Ivy Juliet is pretty.

We're 90% sure we're going with:

Ivy Raquel

We also like:

Ivy Caroline
Ivy Madeline
Ivy Saoirse
Ivy Jael
Ivy Rhiannon
Ivy Lynn
Ivy Kathleen

I like Ivy Elise... it has a really nice rhythm that rolls off the tongue...

Love your taste in names OP. All names that were/are on my shortlist!

I have Ivy Jean on my shortlist.

Ivy Juliet is lovely too though if you can convince your DH. Love your DD's name too!

Good luck

Ivy Mae?

Just thought of another few that I don't think anyone has said yet:

Ivy Lucille
Ivy Lucilla
Ivy Lucia
Ivy Luciana
Ivy Gretel
Ivy Annika
Ivy Raphaela
Ivy Camilla
Ivy Claudia
Ivy Josephine
Ivy Henrietta
Ivy Tallulah

.

I know an Ivy Asher

I love love love Juliet.

Ivy is a plant to me.

But if you are set on it, Ivy Juliet sounds lovely together.

Otherwise:

Ivy Kate
Ivy Zara
Ivy Laura

Mine is Ivy Ann, after grandma Ann. DH chose Ivy and at first I wasn't sure about it, now I love it.

Thanks SO much Fifi, was hoping you might pop in since you always have a million suggestions I love

They are all fantastic, thank you! Will put them to DH..now that's the hard part lol.


Are both lovely too (plus the ones you and Fifi both suggested ) Thank you!



Aww thanks Considering DH didn't like DD's name AT ALL until the week before she was born, and now he LOVES it I'm certainly not ready to give up on Ivy Juliet just yet



Absolutely ADORE these 3 Fifi.
Was just going to say DH just suggested Ivy Raphaela I think I like it alot, but is it 'too much'?

Loving the suggestions ladies, please keep them coming x

Oh I'm glad you loved quite a few. I think Ivy Raphaela is really lovely, not too much at all with Ivy being so short.

Elizabeth
Marguerite
Camilla/Camille
Olivia
Victoria
Georgette
Eliza
Catarina
Eleanor

I don't suppose this is an IVF pregnancy? I like the idea of Ivy Fiona, Ivy Florence or Ivy Francesca for an IVF baby.

Thanks Fifi Well it's definitely a front runner then. I'm not ready to give up on Ivy Juliet just yet though as I really really love it, but Raphaela is beautiful too, and a plus that DH already likes it Will show him all the others too, surely he has to agree to something?! Lol.



No it's not But my mum's name is Fiona so you never know hehe. I do love Florence, lovely!

I love Juliet but was overruled so instead we have an Ivy Miranda. I would push for Juliet failing that I like the 'a' endings for middle names.

Oh loubee I love Miranda! Unfortunately DH does not I suggested it as a first name and got the old N-O. He is incredibly fussy! Will keep Ivy Juliet at the top of the list though hehe

Ivy Louise sounds pretty!

N, fifi has thrown in some beautiful suggestions
I hope that B comes around with Juliet though, if not Raphaela sounds beautiful with Ivy.

Thanks lovely, was hoping you'd pop in as I know you'd give me your honest opinion Hoping B comes around to Juliet too It just seems 'right' lol. You don't think Ivy Raphaela is too much with our surname though?
Ahhh at least we're having a discussion, hooray for that Baby might just end up with a name after all lol.

Elizabeth.

Seriously I can't think of anything with Ivy to rival Juliet. There's something about that combo that it is just meant to be. If him indoors/outdoors can warm to Ivy I would just wait for him to announce that he has warmed to Juliet as well.

Snap. DH wouldn't hear of Juliet or Miranda as first or second names but when she was unexpectedly delivered on the bathroom floor, he missing it by minutes he was happy with whatever I wanted.

I like Ivy May.

I like a single syllable middle name. And you said your surname was longish?

But I also think Ivy Juliet is beautiful.

The first name that came to mind when I saw the topic was Ivy Leigh

That's it from me - I can't compete with the long list of gorgeous names already suggested!!

Me too. First names that came to mind were Ivy Clare and Ivy Jane. Also like Ivy May.

Ivy Marie
Ivy Kate
Ivy Harriet
Ivy Clementine
Ivy Delilah

I like Ivy May, but I've got a thing about May as a middle name at the moment ......
If you have a long surname, I think a one syllable middle name would be perfect

Thanks so much for all your help and suggestions ladies!



I totally agree It just feels 'right' to me, I can't explain it. (No doubt we will probably have a boy now lol.) I'm definitely not ready to cross it off the list though! Fingers crossed DH just all of a sudden comes around to it like he did with DD's name (even if it was last minute!).



Wow so that's what it might take?! Not sure if I'm THAT dedicated What an amazing birth story though!


I do agree that Ivy May 'flows' well...but I'm really not a fan of May I do like Grace but it's just SO popular as a mn, I also like Pearl and Jewel but think they both sound funny with Ivy, like it's a precious stone made of Ivy

Plenty of fantastic suggestions though, thank you! Getting DH to agree is the hard part though lol.

In all honesty no, I don't think it's too much with your surname at all
Here's hoping that you have just decided on girls names x

Makes me think of Ivy League.

an oldie but a goodie (cos its mine ) what about Ivy Rose?

My first thought was Ivy Louise.

I looooove Ivy Juliet.

My niece is Ivy Grace

Ivy Florence
Ivy Matilda
Ivy Clementine

All sound beautiful!

My daughter is Ivy Milla. We also had Clementine and Willow as possible middle names.

This! beautiful.... so glad I checked to see if it was suggested

I really like Ivy Louise (or Ivy Louisa if you want to be a bit more schmancy ).

Ivy May

Thanks again ladies!


I've actually seen your sig before and think your daughters name is stunning Unfortunately our surname sounds like Milla, so it wouldn't work for us I also think your son's name is gorgeous, both Elliot and Jude are on our list too!

Louise is MIL's name so that could be an option, but in all honestly I don't really *love* the name, and DD doesn't have a family name as her middle name so were just going to give this bub it's own first and middle name too

And I agree that Ivy Rose is pretty But am trying to avoid another flower/nature name for the mn as I think it sounds odd with Ivy as a first name iykwim?

Thannks again for the suggestions, they're helping alot! x

Thanks! I'm quite taken with it too. It's funny, with both my kids we'd decided on their first name only and went into the birthing suite with a list of middle names to choose from.

My beautiful sig is now almost 3 years old! I can't believe my baby is 3 next month Guess I should make a new one?
