Ivy for a Christmas baby?

[Mumoftheark]

Hi all, I'm due at Christmas time and love the name Ivy, however I'm not sure if a Christmas baby called Ivy is a bit of an eye roller?
What are your thoughts? X

People won't really make that much of a connection it's quite a popular name anyway. I think it's fine

I have a Christmas baby and on my MN bus we had a Holly and Noel. For 51 weeks of the year you forget they were born in December, so there isn't really an eye rolly connection, don't worry!

It's a lovely name, go for it

Ivy, is lovely, any time of year, go with it ! 😄

Thanks ladies :)

I don't associate Ivy with Christmas at all.

And it's a very popular name at the moment, so that weakens any connection even further.

I like the name.

I think it's nice to honour the season. My baby was born in January but if she had been early she would probably be called Celyn (Welsh for Holly).

My grandmother was born on Christmas Day 1922 and is called Ivy! It's a beautiful name so go for it! If I'm ever lucky enough to have a DD, I will be using it 😊

If I ever have another DD, Ivy will be her name. It's lovely

Lovely name and I don't think people will say, "so I guess you were a Christmas baby" It's a year-round name I would say.

Woo hoo it's officially going on the list.

I didn't realise it was becoming popular, I have a 5 & 3 year old and am yet to come across any. Is it Evie Ava Eva popular?

I know a baby Ivy and agree that it's getting v popular.
It's a nice name though OP - stick it on the list!

I know of two newborn Ivys. Cute and def popular

I'm in NSW, Aus, but Ivy was the 15th most popular name in 2016. Evie was 13th and Ava was 4th. So it's definitely up there where I live, at least.

Beautiful name!

Perfect, a lovely name

Go for it. I think it's increased in popularity as have many flower names (Iris, Violet etc) but I don't think Ivy is overly (Ava) popular

Ivy is to Ava what Olive is to Olivia. On trend but a less common choice.

Great name and I don't think the Christmas connection is eye-rolly. I think it's sweet.

Celyn is a boy's name. Holly is so much nicer.

Christmas names could include Natalie/Natasha.

I love it, I'm due 20th December and it's on my list, although I didn't even think of the connection with Christmas !

I like the name Ivy, and I think it should be more popular given that Holly is pretty mainstream. I've never met a little one, I've met a couple of quite old ones and a lady who would now be in her 40s.

Mike, Celyn is absolutely not a boys name. I know a 25 year old and a 2 year old Celyn, both female.

Its a beautiful name. I never clocked the christmas connection when i had my ivy (very early jan). I only realised when her first christmas came around!

It is getting more popular but we've only come across 2 others at various toddler groups and shes the only ivy in her nursery.

Go for it its lovely

Lovely, maybe you do but it is a boy's name. It doesn't mean that it can't be given to girls.
