I started a threat last week asking for opinions on Willow Addy or Orla Addy and got really negative feedback!! Our surname goes with nothing :(:( Feeling down today.

Thoughts on Harper Addy? Lynn or Rose as MN (both family members)

Ah! Sorry I thought it was a middle name that you were very insistent on!

I love Willow especially from your list but am not a fan of Harper tbh.

Sorry, that was a bit rude of me.

I can see it is a difficult surname. I would try and find a name that ends in a consonant, e.g. Kate, Helen etc . I know those two examples are a bit old fashioned but you get the idea. I'm too tired to think of anything modern!

Adele does go beautiful I just don't like it enough to use it! Nice name though!

I loathe Harper, it is my friends surname, so that doesn't help as to me it sounds like calling a little girl Rogers or Davies. Also there is the whole Beckham thing.
Like all the others though, and I think as long as you avoid names ending with a Y then most things work with your surname.

What about Adele, that goes with Addy.

Made a comment about Willow on your other thread. Don't use if short stocky types. You need to be willowy to be a Willow.

Won't people get confused with Harper Adams university?

Is Addy your surname or chosen middle name?

Ah wait, Lynn or Rose as middle?
Harper Lynn Addy
Willow Rose Addy

I think Harper and Willow are gorgeous names.
