willow?

[sophree]

My dp loves this name.
I love it to but think most people would hate it?
Honest opinion on willow ?

I think summer is a bit chavvy and India rather pretentious and "wannabe"...

Still love willow

I did like it but it has become too popular.

MIllie/Poppy/Daisy/Ruby/Lily were popular girls' names a few years ago and then became pets names. Willow is going the same way - I know several cats and dogs called Willow.

It still hasn't made the transition from tree to name for me.

I really like it. Also love Willa.

I was just "trying it" incase mine is a DD.... But the obvious shortening is "willy" or "wills"... Not so sure now....

It makes me think if weeping willow.

I think it's a sad name weeping willow

I love it! Was on my list for DD, but DH didn't love it.

On my list too!! Great name x

Was my name choice had ds been a girl. He's six foot one and has a chest measurement of 44". Glad he's a boy

No one calls my Willow any of those names . I won't tell you what her shortening is because it will probably out me but no one ever has called her Willy !!! It's a beautiful name , go for it !!

I will add as she is that bit older she is still the only one . There are quite a few now .. Annoyingly .

PM me the shortening jessie - I promise I won't tell!

I don't seem to be able to. Message me and I'll message back maybe( it's not that exciting really )

What a load of rubbish sodabreadjam, they were popular now dogs names... I'm not that keen on willow but it's not a dogs name to me, Ive met dogs called all sorts, George, Elizabeth, billy, Penelope, people call their pets what they are not brave enough to use most of the time, or they don't have any kids to use the name on. If you like willow go for it i say!

Very popular at the moment, but I'm not a fan

Makes me think of the Wicker Man, and also of a very naughty only I used to ride.

Pony!! A naughty pony.

It's pretty. And if you like it, go for it - doesn't matter what others think. But I do think it's worth considering PP's comment re:
might be a bit of a burden for a non-willowy child/adult. Like being a clumsy Grace, or a miserable Felicity.

Works the other way. I was very thin, lanky, pale and awkward at school and willow/willowy was one of my many nicknames which I hated. Pretty name though but didn't name my dd this in case she got my genes.

I have a Willow! We call her Wilomenia as a nickname! I like Lola as a shortened version!

I think it is a dogs , cats , pony name as I get a lot of that but I'm fine with it . I like cats , dogs and ponies ...Still love love love my dd name after all these years .

I love it if you haven't already guessed

I love it! One of my favourite names, it's cute but quite a strong name.

That was one of my names but never used it.All boys here.I think its beautiful and who cares what others think.Its your baby,call her Willow if you wish.
