I like it. Simple, fresh and a bit quirky.

GinIsIn · 05/12/2018 09:12

I love it

I like it, but around me it's the most common dog's name. I know 4 dogs called Willow and one baby.

I know three baby Willows, so whilst it should be quirky and different I don't think it is anymore. I like the name, but I don't like the shortenings - one of the ones I know gets called Wills by her siblings.

That does concern me a little, I liked the name a few years ago but it seems to have rapidly grown in popularity!

Willow is pretty

It's become super popular this year! I loved it for DD (born summer 2017) but DP vitoed it - glad he did as my neighbour, cousin and friend all have daughter's called Willow!

Might not be in your area though so go for it if you love it. The name we went for is extremely popular in the south east, but very rare around us and everybody comments on how nice it is and how rare to 'see one of those these days' Grin

I'm not a fan, personally - it's a bit 'wet' sounding.

I have a teen Willow .. when I named here there were none . Now it is very popular and dare I say common .. I got a few raised eyebrows but it suits her as she is tall and slim and kind of willowy ..I still love it as much as I did when we named her though 😍😍

Flamingosnbears · 05/12/2018 10:18

It's alright I actually love Willa

WillowintheUK · 05/12/2018 10:20

Lovely name. 😊

Shadow1234 · 05/12/2018 10:24

I really love it - and the reason its become popular is because it is such a lovely name.

AhoyDelBoy · 05/12/2018 13:01

Pretty but so overused.

ernjas · 05/12/2018 13:15

It's okay but getting so overused now!

Sophronia · 05/12/2018 13:17

It’s ok, I prefer it as a middle name though.

Yidette86 · 08/12/2018 05:26

Very common now which would put me right off
