Iris Olivia is my fave from your list. What about Emily rose?

bridgetreilly · 26/05/2019 12:41

And a vote for Iris Olivia from me OP!

Sugarformyhoney · 26/05/2019 12:45

Ivy Bluebell!

SachaStark · 26/05/2019 12:45

Iris Olivia is very beautiful.

Ivy Bluebell is quite similar to the name of Beyoncé’s child- it’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it. But then, you might not mind that?

Can’t stand the name Willow, sorry. I don’t understand why it’s suddenly so popular, it’s not a very pretty name.

ANewDawn10 · 26/05/2019 12:46

All are lovely! Ivy bluebell is my favorite. It sounds so pretty too

historyrocks · 26/05/2019 12:48

Iris Olivia

FloatingObject · 26/05/2019 12:49

I'm sorry I dont like any of them. All a bit twee and sickly for my liking. There's a trend lately for really overly feminine names.

f83mx · 26/05/2019 12:49

Iris Olivia my fave too - emelia rea sounds like.... (sorry!) a contagious disease or something to me!

lucymegan · 26/05/2019 12:49

@whatwouldbigfatfannydo that wouldn't bother me lol. I don't associate names with other people or things.

Ivy is great, not Bluebell though.
Iris is nice.

Littlecaf · 26/05/2019 13:12

Is the baby born yet? Maybe wait and see what suits but have a preference?

LakieLady · 26/05/2019 13:12

Going against the grain here but:

Iris just makes me think of eyeballs

Ivy runs the risk of being called Poison Ivy

Willow seems to be getting popular to the point of being common

Therefore, Emilia Rae is my favourite.

GreenEyedDevil · 26/05/2019 13:13

Iris Olivia

Boneshere · 26/05/2019 13:15

I know of three Emily Rose's, it's very over used.

You will have to wait until you see her. She may be a "Heather Tinkerbell"

Leeds2 · 26/05/2019 13:25

I prefer Iris Olivia.
Also like Ivy, but not with Bluebell.
Not too keen on Willow.

KarmaStar · 26/05/2019 13:30

Bluebell Grace 💖

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 26/05/2019 13:34

I wouldn't have two names that are similar. E.g. emilia rea ending the same - I'd go for Emilia Rae

Also wouldn't have Ivy and Bluebell - sounds like you are crazy about plants if you have them together.

Iris Bluebell?
