To name dd Willow

[Pieinthesky11]

When ds 7 is named William (different last names)

Pregnant and due in 10 days.

HELL, NO.

Use as a middle name if you’re that keen.

Both fab names, but no

I've heard worse combos, but no I wouldn't do it.

They will be able to hear the difference between Wills and Willow. They’re not dogs FGS.

I do know two names so similar is a daft idea, but just can't find another I like as much

In your experience, what is Willow shortened as?

Why would you do that??

cANT YOU HAVE CARYS WILLOW INSTEAD

oops sorry didnt realise lock was on

the pronunciation emphasis on both names is different with William being a longer first syllable emphasis and Willow being a longer second syllable emphasis.

That isn’t how most people pronounce Willow, is it? I’ve only ever heard it with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Lovely name but not with a William I’m afraid.

Too similar, but I also think of Willow butter in a gold foil wrapper, not sure if it is still made though or if the wrapper is still the same assuming it is.

I wouldn't do that!

The names just sound too similar, even if they do have different surnames etc

William and Willow sounds like a comedy pair IMO

Willow is a beautiful name, but it carries strong associations.
Willowy means slender.
So if your Willow gets puppy fat or is an overweight person, it's added grist to the bullies mill.
Plus there is the well known pussy Willow, again offering up a distressing nickname.
For me those risks push it into the "lovely but no" category.
My friend who very nearly called her DD Willow ended up with a Stella instead.

Eleanor is a beautiful name

Ember is porny

Huge Wicker Man fan here OP. Do It! (Britt Ekland's character is Willow)

I mean they are different but very similar, also the styles are very different. What about another plant/flower/nature name? Magnolia, Marigold, Meadow, etc.

I think its a little too similar TBH! maybe use as a second name?

Only issue is the nickname 'Will', so you might have to go with 'Billy' or similar for William's nickname.

I deliberated over this (well for 5 seconds!) I think Willow is a lovely name but it’s too much of a tongue twister, but you will get used to it if you love the name then do it

Bad idea and willows are ten a penny these days.

Willow is slang for a clitoris - so no.

Yabu if your surname is tree.

Eleanor.
