popularity does put me off a bit but any name could become super popular! any middle name suggestions? Smile

I think Ivy is awful. Ivy is a persistent weed that you try your best to kill off. It's getting very popular now, though, as a name.

I love it. It was my grandmother's name and she hated it, which must have influenced me as I now wish I'd used it for DD.

I know one, but I think it's becoming more popular. Don't think about the Beyonce connection personally.

Love it!

I don't think Beyoncé. I love it. I only know one who is 15 and named after her grandmother.
My sister was going to be Ivy, but my dad thought it was too popular and they went with Evie instead, lots of 'oooh that's unusual'. Now look at how many there are!

I like it a lot! It is becoming increasingly popular though (I know many under 1!) and it was predicated to be one of the biggest climbers up the charts. But if popularity doesn't bother you go for it-I don't think of Beyoncé either.

Love it, but it's very popular where I am (Australia) now. It was number 14 in 2016.

I don't think it's too Beyonce, owing to its popularity.

I love it. I think it's a beautiful name and I didn't think of Beyoncé at all.
I had two aunts called Ivy when I was growing up, and I was very attached to one of them. Ivy I was born in 189-something, and Ivy B in 1920; I dont know any modern Ivys.
