Willow - thoughts?

[BabyCJuly]

Hi all,

Thoughts on Willow please?

We’ve been set on this throughout... but now I need some reassurance and honest thoughts!

Thanks so much!

Buffy fan? I do know a Willow actually, not keen though.

Makes me think of Willow in Buffy, which I guess is when it began to get popular. I like it and would have certainly considered it if I had a girl - had boys. I would still use it as a dog name, which is no insult to it as all my dogs have 'people' names, mostly the ones I didn't get to use on children!

I nearly chose Willow for my Dd9, but when she was born she just didn't quite suit it so we used it for her middle name. Go for it, I don't actually know any Willows although people say it is more common than it used to be.

My daughter is called Willow she always gets complimented on her name!!

There seem to be so many threads on here about this name lately. I feel like it might be about to get super popular which would lose its appeal to me personally (but might not bother you). It’s nice.

Awful sorry. Really don’t see the appeal. Also the risk she will be larger - there was a Willow at my school who was large and it seemed cruel. I feel the same about the name Grace - I know 3 and they are all very sturdy and not at all graceful

I’m not keen, though, as it’s being used more and more, it’s become more normal a name now. It’s really just a cat name to me, or someone from Buffy, and I can’t shake that.

I don't like it.

Incredibly popular where I live, puts me off slightly x

Love it! A friend has a little girl called Willow. Everyone says it being popular but she's the only one I know in real life, or have ever met in my 32 years! Haha.

Really like it x

Showing my age... Makes me think of the Warwick Davies film... Its a no from me but if you love it, go with it

Love it, and I don't know any.

My daughter is a Willow, see lots of threads starting exactly what this does that it's very popular/common, what if she larger and not "willowy" etc. My Daughter is nearly 12 and the only other willow I've ever met was 24. Heard of lots of dogs/cats though. My daughter is tiny but certainly not tall or willowy. I love it and chose it because of the tree - it's bends but doesn't break which seems like a pretty good quality. I thinks it quite ethereal too.

I think it's beautiful and I don't mind that people think she's named after a Buffy character. She very cool and pretty awesome!

My daughter is called Darcy Willow and i love it

Love Willow. It’s pretty.

I like it.

I love it

Absolutely love Willow. One of my very favourite names.

Also like the name Willa too.

I'm not a huge fan, I think it will date badly. But it's not awful.

I love the name Willow. We have friends who named their daughter after the film Willow - Elora - was the baby in the film. Love both names.

Beautiful name.
