Just wondering the general thoughts

I have an Ivy-Rose and it always receives lots of compliments ☺️

Love it!!
I was too of my list for girl's names, but we've found out we are having a boy Smile

I do like it but really stuck on middle names to go with it

It's a gorgeous name, and of course I'm biased on this one. We've had loads of compliments on it. Our Ivy is a toddler and we've haven't met another one yet.

Yes!

Just sounds a bit old tbh. Bit like Iris.

Tactfulcactus · 30/06/2016 18:15

Sorry, not a name I like. Frumpy.

Not keen sorry, it has quite a hard sound to it. It's not a plant anyone seems keen to have, I've spent many hours ripping it out for people.

Oh I didn't realise it was becoming popular , I thought it was quite different from the Evie Elsie ect

Not particularly keen on it but I know 3 born over the past year so there are people who like it!

Pemba · 29/06/2016 22:56

Not mad on it, TBH, but I know it's quite popular/becoming more so, so you would certainly be on trend.

Sorry, I'm another one who thinks Corrie.

Even though it's years since she left. When a major character has an infrequently used name, it tends to cast quite a long shadow.

Lovely

velocitygir1 · 29/06/2016 22:33

My best friend is calling her daughter ivy after her nan. I think it's a stunning and quirky name...

Love it!

Numberoneisgone · 29/06/2016 22:23

A bit too old fashioned for me but then that should mean it is due a revival.

VanessaBet · 29/06/2016 22:22

Pretty. It's only a syllable different to Evie, but less used. And more grown up than flower names.

Beanzmeanzcoffee · 29/06/2016 22:20

I love it. It was our girl name but we had boys. Do think it's getting popular though.

Floggingmolly · 29/06/2016 22:17

It's lovely
