Is Ivy Jasmine too "planty"?

[frip]

Thanks!

I think so.

Well they are both plants.

It wouldnt bother me tbh. Lots of people have 'themes' going on with names. Middle names are rarely used anyway, so she will be known mainly as Ivy.

Yes.

Ivy Jessamine would make it less obvious, perhaps?

No lovely - we have a willow lily and never felt it was too 'nature'!

I think so, but I'm a gardener. Especially as they're both climbers.

Yes. They also sound like names of candles and air fresheners. Sorry

It is a bit however if you need to drop one drop the Ivy , Jasmine is lovely .

Is Jasmine just a middle name? If so I think it's fine. If your plans on calling her Ivy-Jasmine I think it's a bit too much.

*you plan - no idea how that slipped in!

Is Plant your surname?
How are people going to hear her middle name?

I don't think so, for some reason I don't often think of Jasmine as a plant (I know it is though, but my first thought is of a name)

Yes. Jasmine is pretty. Ivy is awful. It's an Edward Ian servant's name.

No, but I’d put Jasmine first - much pretty plant and name. Ivy’s a bit grim.

Too "planty" IMO and (and this might sound even odder) they're not plants that go together, both being climbers but suited to different conditions, so I find the name clashes too.

I think it's fine, tbh. They are both commonly used names, not just random plants.

Very planty imo. I wouldn't do it, or I'd put another name in between.

Very planty

Definitely too planty. But you could make it less planty by telling everyone that the Jasmine bit was because you like Chinese tea.

Yeah. Jasmine is nicer than Ivy!
