Middle name for Willow

30 replies

gossipgirl28 · 20/06/2019 13:19

Hi,

I had my little girl a few days ago who we have named Willow.

Just looking for some middle name ideas for her.

My middle name is may. I'm not sure whether to give her a traditional name like Isobel or use my middle name or just go for something different. I love floral names but not sure if Willow Ivy for example is too much.

Any suggestions? Thanks xoxo

How about Willow Fleur or Willow Raye?
Lovely name anyway. Congratulations x

I really love Willow I’d use Willow Rose or Willow Grace

I think Willow May is lovely, you could be floral and traditional with
Willow Violet
Willow Rose
Willow Daisy
Willow Iris.

Belle
Rae
Luna
Faye
Lucy

Willow May is very classy. But as it’s a middle name and they are hardly ever used I would be tempted to go a bit more out there...
I look after a little girl who has the mn Sparkle

Sophronia · 20/06/2019 16:09

I’d go with a traditional mn. Willow Isobel is nice.

May, Rose, and Grace are extremely popular middle names at the moment so I'd probably avoid them. Although, if you used May of course it would be after you which could be nice.

I wouldn't use another nature name alongside Willow, I think it cheapens what is a lovely first name. So that rules out Ivy and flower names.

Are there other family names you could use? Or what about June - a nice name, a nod to your middle name and also she was born in June.

Twillow · 20/06/2019 19:26

I agree, too many nature names together might be odd.
May is nice.

Loveislandaddict · 20/06/2019 19:26

Rose was my immediate thought.

Other suggestions:
Tansy
Jemima
Pearl
Merle

PreseaCombatir · 20/06/2019 19:30

Larke

Raeven · 20/06/2019 19:34

My first thought was Eve

gossipgirl28 · 20/06/2019 20:52

Thank you for all the suggestions xx

What about Willow Elouise? I can’t work out if it’s a mouthful or not but I really like it!

Also like the pp’s suggestion of Willow June and I like Willow Kate.

What does your surname begin with as that might rule some names out?

JumboJunior · 20/06/2019 20:55

Willow Rayne

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/06/2019 21:00

Willow Evelyn
Willow Abigail
Willow René
Willow Rosabelle

youarenotkiddingme · 20/06/2019 21:02

Willow Rose and Willow Ray came to mind before I read your OP.

Willow is a beautiful name.

You could also use Willow June if she was born in June!

Starlive23 · 20/06/2019 21:02

Harper?

CremeEggThief · 20/06/2019 21:03

I second a previous poster's suggestion of Willow Eliza. Or how about Willow Marie or Willow Rosa?

WhereForArtThouBray · 20/06/2019 21:04

I like Willow Jade, or Willow Jane.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 20/06/2019 21:27

Like the previous suggestions of:

Willow May
Willow Amberley
Willow Rae
Willow Jane
