[Opinions] Re: Ivy
in reply to a message by booksandtea
I used to dislike the name Ivy because it has the Poison Ivy connection too but then I key the cutesest little girl named Ivy Dawn and the image of Ivy in my mind totally changed. It's fairly sweet but withought a lot of fuss, pretty but not over-the-top feminine and would work well from childhood to adulthood.
Rose is very sweet too and between the two I do prefer Rose because I'd consider using it for a daughter. Ivy would be easier to make combos with I think and it is less popular than Rose.
Ivy Isabelle is okay but the double I names is a bit much. Ivy Madeleine is quite lovely! Ivy Cecilia is okay but doesn't flow well.
My suggestion is stick with middle names that don't start with vowels because Ivy starts and ends with long vowel sounds.
What about:
Ivy Florence
Ivy Giselle / Gisele
Ivy Beatrice
Ivy Jeanette
Ivy Charlotte
Ivy Caroline
Ivy Marguerite
Ivy Louisa
Ivy Danielle / Daniella
Ivy Seraphina
Ivy Helena
Ivy Catherine
Ivy Rochelle
Ivy Juliet / Juliette
Ivy Jessamine

Thank you for the advice about vowels... I hadn't quite thought of it in that way.
