LOVE Willow! DH nixed it immediately, or else I would be seriously considering it for at least a MN, if I couldn't get the courage to use it for the FN (if it turns out we're having a girl).
Not a huge fan of the rest of them - I don't think they're horrible, just NMS. I like Penelope for the NN Poppy, and Ivy, Piper, and Hadley are cute but I picture them more on a little girl than on an adult.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
I would cross off Hadley and Harper for sure, Harper is pretty much my least favorite girl name ever and Hadley is just so trendy. Sloane and Teagan are not my style. Whitney is nice but feels a bit dated.
For the GP list I would keep: Willow, Eden and maybe Ivy. I wouldn't think twice about actually using Penelope, Phoebe, Piper or possibly Ivy.
Re: Baby Names - my guilty pleasure names
I like Hadley, Phoebe, and Teagan.
I would definitely use Phoebe if our LN didn't beging with the same sound.

I would totally use Penelope, Eden, Piper, Whitney and Harper.
Not a fan of Phoebe, Willow, Ivy and Hadley, but I wouldn't consider them GP names for me.
Do not like Sloane - sounds harsh and masculine.
I think Teagan is a boy's name.
