Names to go with Ivy

[Mavornia]

If we have a daughter, I want to give her the middle name Ivy after my mum

I'd appreciate any ideas for first names

Dh loves Rose/Rosalie but I don't think Rose Ivy flows very well

I'm toying with Hope Ivy or Alessandra Ivy
but not sure if they really work either

[coby]

I would have thought a longer first name would flow better with a short middle name.

Could you have Rosalie Ivy which could be shortened to rose - after all you usually only have to use the middle name in a formal situation so rose ivy probably wouldn't be used together that much but rosalie ivy would.

Does that make sense?

I don't think Hope Ivy flows well but Alessandra Ivy does.

[UnquietDad]

Holly?

But maybe only when she is full grown.

[thritbies]

I know a girl called Ivy Rose, her parents call her Rosie. I do like Rosalie, fwiw

[thritbies]

Oh, and for UD

[Desiderata]

Don't give her a first name being with H.

She'll be H. Ivy ...

[Desiderata]

If the middle name begins with a vowel, the first name should end with a consonant (but not Y).

It's too much of a gob-full otherwise.

Scarlet?

[Mavornia]

Mmmm - Scarlet is nice, though the "scar" part always put me off slightly

I do like Rose and Rosalie, just not in love with them at the moment

I like classic names but was never keen on Elizabeth

thanks for comments

any other name suggestions very welcome

[Habbibu]

I agree with Desi - anything ending in a vowel would be tricky. But so many girls names do, it does present a problem.

I've got a Scarlett Ivy! Ivy was the name of both my grandmother and favourite aunt. They are both fab names, but clearly I am very biased!

[choosyfloosy]

Rachel
Maxine
Miriam

agree with previous poster, Elizabeth is beaut with Ivy

[3andnomore]

Why not use Ivy as a first name...it's sooo cute
And would be much easier to find a middlename for

[ilove8pm]

3andnomores idea sounds nice
Ivy as a first name
Ivy Hope
Ivy Alessandra

or something else traditional, maybe? I was thinking that Ivy Grace sounded very sweet. Or Ivy Ruth maybe?

[LittleBottle]

Melissa
Clara
Alice
Isobel (Two I's might be a bit much though)

[3andnomore]

I like Ivy Rose (as suggested earlier

or

Ivy Amelia
Ivy Christine
Ivy Louise
Ivy Olivia

[princessmel]

I like the name Ivy. I think Ivy Rose is nice.

Ivy is quite hard to fit with a name in front. Hmm

[foofi]

My grandma was called Gladys Ivy if that helps

[princessmel]

Susie Ivy
Charlotte Ivy
Difficult one.

[JoanCrawford]

Ivy is a lovely first name imo.

[janeite]

I agree with Hatrick - Constance Ivy would be lovely; unusual but in a good way.

I don't think Hope Ivy flows very well at all I'm afraid and I just don't like Alessandra as it sounds a bit of a mouthful.

Rosaline Ivy is nice, as apposed to Rose and you could always shorten her name to Rose, as middle names don't really get used except by family.

I quite like Isobel Ivy for some reason too.

Ivy seems to lend itelf better to names beginning with an L for the second name:

Ivy Louise for example

or maybe Katherine Ivy?
Rosamund Ivy

I think you need a fairly classic name to go with Ivy and certainly not one ending in an Y.
