Help[Opinions] Ivy (m)
A friend had her baby girl a couple of days ago and named her Ivy. I always liked the name but was not prepared for how happy it would make me to see it used in real life!
The mother's name is Holly. I have to say it took me a while for the 'Holly and Ivy' connection to click in my head, but when it did I thought it was neat.

I love the name Ivy and I love the name Holly too. I think it's cute that the names are linked.

Thank goodness! When I saw Ivy (m) I feared that a boy had been named Ivy!
I've got a Holly niece, OK stepniece, who is pleasant but somehow not quite comfortable in her own skin. Can't put my finger on it. Generally speaking I'm not keen on -olly names, except Polly which I like a lot. Dolly, however, Holly, Molly and Ollie just don't do it for me. But Holly is a wonderful plant!
Ivy, though, is a pain of a plant. Gloomy, invasive and unforgivably difficult to get rid of.
Together they make a fine carol, though.

I don't mind the name. Years back, I first came across this name on a little girl who's now in highschool. At first, I thought the name was very, very strange.
However, it is not a name I'd ever use if I was expecting because it reminds me of:
Poison Ivy
IV (Medical apparatus)
HIV (I'm very sorry that my brain happened to make this connection. Me apologizes.
Other that all that, Ivy is a pretty nice name. I LOVE the name Holly

The Holly and Ivy thing....initially I thought it made me a little sad at the lameness. But also it's a bit sweet. Bad idea for sisters, but I guess it's a bit endearing for mother-daughter.
I do think Ivy is a great great name.

Love the Ivy and Holly connection!
I considered that a while ago to honor my sister Holly, but completely forgot about it.
It would make me happy to meet an Ivy too. It's so simple and sweet.

I love the name Ivy! There was a girl named Ivy in a Christmas book we had when I was little, and it struck me as being both pretty and awesomely hardcore. I wanted to name my future daughter Ivyanna, which I still think is a good combination...
