What does everyone think of ivy

[Laststop]

Just wondering the general thoughts

I really dislike it. It has a really ugly sound to me.

i really dislike it but I don't like all the old-fashioned frumpy granny names like this that are so popular on MN. Also poison ivy, creeping ivy. No.

I like it, but as said above put off it due to hours ripping the stuff out! And it is becoming a bit popular, yes. Not that that matters of course.

I love it. Dont know any round my way.

I think it's one if those names that will end up sounding very dated as you can easily pinpoint an Ivy's age - either over 80 or under 5. There are very few in between.

Personally, I don't like it at all. I class it along the same lines as Olive and Myrtle, one of those old lady plant names that is frumpy and unattractive. But lots of people disagree with me. I'm a midwife and I've come across several of them in the past year or so and I think it's top 50 now and will definitely continue to rise. Another reason why I think it will end up dated is that it's got popular very quickly.

I love it, it's my Mom's name. She was named after her aunt and a large part of me wishes the name had been passed on to me rather than the 60s/70s name I was saddled with.

Makes me think of Beyonce now. So sounds a bit aspirational towards fame.

Aspirational towards fame, because a "celeb" has used it??
Beyoncé choosing a perfectly ordinary name instead of a collection of random letters or names of vegetables doesn't put that name out of common usage

'Blue' you mean?

Awful, sorry.

I really like it.

Havent heard of anyone named it under the age of 90 yet

My Ivy-Rose is very fiesty and sweet. I've only had positive reactions to it ☺️

She uses the whole of her name too, rather than just Ivy. I think because they're both short names it works, without being too Walton's.

I know an ivy. Of All the flowery or gardeny names it's my least favourite.

I can't help but pronounce it I.V. - as in 'intravenous drip'. But I know that's ridiculous

It's the name of my cat

Poison... Sorry

Ah the cat not everyone likes the same names but just wanted a general opinion , I do like it but not 100% I just have no other ideas

I don't like it and it doesn't travel well into other languages (which may or may not bother you).

Love it. It's the name of one of Courtney Adamo's (Instagram royalty) girls and if her photos are anything to go by she has impeccable taste.

I love Ivy! Sounds lovely with shortish middle names
