Really struggling as we thought we were having a boy, so far we have either

Honey Victoria pearl (surname here)
Or
Ivy Victoria pearl

Thoughts?

Ivy definitely.

Having once witnessed a young male Starbucks barista get told off by a customer for calling his female colleague Honey (she hadn't noticed the name on her badge), I would avoid it as a first name.
Go with Ivy or better still Victoria

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 27/06/2016 10:55

why not just Victoria Pearl?

Love Ivy. Honey sounds like a stripper, sorry

I like both but agree Ivy would be better when the baby is a woman

NerrSnerr · 27/06/2016 08:27

I agree with the others. I much prefer Ivy.

EllenDegenerate · 27/06/2016 08:18

Im not keen on Honey at all.

So Ivy. I love Pearl but im assuming that its not in the running as a first name.

Ivy

KoalaDownUnder · 27/06/2016 08:12

Ivy.

Honey is best left as a term of endearment, I think.

VIP initials aren't bad:) I think there was even a study about how initials like this have a positive impact on people.Smile

I like Victoria Ivy Pearl too, but VIP initials?

1horatio · 26/06/2016 17:11

Ivy is lovely.

Victoria Ivy Pearl would be nice as well.

Ilovewillow · 26/06/2016 17:00

Ivy is lovely! I like honey but it seems to be a name for a younger child rather than an adult!

Scarydinosaurs · 26/06/2016 17:00

Ivy

Buttwing · 26/06/2016 16:59

100% Ivy.

Ivy

Not particularly keen on Ivy, but to me 'honey' is either something you spread on toast, or a term of endearment, not a name.

Hastalapasta · 26/06/2016 16:45

Ivy, am a fan of botanical names generally.

Ivy. Honey makes me think of Honey Boo Boo. I can't imagine a middle aged woman called it. And you might get Hun for short. Ivy is lovely and goes well with Victoria Pearl.
