Willa

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Willa? Do you know any?

I'm not sure about the name.

Now interestingly as a child I had quite a bad stutter which I grew out of, gaining confidence helped. There were a few letters and words I couldn't pronounce, I just tried to say Willa out loud and couldn't!

I've not been unable to pronounce a word in nearly 30 years! But Willa has got me

I know a teenage one too, AuntieStella. Wonder if it’s the same one.

I’m not keen on it either to be honest. I much prefer Willow.

I really like Willa. It has an edgy, cool vibe that Willow doesn’t. It’s going on my imaginary child’s name list

My friend's dog is called Willa. I thought it was a really pretty name for a golden retriever. I've not watched GOT so don't know it from there.

Willow would be a safer bet. Willa will be a nightmare at school.

Ugh, I detest the name Willow - too wet and middle-class hippyish...but I think Willa is gorgeous and fresh.

Willa Muir. Scottish writer. Lovely.

There's a Stephen King short story called Willa, she's a great character. I like it.

Willa is lovely as a pp said its edgy and cool but also sophisticated and unusual.

Love it!

I met my first Willa a couple of weeks ago. She was introduced round a table at a party, and no one mis heard her name, or needed to check it.
Quite nice and it suited her.

Seen this name quite a few times on the Birth Announcements in the Telegraph! (For any geeks like me that read them...)

I love it. It was on our list if our DS was a girl.

Makes me think of Willa Cather who wrote the most beautiful book - My Antonia

Whenever I hear the name Willa I always think of Willa Jean in Ramona the Pest.

It sounds like someone saying Willy in a Lancashire accent. Please don't call your child this.

Willy!

It’s very awful.

I love it and have loved it for many years but ruled it out for my dd as there were too many Willows around and I feared she would forever be correcting people.

I think it falls in the trap of being too similar to Willow and Will and therefore becomes unusable. Just like Evie, Eva and Ava and Milly, Milla, Mila etc

Love it! Gorgeous name.
