    Don't like Ivie, looks totally odd.

    Love Ivy (DH vetoed it here too lol)

    But I wouldn't have an Ivy and a Lily, just me, but I would then be wondering if you had a son would you name him Lief... lol
    I really love India, also, (Also a GWTW fan here!) so would choose it over Ivy for the above reason.

    GL!

    I love both!! But don't stuff around with the spelling of 'Ivy', it only complicates things and is pointless IMO.

    Thanks everyone for your response. It is amazing when you actually write the name, Ivie has put me off, I love Ivy!!! And I must say I normally don't like nn either, but there is something about Indie that we love. It's a hard one, I am just stuck on both names!!!!
    There was one other hanging around we have been thinking of and that's Viola????

    Another vote of Ivy. Not a fan of Viola though.

    lol No to Viola, again due to the flower name thing, sorry! Just me though I am sure.

    Definitely prefer India/Indi over Ivy. Not a huge fan of Viola think Violet is lovely though.
    I dont think there is a problem using 2 flower names. I know a family with a Lily, Maggie and Violet, so it doesn't mean you have to stick to a trend if you have more kids.

    Still prefer India or even Indah

    Another Ivy fan here. Although with a daughter named Lily I can't help but hear Rose McGowan in Jawbreaker "A fern is a plant and, I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be a flower."

    And no to Viola (I thought instrument too). I prefer Violet.

    I also think India is a pretty name. Then someone mentioned Gone With the Wind and India Wilkes was such a spiteful, gossipy character. Didn't like her at all.

    Sorry, I probably haven't been much help at all. Ivy is my fave.
