[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

what do people think

[platypussy]

Bracken - dogs name - sorry.

[MrsMattie]

Bracken is awful. Really, really awful. Sorry.

[wotulookinat]

I once had a cat called Willow. Bracken is also a good name for a cat.
I shall blame your pregnancy hormones and hope you change your mind, for you kid's sake.
At one point, before we knew DS was going to be a boy, I wanted a girl called Karma, as it what goes around comes around. But my dad made me see sense when he pointed out the other obvious thing...

[ToThrottleABlackBird]

I actually think it is a lovely name.

[BabyBaby123]

Bracken is pretty awful imo - Willow slightly (just slightly.....) better

but please don't put them together!!!

[Peachy]

I like it. Mind if I used it people ehre wold just tut and say 'she uses slings you knoooow' as if I was written off as a hippy the day I did that [grinn]

Shocker- I even have lentils in my cupboard

[Horton]

Willow is lovely. I don't really like Bracken, although I love unusual names, because it sounds harsh to me.

I really like the name Bracken and if you can carry it off fair play to you !

I love different names i am not a traditional person and a lot of people dont like my dds names (although these days i think they are pretty normal, i get plant references to my dds name! {sigh}) but thats ok with me as what they think doesnt matter !!lol

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

bracken is not pretty. with willow as well it's too much. willow alone is pretty.

[Liffey]

Was that a text message tink?!

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

cheers for all comments other horrid plants lol

snap dragon
venus fly trap
spider plant

[ShosheTheGhoshe]

I love both names

Were both on my lists, (17 years ago tho)

My Family always thought I went for 'odd' names, they got used to them, and so did the rest of the world, cos, two of them became quite common.

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

precisely conker that it the sort of thing

[Cheesesarnie]

i love willow-ds2 was going to be ruby willow.now one of our cats is willow.
maybe have willow as first name bracken as middle?but if you like it and are just here to say the name rather than ask what others think-use it.its your dd!

congratulations btw!

[Blandmum]

Bizzy Lizzy?

[conkertree]

lol tink - it makes me think of crisp cool days out on a hillside - autumny and orange/red/brown colours. as i say, i like it.

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

ivy is a worse plant gets everywhere

[pagwatch]

Then if you love it - you must use it

[Blandmum]

I think it is faintly mad, and smacks of pregnancy brain, but she'll be your dd

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

yes, you use it if you like !

[RubyShivers]

well, if you like it, use it

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]
