Help wth baby girls names, Ivie or India????

[Anthea22]

Hi all,

After opinions on these two names, Ivie or (Ivy) or India for a little girl, we have a daughter already named Lily.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

I LOVE Ivy as a girls name, if only my DH would of let me use it, maybe if I have another girl it could be her middle name.

India.
We wanted to name ds1 India Lily had he been a girl.

[Anthea22]

Both DH and I really like both names, but Dh is worried Ivy will sound like a porn star name, I personally can't see it myself. Thoughts????
We also love India, but once again worried it might be a little too different? I want something a bit different though.
India Lily is very pretty!!!! I like India Rose, but think if we go with India we mightn't have a middle name.

I like Ivie, though spelt Ivy. Though if you prefer India, I don't think it's really that different.

If you go for India be prepared for it to be shortened to Indi.

Some of the old fashioned names are coming back so Ivy will fit in well.
Know nothing about the use of the name for porn, just remember any name you choose you make it your own regardless who else has it

I LOVE Ivy!!!!!

[Taurean]

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.

[LimeSlice]

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

[pippismum]

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.

Id only thought of viola as an instrument.

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.
