Middle name for Willow

30 replies

gossipgirl28 · 20/06/2019 13:19

Hi,

I had my little girl a few days ago who we have named Willow.

Just looking for some middle name ideas for her.

My middle name is may. I'm not sure whether to give her a traditional name like Isobel or use my middle name or just go for something different. I love floral names but not sure if Willow Ivy for example is too much.

Any suggestions? Thanks xoxo

Ivy came straight to my mind I have no idea why as it's not a name I would ever consider but I think it goes nicely.

Willow Eve?

Willow May is lovely

Like the previous suggestions of:

Willow May
Willow Amberley
Willow Rae
Willow Jane

WhereForArtThouBray · 20/06/2019 21:04

I like Willow Jade, or Willow Jane.

CremeEggThief · 20/06/2019 21:03

I second a previous poster's suggestion of Willow Eliza. Or how about Willow Marie or Willow Rosa?

Starlive23 · 20/06/2019 21:02

Harper?

youarenotkiddingme · 20/06/2019 21:02

Willow Rose and Willow Ray came to mind before I read your OP.

Willow is a beautiful name.

You could also use Willow June if she was born in June!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/06/2019 21:00

Willow Evelyn
Willow Abigail
Willow René
Willow Rosabelle

JumboJunior · 20/06/2019 20:55

Willow Rayne

GrammerlyH · 20/06/2019 20:53

What about Willow Elouise? I can’t work out if it’s a mouthful or not but I really like it!

Also like the pp’s suggestion of Willow June and I like Willow Kate.

What does your surname begin with as that might rule some names out?

My first thought was Eve

PreseaCombatir · 20/06/2019 19:30

Larke

Loveislandaddict · 20/06/2019 19:26

Rose was my immediate thought.

Other suggestions:
Tansy
Jemima
Pearl
Merle

I agree, too many nature names together might be odd.
May is nice.

diddlediddle · 20/06/2019 19:22

May, Rose, and Grace are extremely popular middle names at the moment so I'd probably avoid them. Although, if you used May of course it would be after you which could be nice.

I wouldn't use another nature name alongside Willow, I think it cheapens what is a lovely first name. So that rules out Ivy and flower names.

Are there other family names you could use? Or what about June - a nice name, a nod to your middle name and also she was born in June.

Tinytomato2 · 20/06/2019 17:33

Amberley

Shadow1234 · 20/06/2019 17:31

Willow Blossom

Sophronia · 20/06/2019 16:09

I’d go with a traditional mn. Willow Isobel is nice.

Willow Charlotte
Willow Audrey
Willow Catherine
Willow Dorothy
Willow Emily
Willow Eliza
Willow Florence
Willow Hannah
Willow Matilda
Willow Marianne
Willow Olivia
Willow Rebecca
Willow Susannah

BarryBarryTaylor · 20/06/2019 15:51

Willow May is very classy. But as it’s a middle name and they are hardly ever used I would be tempted to go a bit more out there...
I look after a little girl who has the mn Sparkle
