Help[Opinions] Re: Alternatives to Willow/name suggestions request
in reply to a message by fishl_x
Firstly, if you like willow and no one else in your family has used it yet, surely you can still use it unless its like your bff who used it.
Willow- I've only known one and she was a little angel.
Fern- not a fan, I used to think it was cute but then I saw it used irl and immediately hated it. I prefer Lotus which i did meet irl once too and it felt much better.
Pearl- its alright, makes a cute middle name I think.
Juniper- people give it a lot of hate but I like it, mainly I think I absolutely adore Junie as a nickname.
Wren- hate it, sound and looks ugly. Even Sparrow is better.
Marigold- I personally wouldn't pick it but I think its definitely usable and Mary is a sweet nickname if she thinks its too much, as long as Goldie doesn't catch on youre fine.
Poppy- not bad, very british
Prairie- makes me think of feral Chihuahuas and dust
Myrtle- I only think of a plank of wood and harry potter
Maple- alright I prefer Myrtle but not by much. Mabel is better than both imo.
Sylvie- very common/on the rise right now. One of my teachers just had a girl named this. I don't hate it but Sylvester is so much cooler in general Also Silvestra / Sylvestra
Kara- very good name imo, holds up in many languages, ages well and sounds solid, easy to pronounce and read.
Annika- My absolute favourite off all your options, looks lovely, easily recognisable as a name, has many cute nickname options (Annie, Anka, Nikki, Inka)
Maeve- I like it, short and sweet same name as Violet to me.
Opal- gross sound and look
Thalia- Spell it Talia and avoid all confusion. Love it tho, cool sound and easy to say.
Daphne- duck
Lucienne- Lucia I prefer (love actually)
Matilda- Really great name, solid but cool enough to not be boring and also sweet with a bunch of great nn that you can shape depending on the kids personality, Tilda, Tilly, Mat, Mattie, Lily, Tilla.
Winifred- old n gross
Golda- hate it, sounds like old and has feels too big in my mouth when i say it
Zelda - could be usable even with video game association its still a nice name
Pommeline (nicknamed Pommie)- Maybe Mariposa could be nicer if you want you could use Pommie for that (also kinda similar to
Poppy, Marigold and a bunch of your other names.
