How does Erika Willow Brown sound to you all?

I don't like willow, at all, not just in that combination...but its not horrid (the closest to "i like it" as you're gonna get with willow from me!) :)

I do like Erika Brown though.

I think it flows well. Erika isn't my favorite name, but there's nothing wrong with it really.

Willow is a beautiful name. It brings to mind immediately Buffy the Vampire Slayer which I didn't even watch very much. This probably isn't a big deal though as its the middle name.

I like it a lot! Sounds pretty!

I don't really like the name Erika but I do love willow. In this combo I think the names together sound great :)

I think using a plant name along with the last name Brown makes it sound like the poor willow is dead :-(

I also tend to prefer whatever the most common spelling is of a name, so the poor child isn't constantly correcting the spelling. So, I'd go for Erica over Erika.

I have actually seen/know more Erikas than Ericas, not always the case but it is pretty 50% 50% from what i've been told. Just don't go with Ericka!

Lol, trust me I won't. Erika is my sister's name and since we're Finnish, we never use C for the K sound. :)

I like it.
Now I'm partial to Willow more than Erika so if it were me I'd do 'Willow Erika Brown'. However, your way is really nice as well.

Yeah, I thought about it the other way around, but in my head Erika Willow just sounds better. We are planning on using Willow as her "main" name though.

I actually love it :)

I don't like "Erika", but I love "Willow"

[oh-snitch.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of Erika in general, I don't hate it, but I don't love it. Willow is GORGEOUS.

[calixbat.livejournal.com]

I like it-alot!

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I like it, it's pretty

Erika Willow Brown, and Erika Brown both sound fine to me.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

my only problem is the middle name with the last. willow brown sounds like a dead tree. willows are supposed to be green! :P but since you'll rarely call her the entire name, it's probably just fine.

if it were MY last name, i would avoid naturey names for FN or MNs, or any name that brings a color image to mind. But Im also incredibly anal about that kind of thing, so it may just be me. :P

No, it's not just you. My bf's father is dead set against anything brown (furniture, carpets, clothing, anything!). Everyone guesses that it has to do with his last name.
On the bright side, my bf doesn't have that problem. :)

And about Erika Willow, I've imagined it so that we use Willow as her name and Will as a NN. So Will Brown doesn't sound that bad. Plus, if she really dislikes being called Will/Willow, then she could always use Erika.

To me it sounds great, I like both Erika and Willow and think they sound lovely together.

It doesn't flow well. Willow is one of my favorite names- it's very soft and feminine. Erika, in my opinion, isn't. It's more harsh. It's not that I don't like Erika- it just doesn't go well with Willow.

[coconutchica.livejournal.com]

I really like Erika spelled that way. I was never a fan of Willow (that 80s movie kind of freaked me out) but it does have the fabulous nn possibility of Lola, which I'm liking more and more each day.

I like the combination, I dont think that people will automatically think of a dead tree, i always think of the girl from Buffy
