I like Juliet and Hazel.

I've never been a Mae fan. Laurel sounds too nature-y for me. I have nothing against Willa or Faye; they just aren't my style.

thanks

I love Faye and Juilet, I really don't like the others.

If you like Willa why not Willow?

I like Willow too, I just like Willa more cos it's less common.

I love Willa and I hate Willow. Willow doesn't seem like a name to me and it sounds too much like pillow.

I like Laurel and Juliet. Willa is okay.

thanks

Willa - it's been growing on me
Faye - Dunaway. I think of it as an old lady name
Juliet - LOVE.
Hazel - Eh.
Laurel - No. Bad associations with a Lauren and it's too close.
Mae - West. Love it.

Willa has been growing on me as well, it's not a name I thought of at all until recently.

Love Juliet and love Mae. I would use Mae as a middle name, but I adore Juliet.

now the tricky part is seeing if the fiance likes them at all :)

I <3:
Hazel
Laurel

thanks

I adore the name Mae. It's my little sister's middle name so if I ever use it it would have significance, but I just love the sound of it!

aww your sister has a cool name!

Mae & Juliet = <3
The only one that i dont like is Laurel, but i knew a laurel once and she was a bitch....so i have a name aversion haha.

lol, I know all about name aversions.

I love juliet.

One of the kids at the school in which I work recently got a new baby sister. I was excited when I heard they named her Juliet, until I found out they used the Italian spelling so it's Giuliette

Considering I married into a very italian family I actually prefer that spelling :)

And it goes well with out last name.

I love all those names and also your icon.

thanks :)

First of all, I love your icon. Second of all, the only one I really liked was Juliet, but... someone named that has DUN ME RONG and since then I've ceased to like it at all.

lol oh no, mean people should not be allowed to have pretty names!

Willa Mae is pretty but it's kind of "country" sounding to me, which wouldn't necessarily be bad except fiance has a quite Jewish last name.

Is that so bad? I mean my husband has a spanish last name, and we've pretty much decided on all irish/ hebrew names. Never mind, I just thought of the name Willa Mae Abromowitz, lol.

lol, yeah you see what I mean

I love Laurel

I've always thought it was lovely.

I like Laurel and Mae.

thanks

Willa: Sounds to masculine to me for some reason.. I associate it with William I guess.
Faye: Love this.
Juliet: Classicly pretty, but starting to be overdone.
Hazel: I like it as a middle name.
Laurel: Not my style.
Mae: Love it as both a first and middle.

thanks for your input! :)

Willa - I love this name. It's so much better than Willow
Faye - very pretty
Juliet - love it
Hazel - looooooooooooooooooove so so so much. Def my fave on your list
Laurel - pretty but I do prefer Lauren
Mae - pretty, simple, and classy.

thanks for your input, too bad my fiance nixed all of the names!
pickiest man ever!
Right now I'm trying to sell him on Sophie and Hannah.

I like Willa, Mae, and Juliet a lot. Mae is really cute, I'd love to see someone with this as a first name (or May). Laurel is fine, and Faye is a bit dated for me but could work with the right middle name. I hate Hazel. Ugly.

thanks for your input :)

Willa - i prefer Willow, Willa sounds incomplete to me

Faye - Love this. I know two 4 year olds with this name, but they're the only Faye's i know, soit's not overly common here (UK). Another name which sounds similar is Freya (pro. Fray-uh), i actually like this more than Faye.

Juliet - I think this is cute as long as u dont use the nn julie.

Hazel - kind of 'eh' to me

Laurel - I don't like it. I prefer Lauren

Mae - i like this :)

My fave from your list is Faye =) Good luck!

thanks, and I wouldn't use the nick name Julie either.

Willa -- Not really my style, but okay.
Faye -- I don't like it.
Juliet -- LOVE
Hazel -- Also love.
Laurel -- Very pretty.
Mae -- I don't like it.

thanks for your input :)

Willa: it's ok.. but I prefer Willow (my daughter's name) and it's not that common it hasn't hit the top 500 in the US, so that's less that 500 kids per year with it.

Faye: Makes me think of Tammy Faye Baker, so ew.

Juliet: I like it

Hazel: It's a tree name (which I love) but the name itself makes me think of someone's grandma baking pies.. lol

Laurel: another tree name! I love it but my BF already said no if our #2 is a girl.
Mae: it's ok, but again.. sounds like an old lady.

I like Willow as well but I know that my fiance won't say yes to it, I thought he might say yes to Willa. Alas, he nixed all the names. He is really picky.

With Willow it was so easy, I've wanted to use that name since I was 13 years old (I had her at 28) and he just loved the name, we didn't even bother thinking of others. BUT, this time I suggested literally hundreds of names and he hated everything - so I told him to suggest some.. he suggested about 5 and I hated those.. lol

About a month ago I thought of a name, looked up the meaning and the popularity and it hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1994. So, of course, I'm not telling anyone what it is.. lol

Willa - I like it. I like Willow too but I think they're both a little too "hippyish" for me to use.
Faye - I don't really like it.
Juliet - Pretty
Hazel - Blah. Liked this when I was a kid but not anymore.
Laurel - It sounds too much like Lauren and every Lauren I've ever known has been a total bitch.
Mae - Love this as a middle name, maybe not so much as a first.

wow everyone seems to have known alot of bitchy Laurens!

Lol! I noticed that too!
