Re: Meadow

I don't think Meadow is tacky; it is a little bit hippy, but not crazily so.
I like nature names a lot (River is a guilty pleasure of mine!). Meadow is far from my favorite. I think I like the mental image but not the way the word looks ... or something. But I think it is usable, as long as you resist any urges to pair it with modifier. "Misty Dawn" etc. are to be avoided, I think.
I knew a woman named Amber Willow; this struck me as a wonderful idea, because it gave her the option to be the 'normal' Amber or the 'creative' Willow. As it turned out, she always went by Willow or Amber Willow (never just Amber). And she was, in fact, very offbeat and creative.
