What kind of name is willow

This is a pretty name, but there are lots and lots of kids with this name. The only Willow I know is my youngest cat, but she is enough for me to like this name. She is very friendly and very talkative. These make me think any Willow I could meet might be similar: friendly and easy to talk to. I may sound like a cat freak, but there you are. Wise and gentle, this is an awesome middle name! Personally, I think it makes a better middle name than a first name.

The reason it was used on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was because it was unique, and it's lost that uniqueness. So have Xander, Harmony, Angel, and a number of other names used on that show. I know a guy named William whose family calls him Willow. Willow Ufgood, a character in the American fantasy film called Willow. This would make a great boy's name!

My name is Willow, and after reading a lot of the comments on here, most of you seem ignorant, or somewhat conservative, I'm fourteen and appreciate my name a lot I hate the fact that idiots like Willow smith are named it.

The name Willow is a beautiful strong name and for people who see or hear the name Willow and think of a pillow or celebrity or the tree well you sound stupid, because I bet you if you did any research on this name you'd have respect for it.

Willow is a wise name derived from the tree which was magical and full of healing properties, it was used by the pagans in spells and lots of other things, and I have met quite a few people that just are too square and boring for this name, you have to be opinionated, wise, intelligent and respectful, you aren't a Willow if you do not fit in that category.

I hope you all see this name isn't just another common name like Jane or Lucy. Willow99 I really like your name and I certainly respect it. I think Willow trees are visually stunning and in a way, look mystical. The Willow Smith association hasn't wavered me off; I actually plan on naming my future daughter this.

It's good to see you appreciate your unique name. Despite being common, not bad. I named my golden retriever Willow for a few reasons: 1. Because of the breed's long willowy hair. Because she's more of a red golden so it reminded me of Buffy's Willow 3. It really suits her.

She's very sweet, loving, obedient. A little dopey, but a lot of heart. I would like to see Willow used as a boy's name. I probably wouldn't name my own child Willow, but it does sound nice. And I like the tree too. Willow is the name of Ebony's best friend in the infamous fanfic My Immortal. The name Willow isn't completely modern It was in rare use dating back to at least the 's. Of course it is much more popular now.

Normally I hate trendy names, but I like Willow. It sounds nice and laid-back, and it isn't spelled with a bunch of unnecessary vowels. I can't hear this without thinking of Willow Smith whipping her hair back and forth. My little sister's name is Willow, and she's tall and lanky like a Willow tree, she has never been teased about her name, she's very proud to have the name because it's not as popular as the "common names".

As someone who really appreciates the classical, traditional names our world has to offer, I'm not usually fond of the trendy names commonly seen today. However, this is one of the few exceptions. I like it a lot! It's soft while being strong. Unusual while not sounding weird. I like how it sounds on a little girl, an teenager, an adult, and a old woman. I don't know if I would use it for any of my possible future children, but I like the sound of it for a character!

It probably isn't the most solid choice, but there are certainly worse names out there today. It's a nice name! Willow was for a long time in my top 10 but one day I just thought it sounds too much like pillow?! And have been put off ever since. Willow Shields b. Well this is a pretty name but doesn't anyone worry that people would tease their little girl and call her pussy willow?

I'm certain that someone at some point in her life would come up with that. I once knew two sisters named Rowan and Willow. I'm not the biggest fan of the names for sibsets, but I like the laid back feeling of the name. It brings to mind a girl who is easy going, succinct, and active and woman who is to the point, just the facts, with a dry yet witty sense of humor. I love the name Willow and its ethereal beauty and the character Willow Rosenberg on Buffy the Vampire Slayer , however, it's become too common for me to consider using it now.

Plus celebrities have used it, which is always a negative in my opinion. Any time a celebrity uses a name it's almost immediately stigmatized. Other than that, I actually like the name, for someone else's kid. I prefer stronger names but it does remind me of Weeping Willows which are very beautiful trees. Ugh this name is such a cliche. And naming a kid after a tree of any kind is really all kinds of wrong in the first place. I love the name Willow.

It's fun, fresh and modern. It's increasing in popularity but it's still rare to meet a Willow. I've only known one Willow and she is awesome. Having been named Willow a quarter of a century ago I feel obliged to say something about it. The name came to my parents through proximity and a love of the tree than through any kind of Pop-Culture reference.

While I did face my fair share of name-teasing at school the benefits of having a name which was uncommon and suited me far outweighed the negatives. Also, most people seem to remember my name far more than others with more common, and might I say over used names.

I do not see why everybody loves it so much. It sounds so sappy and weak, like a hopeless romantic who can't stand up for herself.

Not to mention it's very trendy and practically reeks of celebrity. This name is nice, though it's not one of my favorites. I don't care for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know there's also the association with Willow Smith, but her song has actually become a guilty pleasure of mine, so I don't mind that. I adore this name. It's just so wispy and pretty. Also, one of my favorite trees is the weeping willow. And Will Smith's daughter is named this--and her new song grates on my nerves. Maybe I'll name a cat this.

But still, absolutely graceful. I honestly don't get the appeal of Willow. It seems very trendy. Sure, it's a nature name, but it is hardly in the same class as Rose or her more traditional sisters. Plus, it smacks of celebrity. Despite this being a modern name, I actually really like it. It's so graceful. I've loved this name since I was a little kid, as I was a big fan of the movie "Willow" mentioned in earlier comments.

Even though it was used for a male character in the movie, one of my friends' mother's name was Willow, so I knew it could also be used for women. And then, of course, there's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which brought the name to many more people's attention and got the name in the top Baby Names in America. Whenever I hear this name, I think of a rather tall, graceful, slender "willowy" dancer.

But I can also picture this name on a little girl--it then takes on a playful quality--and an old woman, where the "wise" trait takes hold. I particularly love the combination Willow Sage, which for me definitely ups the wisdom factor.

My biggest problem with this name is that I can't picture it on any person younger than ten or older than forty. Too close to the word pillow but other than that a really beautiful name. Willow is a beautiful name, and great as a middle name. It's a great name for a smart and cute girl!

It sounds so dark and strong and sensual and mysterious. Damn gorgeous! This name is SOOO cute! I love it! As a feminine given name it is rather rare.
