i am 28 weeks pregnant have gone for the name bracken willow for our little girl

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

what do people think

I don't like Bracken as a first name at all. Neither the word nor the plant are attractive.

Bracken is another word ferns. it also describes the taste of swamp water. (salty and fresh water taste mixed together) so, i would vote a 'no' for it.

Look on the bright side. You've got 12 weeks to think of something else.

It's a lovely name - for a pony. Sorry!

please don't

My name is lovely name for a pony too. In fact, think you should call her Merrylegs

Like Bracken - not overly keen on Willow.

wouldn't use them both together though

I like both the names but would'nt use them both together (too woody).

Bracken would be my choice rather than willow.

My mum used to have a horse called Bracken Willow.

i just about wet myself at bocos post

Merrylegs - are you named after a Malory Towers pony?

I think it's awful
Well, you did ask

i like it tink - i can see what some people mean about the combination of two earthy names, but then i like earthy names.

to be honest, i do know a puppy called Bracken - but that only came to mind when i read other people's posts - not when i first read the name you have picked.

If you love it - go for it.

lmao @ screamscreamstagger reading it as Broken Pillow.

I like Fern.

come back wher ever you are.

Hazel is a nice name.??

the other thing about the two names together is that people very rarely talk about their second name - it would be bracken surname, and only bracken willow surname occasionally.

I too had a pony called Bracken. It seems to be a very popular name for four legged animals.

Bracken? That's dirty stream water isn't it??

It's horrible. Willow is prettier, but it's more popular than the parents think it is.

Still prefer Willow Bracken though.

Oh love the suggestion of Hazel. Probably more unusual than Willow, and has the nature connection.

Brackish - is what you mean, part sea water,part river

TBH I don't think so.
It does sound a bit like a treatable condition.
" I took the dog to the vets. he said he had a touch of bracken willow but gave me some ointment and the swelling should go down soon"

well i luv it our daughter has an unusual name 2 would go gr8 with her name

well, if you like it, use it
