Willow?

[sum04]

Hi,
Would love to hear opinions on the baby girl's name 'Willow'.

I love it. It was on my shortlist but DH vetoed it.

Same here queen

It is getting more popular though - in case that matters to you OP.

Lovely name how could a Wilow not be lovely

It's pretty.

But I would worry about the girl growing up to be short and stocky!

Lovely, very pretty.

awful

willlow as a material is bendy

I like it..

Just make sure the genes are on your side. :)

Needs to fit the person. Needs to be willowly. There are several Willows in our area. 1 is not Willowly and it just makes her size more noticeable somehow.

They seem to be popping up everywhere! The next Scarlett I'd say

Willow is my DDs middle name. We picked it as her first name and it was only near the end of the pregnancy we waivered a bit but decided to wait until she was born and decide. When she was born she was so feisty and just didn't look like a Willow,so it was downgraded to a middle name. It is a pretty name,I have met a teenage Willow recently who is short with dark brown hair,it suits her though and didn't make me think of her height at all. It is growing in popularity.

I know one Willow.She is 21,and tall and slender and fair,so a very good choice of name for her,but not for all .I also knew a Catkin.

I know 2 Willows. One is a beautiful redheaded girl, the other is a boy.

Ridiculous!

sounds a bit lame

I know a Willow also 21,tall slender and fair.. A lovely name..

(Have a feeling Hellymelly it may be the same one as you )

Too much of a risk. There was a Willow at school who was short and dumpy poor girl was subject to much sniggering. Unless you and both sets of grandparents are tall and very slim I wouldn't.

Love it.

Have a cousin who is called it and is wonderfully long and willowie but as mentioned, if your genetics might not lean this way then REALLY MEAN!

I-whip-my-hair-back-and-forth

etc.

It is a lovely name but now people will associate it with Will Smith's singing kiddie I fear.

So jelly do I know you? ooh.Quite mysterious and exciting.

It's a pretty name but I personally wouldn't use it for two reasons:

1. Most of my friends would assume I'd based it on the Buffy character (I am known as a keen BtVS fan).
2. I knew a Golden Retriever called Willow. She was a very nice Golden Retriever, but nonetheless, still a dog.

Lovely. I was tempted.

What about other tree names?

Larch anyone?

Spruce.
Pine.
Beech.
Yew.
Plane.
Birch.
Maple.
Oak.
Sycamore.
Juniper.

I know a Willow, and I do think that he only has to cry at school once, and someone will say Weeping Willow, and he will never live it down.
