Yes, Fern would be the middle name and no, I didn't have IVF... We are dropping Ivy and using Fern for the middle

I'd use Fern. Ivy's veeeery trendy now. I work in maternity and have come across several Ivys but never seen a Fern. Plus, Ivy is still a crotchety old lady name to me.

Did you have fertility treatment to conceive? Cos she'll be Ivy F Surname. I have had IVF and spent a while thinking of related names which is why this jumped out at me...

Yes.

If I had to choose it would be Fern.

Dislike the name Ivy.

It's absolutely fine assuming Fern is a middle name and day to day she'll just be Ivy?

Ivy is a lovely name.

I don't like Fern.

Yes it's too botanical. Plus the names together don't even match. They're Lovely names in their own right but best kept separate.
I think I'd say Ivy is the prettiest

Fern, I immediately think of Fern Cotton. Ivy so unusual these days and my great grandma's name so am not unbiased!

Both are nice, but not together. I know an Ivy-Rose - which I think works better.
