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

Flora Ivy

Florence Ivy

...think I'll stop now!

Josephine Ivy

I like thritbies Ivy Rose, you can still call her Rose, my uncle is always known by his middle name

Hi there Ladies! I am new to this site and that is because i typed in the name of my 18 month old daughter Ivy-Rose and it brought me here! My Grandmother was also Ivy Rose but without the hyphen. We always call her by her full name but find that others don't which can be annoying, so bear that in mind if you considering a double barelled name...well done for choosing Ivy x

Amilia Ivy

Hatrick - LOL at Jitty - could catch on

Rosalind Ivy
Love Florence Ivy
Love Alessandra, but not sure it goes with Ivy (but that wouldn't put me off!)
Mabel Ivy
Matilda Ivy

Ganja Ivy?

Surely your DD's first name is the most important thing here? That's what she is going to be called for the rest of her life. You rarely use both names together, and when you do you usually have the surname as well. So try out with your surname too. If it still really doesn't flow too well, perhaps add a second middle name e.g. "Rose Alessandra Ivy"

Some lovely ideas - thanks

and you're right, ladette, the first name does matter most - just hard to stop obsessing once you get sucked into this whole names malarkey...

I agree that Ivy seems to work best as a first name - but dh won't let me put it there (damn him!)

i should have said that we live in the Middle East and names here follow a very rigid pattern - all children (whether boy or girl) have their first name then the father's name, then the grandfather's name, then the surname

and dh's name is ..... Albert

sigh - hence my osession over getting a lovely combo for the first two names

there is actualy a law against having two first names due to lots of inheritance probles in the past but if you write them both together in Arabic you can normaly get away with it

I love Ivy Rose nd Ivy Grace - very pretty - but I can't have it this way round.

Just wanted to say that i really like the name Ivy. I wanted to use that as a first name if we have a girl but dp is not so keen
