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)

Another suggestion, what about Phoebe Willow Addy?

DH and I have has agreed Orla doesn't work - so that's out. We don't know any Harper or Penelope's where we live (although heard of 1 Willow).

Elizabeth Addy is gorgeous - lovely name I just don't see us with an Elizabeth.

Penelope Rose Addy
Willow Rose Adie

Hmm...........

Emmeline Addy sounds sweet.

I think Emmeline is a beautiful name, but think Emmeline Addy will get called Emily Naddy every time she has to say her name over the 'phone, or to new people.
Phoebe is really pretty.

Yes Addy is hard name to match isn't it. I wouldn't put Harper with it either sorry
I would also avoid e or y sounding names.
Names I think sound nice with are
Isobel
Annabel
If I think of anymore. I will come back and post

I actually think Willow Addy flows nicely

Lunastarfish · 08/04/2015 20:25

Ah, When I saw your title I had assumed Addy was the middle name. As I didn't like that I didn't read the post or comment.

I'm not a fan of Harper. As others have said the Beckhams have tainted that.

I also hate Penelope (im perplexed but its sudden popularity- it was incredibky old fashioned when I was a child)

I had a cat called Willow so i'd never choose it but Orla is fab!!

We have today chosen Penelope Rose. Willow is still a favourite although decided on a traditional girly girls name which we are hoping won't date!

Thank you mumsnet ladies!!! Xo
