of winter! And Winter's a crap name.

Shinyshoes1 · 02/04/2013 20:13

Love it . It's a unisex name . I'd use it for a boy too

willyoulistentome · 02/04/2013 20:12

Ooooh actually, yes, really nice.

MummyNoName · 02/04/2013 20:10

Shock That's my girls name!!

Love it! Grin

CheshireDing · 02/04/2013 20:10

I like Willow. I don't know why but it seems a bit of a daring name to me (but then I really wanted River for a boy!)

I have heard Willow a few times but for older children. It's pretty. Foliage names seem to be very popular, I heard a Daisy yesterday and we have a Poppy.

I like it, being a Buffy fan. The only thing that would concern me, is that it is a name that only really works in English speaking countries.

RightUpMyRue · 02/04/2013 19:40

Like you, pretty.
