Ivy or Connie (Constance)

[newmomma]

I've heard all the 'poison Ivy' jokes and it doesn't put me off - she's my gorgeous 12 day old DD with masses of dark hair and there is NOTHING poisonous about her!!

But we can't decide between the two above...

Help!

Ivy for sure. I always think of a gorgeous dark haired child when I think of Ivy.

Ivy

Congrats on the birth of your gorgeous DD.

Have you thought about Tancy as a short form of Constance? I think it's really pretty, and quite unusual.

I think Ivy is very pretty

Congratulations on her arrival

Thanks All!

Too how do you pronounce Tancy?
tan-see?

I'm glad some other people think Ivy is pretty and not poisonous.

I love Constance, and Connie is a great shortening. Congrats by the way

yes, Tancy to rhyme with Nancy.

I like both but I think I prefer Ivy.

Congratulations!

Constance for me!

Constance much nicer

I really like both I never think of "poison ivy".

When you've chosen the first name are you thinking of using the other one as a middle name? Ivy Constance or Constance Ivy would both be lovely, but I think Ivy Constance "flows" just slightly better.

Ooh - I hadn't though of using BOTH of them - lido - you're a flippin' genius!!

I second Ivy Constance!

Ivy is a beautiful name. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy.

Ivy Constance thirded here
CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations. Constance for me, I've never been keen on the name Ivy it just reminds me of Ivy Tilsy

Much prefer Connie

Yeah me too Ineedsomesleep. And the way Don her husband (was it Don???) used to pronounce it I-veh! I-veh! Shudder.

I think Connie is lovely.

Connie. I like a lot of old lady names, but not Ivy.

Not keen on Constance though, but Connie is nice.

Constance

I prefer Constance/Connie. My Nan's name - she was a star

I love Constance, and it has a beautiful meaning.

Btw, if you decide on Ivy Constance, check it with the initials and your surname first!

I love Constance.
