However that didn't stick. For some incredibly strange reason, once I held my gorgeous girl in my arms I called her Willow. Poor Tyler, he was a little confused about this! I didn't consult him on the choice, which I suppose was a little mean, but hey it's happened now. The poor guy was calling her RoWillow for days - I didn't mean to confuse anyone, honest!Anyway, once Willow Smith's song 'Whip your hair' came on, instantly I knew why I had chosen the name. Willow had an incredible amount of hair!
Would love to hear your 'The name they nearly were' stories! If I were a boy, I wouldn't have had a name, guess it's a good job I am actually a girl and could be called Elle...
Comment away!
Much Love

Thanks to Mama Kat for the lovely writing prompts. I have been subscribed for a while to her weekly prompts email, but this is the first post I have ever written after being inspired. :)
We whittled our name choices down to 5 for a girl and 1 for a boy. When my daughter was born I let my husband choose from those 5, with my son it was a bit easier! I still wonder whether my daughter would suit Tess, Nell, Connie or Gabrielle better than the name we chose. Then I realise her name suits her perfectly
ReplyDeleteI still love the names Ida and Olive, so perhaps they can be names future girls. Where I found out we were having a girl straight away we didn't have to consider any boys names, but thinking about it now I have no idea what she would be called if she were a boy!

Opposite situation here; with both DD and DS, we could only agree on one name. There'd have been no question of changing them! Willow is a very pretty name but our surname ends with 'low' so it was never an option.
