We have a 3 week old little girl. She's had a bit of a rocky start but is hopefully on the mend now. However she's still nameless and need help!

Shortlist is as follows

Cecilia /Celie
Eleanor
Iris
Willow (I know this is marmite but am very drawn to it especially because the tree is believed to have magical powers - bit ridiculous, but this touched a nerve after her rough start.)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My favs are 1. Iris (love it and on my short list) and 2. Celie (also love it, brilliant nickname that has never occurred to me and reminds me of The Color Purple).
I'm not a fan of Eleanor, I think I just know too many older ones and Ellie is just way too vanilla for me.
Willow does seem to mean the most to you, which is important. It's nice but, meaning aside, not as great as 1 & 2!

Willow Cecilia

or Celia Willow and call her Celie or Seals for nick name !

Willow is divine, though I also like Iris. Willow Iris?

I think you should have Willow as the name as you are so strongly drawn to it, and your baby is a little miracle and has healed herself.

Willow is so lovely. Next Cecilia - sounds beautiful. Other two are a bit wishy washy for me.

I love iris followed by Eleanor. I hate willow I'm afraid. It makes me think of buffy and I hated that character. I don't suppose that's a problem though as the show hasn't been on for years!
