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

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' 😏
