Trying to think of baby names for second baby! We don't know the sex yet but already have a daughter called Summer. I absolutely love 'Willow' for a girl but just remembered that our family members dog is called willow and I'm gutted! Wondering if anyone can offer an alternative on the same vibe as Summer and Willow. I quite like Meadow but not sure if it's quite right. Also any boys names that would go with Summer as I can't think of one I like yet!
TIA xx

Call her Willow regardless of the dog. (We didn't use a name as it was PIL's dog, but we might have had we loved it).
Boy's name could be Rowan or River.

Maybe something with a nature feel to it:

Wren
Rowan (could use for either, but I LOVE it for a girl)
Jasmine
Eden (again could work for either sex)

Willow is such a lovely name, some other you might like are….

Wren, Ivy, Skye, Willa, Seren, Tandie, Alannah or Faye

For a boy how about…

Jasper, Felix, Ralph, Flynn, Wesley, Jesse or Nathaniel

Is it an option to give the name anyway? It’s not inherently a dog’s name, it’s just a name dog happens to have.

Sylvie/Sylva (Latin for tree)
Laurel
Solstice (OK that one's a bit silly)

I know a little girl called Winter (but it might be to predictable).

How about Sorrel, Ivy, Lillie or Marguerite if you want to stay with nature.

RandomMess · 22/06/2025 21:07

Yarrow

LittleCosette · 22/06/2025 21:08

We would pick Meadow if we are blessed with another. Gorgeous name but I’m assuming everyone will say “as in Soprano”

LittlleMy · 22/06/2025 21:11

Raine or India for a girl and Asa or Silas for a boy.
