Help[Opinions] Re: Willow
in reply to a message by Lily
I've loved Meadow for years. Apart from the obvious lovely imagery of a meadow, it has a soothing, mellow sound. The "m" and "d" sound give it depth, at least to my ears. (Odd, I know.)
With Willow, I couldn't keep "weeping willow" out of my mind. But with effort I managed it and could evaluate Willow on its own merits. I've come to love it for its ethereal, wispy quality.
Unfortunately, Meadow and Willow would be too much as sisters. The similarity in sound only exacerbates the in-your-face-nature-but-not-frilly-flower-theme.
Of the two, I'd definitely stick with Meadow. It feels more timeless and I think it will age better. Have you "pond"ered any mns yet? :-)

hahaha I've tried to find a middle name for it for quite some time but haven't found a combo I really like. Meadow Amandine and Meadow Adeline are combos I kind of like but I don't love them. Meadow Quinn is one I thought of this morning.
I love Meadow, I think it's so calm. It just calms you down in a way peppermint tea does :P Haha I'm weird but Meadow makes me think of the color green and of peppermint and it's really soothing.

Yes, or dandelion tea? The meadows in my neighborhood are choking with dandelions. :-P
Meadow Adeline is adorable. It's definitely my favorite from your list. I love Amandine in theory; I just can't get almonds out of my mind. When combined with Meadow I picture a meadow of almonds. That's not a bad reference at all, but it is distracting to me. Meadow Quinn comes out as "Meadow Queen" in my brain.
Seeing no opposition to throwing random combinations at you, I submit the following for your consideration:
Meadow Cathleen / Catriona / Katrina
Meadow Audrey
Meadow Elsa (Elsa Meadow is a stock combo of mine that I love)
Meadow Julia
Meadow Carys
Meadow Sylvie (meadow + forest, subtly)
Meadow Leontine (sort of like Amandine, but with lions)
Meadow Glynis
Meadow Anouk
Meadow Celeste (or is that too Celestial Tea-ish?) / Celestine (yikes! even more so?)
(Must dash)

Ohhh I like Meadow Audrey. For some reason I always want to pair it with an A-name. Au-names make me think of autumn and I like the image I get from them. Did you know that Elsa is a family name? :P It's one of my middle names and my mom's and grandma's and great grandma's name! I think I might use it someday but at the moment it doesn't really appeal to me, I don't know why. Meadow Anouk is really cute too :) Thanks!
Oh dandelion tea! I think I'll make myself some tea now!
