Don't like Delilah at all. Ivy and Willow are both lovely.

I like them all - great choices. Willow reminds me of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (in a good way) and Hey There Delilah is a fabulous song to have as your theme tune.

Massive soft spot for Willow.
Ivy is timeless and classy.

I like Delilah best.

All three are beautiful. I would say Ivy and Willow are more commonly used as they are quickly gaining popularity. They don’t have many nickname options. Delilah is less popular, it is likely to be shortened to Lilah but if you like this that’s fine

I’m a nursery teacher in a primary school and in the last few years have met multiple Ivy and Willows but only one Delilah in 10 years.

  1. Ivy, lovely name
  2. Willow, it does remind me of Willow Smith who I find REALLY annoying and attention seeking which ruins the name 100% for me
  3. Delilah - I really don't like this name.

Ivy is the best of the 3.

DoctorBambino · 03/04/2020 07:26

I like Willow. Not a fan of the other two.

Have we helped narrow it down @mamablondie I really LOVE all 3 names so can’t really help. Don’t know anyone called Willow or Ivy. A friend of a friend has a little Delilah. 3 great choices

MikeUniformMike · 03/04/2020 10:51

Of the three, Willow. I don't like Ivy at all and Delilah is awful.

MikeUniformMike · 03/04/2020 10:53

OP, listen to the Tom Jones song Delilah.

PlantPotting · 03/04/2020 11:01

I’ve never once listened to Tom Jones! Apart from Sex Bomb haha

Flymetothestars · 03/04/2020 11:13

REALLY Love all 3. Let us know what you pick @mamablondie

Willowmartha1 · 03/04/2020 11:17

Willow but then I'm biased !!

mamablondie · 03/04/2020 13:38

@Flymetothestars @PlantPotting I’m leaning towards Willow. I like Delilah (love the Plain White Tees song) but struggle to get past the bible connotations and people have mentioned that here - so this has been helpful!

Ivy I’m just not sure if it’s ‘strong’ enough.

DD1 is Ruby, I feel like Willow fits best especially having read these comments x
