Would it put you off....

If you loved a name BUT you knew someone who had a puppy the same name?

I have been in love with the name Ivy for a wee girl for yearrrrs

Due in 11 weeks and ivy has always been the front runner.

One of my friends has recently got a puppy and sods law named her ivy.

Would it out you off naming your baby if someone had a dog named it too?

No. Ivy is primarily a human name. You may lose touch with your friend. If you love it, use it. (It's a great choice.)

I wouldn't let that put you off. It's a lovely name and not like they will go to school together or anything

No way and Ivy is a beautiful name

No it wouldn’t put me off if I liked the name.

It wouldn’t put me of

No it wouldn’t put me off, but as with a friend having a baby, when the name was announced I’d have said ‘Oh that’s the name we have chosen too, it looks like there’ll be two of them!’

We considered our own cats name for DC1.

Cat has a human name, we tossed it about a bit (I may have even posted on here??)

In the end we had a DS (cat is a girl)..... found other names we preferred bybthe time we had our DD's

Use the name!!

Ivy is lovely - I'd use it.

I know someone who’s DM had had a dog called Ivy for years and she still called her little girl Ivy.

My friend is named Jess and her dad got a sheepdog and named it... you guessed it... Jess.

Ivy is a lovely name!

No I love Ivy! My friend has dogs called Ivy and Monty and I actually really like them both :)

No, it wouldn't put me off.

No, both my dc have names that have also been given to animals, it just shows the owners have as much good taste as I do

@incrediblysad2 I did say that haha I was like ahh that's a name we've thought about for baby lol and she just kind of laughed it off thinking I was joking lol

I'm glad it wouldn't put you all off. It hasn't put me off much but was just thinking if it would be weird... Probably over thinking.

Im also team yellow so this could turn out to be totally irrelevant hahaha

You could always go for Ivyn

🤣

I have always loved the name Ivy. My husband not so much. He refused to let me call our daughters Ivy, so guess who is called Ivy? To be fair.... I did want to call the girls by that name first!!!!

Iveeeeeeeee Winteeeeeeers!
Everyone needs a bit of drag in their life!
Ivy is a lovely name

Go for it, or you’ll look back and wish you had.

Alternatives just in case..

Evie

Just do it - and have a laugh with your friend about how they share your favourite name.

Yep it’s fine. I didn’t think I would ever have children so gave my dog my favourite ever name.
So when I was expecting DD I really wanted to use it for her as well. I didn’t in the end, as I did find another beautiful name, but I very almost did.
I now have a dog with a ‘timeless classic ‘ human name. And 2 x DD with more pet like names 😁

Love the name Ivy. One of my son's has the same name as my dad's dog dog was named long before my son.

Oh yes, use it. Ivy is lovely. The dog won’t be around forever.

Well I’m a bit biased as I have a DD Ivy but...its a great name and I get nothing but compliments on it! i really can’t imagine it on a puppy, either way if you love it then you should go for it!! x

Ivy is a lovely name. If people opt for human names for their pets it's bound to happen sometimes. I reckon all dogs should be called Rover

@greeborising i loved ivvvvvvvvvvvvvyyyyyy winterrrrrs hahahaha
