Willow?

KMLP

For some strange reason, I like this name.  My mom says it sounds like a hippy child and my husband says it's a good name for a Lab and a tree.  lol! What do you girls think?

It does sound a little hippy chic to me..but I like it!  It's really pretty.

My dirty hippie vegan roots are going to show, but I like it. I'm actually surprised it wasn't on my teen name list. I'll admit that I did originally like it because of the movie, Willow (which is odd because Willow was a boy), but it probably helps that I know a little girl named, Willow, so it's not that far-fetched to me. Would I use it - no, but I wouldn't side-eye someone who did.

Oh, and it's currently number 315 on the SSA and making a steady climb.

I think its pretty!

It is a little hippie-ish but pretty

Too "Earthy" for me, but it's not terrible. I do think of Willow from Buffy immediately, though. 

BizEB

I love it and think it is unique and girly. 

BelleBaby

The first word that popped into my head was "hippy" so I guess your mom and I think alike!

MY DH likes this name. I do not.

I love it, and I'm so not a hippie.

I imagine they were going for birch tree with Birch, but birching is another name for beating someone with a stick.

Its nms, but pretty.

My cousin's little girl is named this, and she is adorable. I think it's a beautiful name.

wittyschaffy

a) reminds me of the 80s movie Willow

b) makes me think of someone very very hippie

c) while I don't hate it, it wouldn't be a name on my top 100 list and I like fairly "old" names.

and yes im hippish

I like it!  I knew a little girl named Willow years ago and she was the sweetest thing!  I like it even without that connection, but I just know that any girl with that name has to be adorable and sweet. :-)

britab

I've had a female boss named Willow and a male cat named Willow, so I think of those two but not hippies.

I agree that it sounds like a hippy chic, but I also really like it!

Me too.  Of course, I'm also obsessed with Alyson Hannigan, so that's where my mind goes.

I LOVE WIllow. I just delivered a baby girl at work the other day named Willow. Her parent's weren't hippies at all.

moonfaerie

It's pretty. I like it.

i used to love this name until it got popular. well, i still love it but it's no longer on my list. i say yes as long as you don't mind the popularity [and possible rise in the future]. willa is a close option but not exactly the same vibe if you're going for a nature name. i also love meadow but the sopranos ruined it for me.

MG7

I absolutely love it! We are thinking of using it but will likely use it as a middle name.

Maddie*13

I love it!  Willow is currently our number one girl name, and the only one we can agree on so far.

As for popularity, 315 on the list doesn't count as too popular for me.  Sure beats my other personal favorite Ava (sitting pretty at number 5).

BrittRMere

The 'Buffy' freak in me immediately thinks of Willow Rosenberg...

And I LOVE the name. So pretty.  

maggiemooandyou

Love it!! Isn't it also Will Smith's daughter's name? could be wrong but I absolutely think that you should name her Willow!

xosheenaox

Love it It's been a family middle name for 6 generations. I have it for one of my middle names and so does DD both our middle names are Nichole Willow

My husband and I love the name Willow. In fact, that is what we are naming our baby girl! Willow Anne
