Willow, Violet or Annie

I need help! We are down to three names and time is ticking.

Willlow - by far my favourite but DS1 is William (we call him Billy 99% of the time). Too similar?
Violet - family significance, but doesn’t flow great with our frigative surname
Annie - boring but I do like but can’t quite picture it on my own child

Help! Also open to suggestions!

Thanks for all the input everyone. Lots to mull over. I think I’ve completely gone of Annie anyway.

Willow is lovely but William and Willow is ridiculous!

Violet is also lovely

moredoll · 06/09/2018 22:41

Anna. Def not Willow with William.

Willow and William is cute. My children are named Layla & Layton, i like their names being alike 😘👌🏼

I know you said you were open to suggestions, so how about Iris?

MeyMary · 07/09/2018 07:38

Tansy would be nice imo. :)

Other suggestions:
Clementine, Ivy, Bryony, Dawn, Olive, Skye, Flora, Fern, Farley, Winter, Calla, Clover.

Anna, Hannah, or Vanya (the Russian version of Anna) then call her Annie. Billy and Annie are adorable together.

Isn't Vanya a Russian NN for Ivan?

Hannah is super pretty :)!

Are these definitely names you like? You seem to have talked yourself out of all of them...

Kittykatmacbill · 07/09/2018 22:29

Annie isn’t boring! It’s lovely, I am biased, I have one!

Willow and William are too similar and violet to far to close to violent!

I also love willow, but as others have said, not really with
Billy or william.

What about Autumn ?

I loved violet for my daughter but thought it too close to 'violent' 😏
