Willow and Ginny or Willow and Lily??

[LVThompson]

We are expecting a baby girl and we decided on either Lily or Ginevra (nn Ginny). We also have another girl, Willow and we aren't sure which one would go better with her name. I love the name Ginevra but i'm quite afraid though that little Ginny might get teased because of the HP association, though my husband is really set on it (he's American and we're both living in the US at the moment) and says that most people won't get the HP association. We also love Lily though, but don't want their names to sound too flowery...
Any thoughts??

I personally think the il sound in Willow and Lily is a bit too similar. Of the two I prefer Ginevra, and think I’m in the minority in really liking Ginny. I don’t think the HP thing is quite as big of a deal as say Hermione, although I’d definitely expect it to be mentioned. Do you have anything else on your list @LVThompson ?

Love Ginevra, I'd have used it perhaps. No daughters though.

Lily was the name of HP's mother wasn't it?

I think Willow and Ginny. Lily is too similar-sounding

Ginevra nn Ginny Is totally fine and rather beautiful. HP isn’t going to be a huge thing for her generation and if it is, who cares. I knew a Genista nn Ginny if it’s any use, but I think Ginevra is a lot nicer.

Willow and Lilly is Too Much IMO.

I wonder though in 10 years will Ginny be associated with HP? The last movie came out nearly 10 years ago. I think Ginny is a lovely name and there won't be others in her class etc.
Although I do like the plant theme with Willow and Lily.

Ginevra is lovely

I love Ginny but hate full name Ginevra. Juniper? Willow and Juniper? I think Willow and Ginny sounds nice though. And Willow and Lily. Not much help really.

What is an HP name? I adore the name Ginevra - first saw it in "Appointment with Death". Lily is also beautiful. Willow is a good name for a horse.

Would love to know your children’s names!🤔

Lily is too similar.

Ginevra/Ginny is beautiful. I haven’t read Harry Potter so no connection there for me.

Lily doesn’t go with Willow. As pp have said, the sounds are too similar and tongue twisty.

Ginny by a million miles 😊

Rose would fit well.

Fern fleur would

Peony

Gina would give you Ginny also

Willow and Rowan.

Juno

Ginny!

Jinny can be short for Jennifer.
