Willow would be my choice

I really like Zoe.

I'm not so keen on Willow. It's very 'now' & I wouldn't personally choose it unless she's likely to be willowy of build.

Zoe it’s a lovely name it’s Greek and means life 😃 plus it’s my name so I’m bias

Threeandabit · 10/10/2017 21:12

Willow

Also really like Willa. .

Oooo I’ve always loved Willow, but I’ve been called Zoe for 43 years and love my name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/10/2017 21:33

Willow.

SumAndSubstance · 10/10/2017 21:34

Zoe

Allthecake · 10/10/2017 21:35

Zoe for me. Willow is, as pp have said, very now and also a lot of pressure if she turns out not to be skinny!

bringonyourwreckingball · 10/10/2017 21:38

I have a Zoe and think it's a great name. Still fairly unusual but not weird, everyone can spell it. Willow is lovely but a hostage to fortune if she turns out not terribly ethereal (my Zoe is definitely not a Willow)

OyyVeyy · 10/10/2017 21:38

Zoe.

CPtart · 10/10/2017 21:43

Zoe.

Sophronia · 10/10/2017 21:44

Zoe

SuperBeagle · 10/10/2017 21:45

Zoe by a million miles.

Not a fan of Willow at all.

CruCru · 10/10/2017 23:31

Definitely Zoe. Would you spell it Zoe or Zoë?

I think Zoe / Zoë would pigeonhole the child a lot less.

DiegoMadonna · 10/10/2017 23:34

Willow. Great name. Zoe is boring (imo)

Pemba · 11/10/2017 01:24

Zoe

Jooni · 11/10/2017 02:21

Both lovely, I agree Zoe is more timeless and would suit a wider range of people, so I vote that. Willow is beautiful though.

17caterpillars1mouse · 11/10/2017 08:00

Zoe though I prefer the spelling Zoey

MiriAmmerman · 11/10/2017 08:26

Zoë. Absolutely lovely. Have never been keen on Willow, and it’s more ‘now’. I think it will date more than Zoë. (For instance, I know a Zoë in her 40s, one in her 20s, and one who will be 2 in November. I know a much larger number of Willows, but they are all under 8).

TonicAndTonic · 11/10/2017 08:29

Zoe is lovely - I'd use it if it hadn't been used in my family already.

Tbh all the Willows that I know are cats!

mum2be2boys · 11/10/2017 10:04

Another vote for Zoe, it's a lovely name! :-)

Caulkheadupnorf · 11/10/2017 10:10

Zoë definitely.

Willow works well for an under 5.
