Kind and diplomatic opinions please 😊

Hello there,

thanks what do you prefer out of:

Willow. (Too earthy?).
Skye. (Too many associations?)
Ava. (Too popular?)

I'm due soon, and love all of these names and some are more now than others and some have different perceptions but personally feel that for me and in my opinion they all could feasibly work.

id like to ask the lovely Mumsnetters as input is valuable!

my surname begins with a C and has two syllables.

thank you for your time in advance

thanks!

They are lovely names, willow is great and I like Skye unless you last name is Cable

I like Willow, only I'd hate a nickname like Willy and kids can be mean.

While Ava is popular names are more diverse and so it's still possible to be the only Ava in her class.

Skye is nice but I just know a few dogs and so it has a pet name associated in my mind but it'd still work if that's what you like.

Thank you Everyone, how lovely for such helpful responses from fellow Mumsnetters yay!

the WC initials did make me chuckle 😅

hard life eh choosing a name, But the best 😘

I like Skye the best. Lovely associations with the island.

Willow is okay but might date badly as it's gone from being a bit offbeat to being completely mainstream in quite a short window of time.

Ava is also okay. I find it a bit blowsy though.

Willow is lovely

Ava
willow
skye

all are nice

Willow, nice but lots of pets have this name.
Skye, here in Scotland there are lots.
Ava, beautiful name, also Ada is lovely.

I love Willow and Skye. Ava is fine but a bit bland.

I do worry about Willows who aren't willowy though - I imagine it would be hard to be a chubby 14 year old Willlow.

No help in choosing because I love all of them

I like Summer aswell

Willow is my favourite. I do like Skye too. Ava is overused IMO.

Willow is my favourite.

I love Willow.

They're all lovely though.

Congratulations! My favourite is Ava, but I think Willow is beautiful too.

Oh that's so disappointing Ava is so popular - it's a name I love! Considered it for my daughter (now 17).

Ava is a beautiful name and popular for a reason. Congratulations!

Hmm that’s a tricky one, they are all nice

Ava is probably my favourite name but also most popular. I’d say ignore the popularity of names though and go for the one you won’t get sick of

Willow reminds me of that movie character.
Skye makes me think of a dog.
Ava is lovely (although I do slightly prefer Eva/Eve)

I think all the names you are suggested are lovely!

I really like Skye! It sound angelic and happy😊

Would you put either of the names together like, Skye-Ava or Willow-Skye?

You will know the perfect name when you see your baby girl!

Congratulations xx

Sky - no
Willow- I like it and had a cat with that name!
Ava - yes, I like it

Love Skye.

Ava is best. A bit bland but fine. I don’t know any. I quite like it.
Skye is ok-ish.
Willow is a bit cringey.

I know a dog I'm not fond of called Willow, so that rules that one out.
I like Skye best.
Ava she will definitely find pencils & bags with her name on it.

All very pretty, all very popular at my school- especially Ava.

Willow is my favourite sky and Ava are both very popular where I live! Congratulations on your baby
