My baby is due this month but totally stuck on a middle name! What do you think goes well with Willow? At the moment I like Willow Rose but not sure if two nature names is a bit much!!

Louise used to be very popular! Along with Marie & Jane!!
Saying that, my middle name is Marie & my sisters is Jane!

I think we need to be a bit more original ha

How about a winter name? (A fair few Celtic ones! Got any Celtic heritage?)

Willow Freya
Willow Estelle
Willow Seren
Willow Esther
Willow Tara
Willow Tana
Willow Hermione
Willow Eira
Willow Aneira
Willow Rhiannon
Willow Biera

Freya = Norse Yule Goddess
Hermione from Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale
Estelle / Seren / Esther / Tara = star (as in the Christmas star)
Tana = Star or Fire Goddess
Eira = snow (Welsh, pronunced AY-ra)
Aneira from Eira (prounouced ann-AY-ra)
Rhiannon - a goddess of the winter solstice
Beira = Scottish Queen of Winter and the mother of all the gods and goddesses in Scottish mythology (pronounced Bair-ra I think)

Longer middle names

Willow Madeleine

Willow Briar

Willow Magdalena

Willow Thalia (Thalia was the "Muse of joyous comedy", so perhaps you'd end up with a happy, nature-loving baby!).

One syllable middle names

Willow Niamh/ Neve

Willow Leigh

Willow Brook(e) (If you do decide on a double nature name!).

Best of luck for a safe and speedy delivery Flowers

Wow. What a brilliant, creative collection! And I like the 'winter' theme.

AutumnalLeaves38 thanks :) I love the baby names game when there's no pressure as it's someone else's baby (DD didn't get a name till she was 2 weeks old!)

Willow Niamh is lovely :)

Neve is "Snow" in Spanish too IIRC so that's winter-themed too.
