We are really struggling with DD2s name. Plenty of time but last time with DD1 i already had her name picked out by now. We always liked Waverly but we had a few negative comments so OH now hates it. I wanted something uncommon and a bit of an old name. DD1 is Esmè and when we chose her name it wasn't very popular but now is. We like Willa but we are getting lots of negative comments on that name as well. Whats your opinion on Willa? I think what ever name we pick someones goimg to have something to say.

Could you have Willa as a middle name and then call it to her as a baby and if you continue to like it as a 4 year old enrol her at school with it?

But if not then change it to her more conventional alternative name, which is actually her 1st name

At school they will use her "chosen" name regardless which order they were on her birth certificate

So if you called her Helena Willa Smyth, she would be called at school Helena or Willa whichever you told them you wanted

Sorry, don't like Willa or Waverly. I do like Willow.
