[Opinions] Willow ...

I recently asked my best friend (who has known me for about 18 out of my 21 years), which name she could see me naming my daughter, out of Mira, Mirabelle & Willow.

Her response was Willow, and she seemed adament about it.

Willow has been on my list longer than any other name, although originally only as a middle name, and I've been loving it more and more lately.

So, WDYT? Willow Ruth?
Would be daughter to Kerri Ruth, granddaughter to Ruth Ann, and great-grandaughter to Annie Ruth (goes by Ruth).
And cousin to Everett & Ella.

So what is your impression of Willow? Do you think that it will age well? And what would you name Willow's brothers and sisters?

Im not sure about Willow. I seem to like it and I seem to not!

I think Mirabelle & Willow do suit each other.

Probably: Mirabelle, Willow, Dominic & Asher or Mirabelle, Willow, Dominic & Hugh

I think Willow more trendy than the rest of your names and wont age as well as Mirabelle or Dominic.

I love Willow. In fact, I was just thinking how cute Willow Ruby would be so yes, Willow Ruth would work just fine.

I think Willow would age well. It's quirky but not fluffy. I imagine someone who marches to the beat of her own drummer.

Willow is one of my absolute favorite names, yet surprisingly it's only come into my namedar recently. Willow Ruth is gorgeous, imho, and I think it'll age very well.
I'd name Willow's brothers and sisters anything nature or plant-y, like Linden, Lily or Calla, Rose, Dahlia, Rowan, even River.

Do you hear the people sing? Lost in the valley of the night. It is the music of the people who are climbing to the light! For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise...

I met a little girl about 8 years old named Willow Rose. She was very cute and sweet. The name was so unusual and striking that I will always remember her, and I love the name too.

I agree with Soul, exept that I really like Ruth! So Willow Ruth would make a great combo. As a sibset I would maybe chose Linnea or Sam. These were the first to come to my mind anyway.

Willow is lovely. It's very feminine, light and ethereal. I think it would age well - I can imagine a toddler, a child, a young girl, a grown woman, and even an old lady called Willow. Willow Ruth is a nice combo, though i personally don't like the name Ruth.

I love Willow, as a middle name. Willow Ruth is nice, Ruth Willow doesnt sould quite as nice.

As far as siblings,

Willow & Craig
Willow & Lilac

I would go for something natury, or of the sort.

This is my resting spot
I can let myself breathe
I may not be perfect
But at least I am free
