Opinions on the name Meadow?

[SoonToBeAMummyToADD]

I'm due a daughter soon. I'm looking for something a bit unusual, but still pretty sounding.

I came across the name Meadow - what do you think?

Lovely but I'd use it as a middle name.

I love nature names, but Meadow doesn't feel like a human name to me. Does anything along the lines of Megan, Willow, Primrose appeal?

OP:

Do you love it? Does it make you feel good? (Aside from some of the comments here, that is.)

If it does, then go for it.

Really - no matter how suitable or popular a name is, there will always be detractors. That tells you nothing about your feelings or the name's suitability for your daughter.

I know a Meadow. It suits her

It's definitely a name, and I quite like it. I know, who also has a nature-y surname, which I think is a bit much. But with most surnames it would probably work fine.

That should have said I know one!

My mn is Leigh which means meadow, I'd much prefer to have meadow as my mn.

It has a lovely sound to it.

As a nature name fan I quite like it, but I'm the poster who was ridiculed for liking Clover 😂 I didn't win that one, but I think you should use Meadow!

I like Meadow - go for it!

I think it's very pretty. And I wouldn't be concerned about when she's in a professional job... she can be Dr M SoonTo , or it will just look like one of those surnames as first names things. worst case scenario, people will think she is American

not keen, but purely because there's a council estate called Meadow View where I live (nothing wrong with estates per se; I live on one myself)

I know 3 sisters (aged 5,3 & a baby) called - Meadow, Autumn & Rainbow

I shit you not!

However I do like Summer, and a PP's suggestion of Melody, Elodie is also lovely

I love it, but then I really loved The Sopranos

You can have my recipes for baked ziti and brashool if interested.

I love it.
My friend's daughter is Meadow. They are huge Sopranos fans, though.

I really like it OP.

If you went by MN then every girl would be those awful granny-chic-try-hard names.

I wouldn't use it if your surname is Green or with a colour based name eg Amber Meadow but I like it.
Other nature names I like are Summer, April, Autumn, Skye, Heather, Amber, Fern... (Mae/May is overused though ) the word makes me think of Laura in the intro of Little House on the prairie.

As for Meadow not being a professional name - if Condaleeza Rice can make it any other name can. (It looks like a made up spelling which is number one sin in MN land.)

The current generation of children are used to a much wider variety of names than we are so what we consider "unprofessional" now won't be when they are adults.

Meadow fresh is the fragrance of my fabric conditioner

Don't like it, sorry.

Not a fan. I do like Willow, and months/seasons as names though.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

But then I think I may have been the lone voice of support on scarydinosaur's Clover thread!

No.

Usually I prefer traditional names but I actually quite like Meadow. It sounds both soft and strong.

Holly is a nature name

I know a baby Meadow and it's a cure name.

nocapes many years ago now I had a batty pregnant moment and considered Rainbow for a girl and Meteor for a boy. XP did spend a lot of time with a face when I was coming up with names.

cute not cure.
