Willa

[dancingunicorns123]

I absolutely love the name Willa. DH likes it to, however mentioned it to my mum and she laughed. is it that bad? My DS is Arthur.

It's not a strong name. It's whispy and a blah sound.

Not sure where all these people are getting 'wet' and not pretty from.

I think it's such a strong pretty name I love it

@ilovechocolatebiscuits completely agree. It’s just perfect!

It’s subjective. A lot of posters think it’s weak but then those who love it think it’s wonderful. Such is life.

Willa is very pretty! Go for it :)

I adore this name and would love it for dd my DH says no! Go for Willa I say, it is such a lovely and different name

How about 'Willard'.

If you've got a London accent it could sound like Willow. But also there'll be lots of calling her Willy at school and sniggering, that's just what kids are like. So it's a no from me, sorry.

Awful name.

Much prefer Willow personally. I always think of Wilma when I hear Willa. I don't like either.

@Cinammoncake I don't think that's the case. My husband is Will and he's never been called willy in his life

But Willa sounds more like Willy than Will does imo

My NDN is called Willa.

Short for Wilhelmina.

She's very nice, but I don't like either name.

@Cinammoncake

William literally has “willy” as part of the name!

Willa does not.

I adore the name Willa. 🤩

I've never heard of it and agree It might become a teasing point at school.

Hasn’t become a teasing point for the Willa I know

One of the main female characters in new Tv show Succession is called Willa (she’s stunning and makes me love the name even more)

90% of names have teasing potential. If kids are going to be mean they are going to be mean-whatever you call them.

Agree @Cbeebiesrehab you really can’t predict the names that are going to get picked on. A friend of mine was called wendy and constantly got called Wendy house and called fat and “size of a house”. Another friend with surname Pratt was left alone! You’d just never predict.

Exactly @Leopardprintboots you can’t let rubbish kids jokes put you off a perfectly lovely name.

It is a lovely name and goes well with Arthur

I love the name Willa - much nicer than Willow 💕
