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

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

what do people think

[Anna8888]

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

[foxytocin]

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.

[Merrylegs]

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

[Minniethemoocher]

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

[zookeeper]

please don't

[Merrylegs]

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

[devonsmummy]

Like Bracken - not overly keen on Willow.

wouldn't use them both together though

[Marne]

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

Bracken would be my choice rather than willow.

[CharleeInChains]

My mum used to have a horse called Bracken Willow.

[kerryk]

i just about wet myself at bocos post

[seeker]

Merrylegs - are you named after a Malory Towers pony?

[Gobbledigook]

I think it's awful
Well, you did ask

[conkertree]

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.

[piratecat]

lmao @ screamscreamstagger reading it as Broken Pillow.

I like Fern.

come back wher ever you are.

[piratecat]

Hazel is a nice name.??

[conkertree]

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.

[blackhawk]

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

[Liffey]

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.

[Liffey]

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

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

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

[pagwatch]

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"

[tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin]

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

[RubyShivers]

well, if you like it, use it
