Willa

[Sugarplummy84]

What are people’s thoughts? Is it classic?

Yes, it’s lovely

ITS SO GORGEOUS!!! I adore it. I’ve only recently discovered it because I met a little girl with this name and I have been OBSESSED ever since 🤣

There is a female character called Willa in the TV show “Succession”- she only has a small part though. I can’t believe the name isn’t more popular. The little Willa I know is a gorgeous little girl, very popular and never gets teased about her name

Gorgeous name xxx

I just need a daughter now 🤣 are you pregnant with a little girl @Sugarplummy84 ? So jealous you get to use “Willa”

Can I ask where you heard of it?

Thank you.
Yes I am expecting a little girl. I have met a couple of Willa’s and really like it but can’t find out much info about the name!

Do be aware of Willa the Witch.

Willy. Sorry

Love it!!

No one says “Willy” about William when that literally has the sound “Willy” within the name!!

Willa you’d have to change the sound to make it into Willy. William you wouldn’t. Yet William is regarded as one of the most sensible names out there!

Can you tell I adore this name 🤣 @Sstorm

Lets agree to disagree 🤣

@Sstorm 👍😆 good idea!

I hear it in a strong Liverpool accent as a nickname for William. I don't think it's great.

I don't know - I really like the idea of it but in practice I think it sounds so much like Willow that it will be misheard a lot. It also looks better written down than said out loud somehow!

I don't like Willa. Willow is better but I don't love that either.

Always makes me think of Willa Jean from the Ramona books 😃

Terrible sorry.

No, it's not classic.

I don't like it at all.

I think it doesn’t know whether to be strong or pretty and ends up being neither.

If classic means a name that's been pretty continuously used through the centuries then no, it's not. eg Elizabeth, Catherine, Margaret, Sarah, Ann/Anna are classics.
That said, I do really like Willa. Seems neat, interesting and stylish to me.

Haha I saw the title and came on to say @MissHenty will be along to proclaim their love for this name 😂😂😂

No! It’s terrible. So weak and watery and will badly date.

Horrible

I like it a lot.

I’m not sure if it’s classic though. When did it start being used? Perhaps it is, I just haven’t heard of any historical Willas.

@Cookit there's Willa Cather, an American author.

Love it!
