[ohmygoshtake2yay]

i love willow. i was thinking willow grace??
im from nottingham if that makes differance!

ive just come back from center parcs and heard the names ella/eve/evie loads.

fren is pretty but makes me think of fern cotton :)

[Astley]

Oh Willow Grace is stunning.

Go for a name you love, not one you want just to be different.

[ohmygoshtake2yay]

thank you astley im glad you like it!!

[MoonHare]

Some lovely ideas here OP. I love Esme too and have one but I'm led to believe its gaining hugely in popularity - not as fast as Willow though, which while not top 50 did go from only 24 babies named this in 1996 to 511 in 2010. I know one who is 4yrs old.

Moonhare... Where do u get your stats from please? Would love to get some more info....

[MoppingMummy]

There are hundreds of Ellas, Evies and Isabellas around. I have an Esme & have never met another Esme or Willow despite having 3 children aged 1-9, attending lots of toddler groups & being a teacher!

[ohmygoshtake2yay]

i also like erin. i found out we were having a girl yesterday and tbh i really thought i was having another boy and had my heart set on casper DS is called finley.
girls names are so much harder to think of then boys. so thanks for your help xx

[RobinSparkles]

I think that Esme is on the rise. I have met two recently - one toddler and one newborn. I think it's lovely though!

Willow Grace is very pretty - lovely to hear you're having a girl ...
I've got one of each and they've been great friends by the way

[badtime]

MoonHare, bear in mind that 1996 was the year befor Buffy the Vampire Slayer started; you would expect Willow to rise in popularity after that. It doesn't mean that it is rising fast now.

[badtime]

before, nor befor

[badtime]

not, not nor

[NowPlayingZone]

Think moonhare's stats are from names.darkgreener.com. It's a fab site.

2012 rankings show Esme as 62nd & Willow 65th. Erin 32nd!

I prefer Erin of your choices but maybe keep all three in mind til she's here. One of them may just suit here best.

[aufaniae]

Willow and also Esme are both lovely IMO :)

Not too keen on Grace tbh. It's a lovely name in its own right, but Grace Rose and May are the default middle names of our time, it seems almost every little girl born in the last few years has one of these as their middle name! i just couldn't bring myself to do it!

But if popularity doesn't bother you go for it!

[VictorAndBarry]

Lydia
Juliet
Grace
Erica
Phillipa

[ohmygoshtake2yay]

Yes I was looking at darkgreener.com - so interesting and useful for trend spotting.
