Yes lovely. Inoffensive, not dull.

This!

I worry that it would be tricky to be an overweight Willow, but that’s perhaps less of an issue for an MN.

I think its lovely. ❤️

PerilTheBeryl · 01/09/2023 12:58

Ciara is a better spelling or even Kiera at a push.

SophieHope7 · 01/09/2023 12:58

Lovely names and go well together. I love it when people also call their kid affectionately using both given names

Hopingforbetterluck · 01/09/2023 12:59

Classic but still a bit different. It’s lovely.

It only really matters what you and DH think. It’s hard enough to find one you both agree on so don’t let anyone put you off ❤️

PurpleChrayne · 01/09/2023 13:00

Nice!

MadeForThis · 01/09/2023 13:00

Prefer the Ciara spelling.

cherryassam · 01/09/2023 13:04

It has a lovely flow to it - the traditional Irish spelling is Ciara I think, but people are used to the Keira spelling due to Knightley I think. Go with the spelling you like best

In 2021, Willow was the 10th most popular baby girl's name. It's also quite a popular name for dogs.

Prefer "Ciara" to "Keira".

Berlinlover · 01/09/2023 13:21

I’m Irish so prefer the spelling Ciara, it’s a beautiful name.

Riverlee · 01/09/2023 13:22

If you and DH love it, then that’s the name!

(very pretty)

BeaLola · 01/09/2023 13:23

I think it's lovely - personally prefer the C spelling but overall a lovely name

Mirabai · 01/09/2023 13:23

I think Ciara is much prettier and the Keira spelling a bit 90s and dated.
Ciara Willow is a lovely.

eandz13 · 01/09/2023 13:25

Lovely. I prefer the Keira spelling too.

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 01/09/2023 13:26

I like it but another vote for a Ciara rather than Keira - but I'm Irish so that has a strong influence on my preference.

ApolloandDaphne · 01/09/2023 13:41

I like Keira Willow.

When I see Ciara I instinctively want to pronounce it Key-ara.

BeCuriousNotJudgemental · 01/09/2023 13:42

Lovely!

Most people would know Keira Knightley though so more used to that spelling

Same! But I'm not Irish

KirstenBlest · 01/09/2023 15:04

Not keen on Keira. Ciara looks much prettier, but I prefer Cara.
Willow is OK

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/09/2023 15:06

Lovely!

KezzabellaB · 01/09/2023 15:30
