Oh Willow Grace is stunning.

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

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 · 08/02/2013 19:36

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! Grin

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 Smile

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 · 10/02/2013 12:21

before, nor befor

badtime · 10/02/2013 12:23

not, not nor Blush

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 · 11/02/2013 15:02

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!

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