One of my favorite names.

---

It's one of those that are grandma-turned-youthful names like Heidi and Ada

Ivy is okay. But I’d personally prefer it as a middle name.

I love Ivy. I find it sweet and simple. Unpretentious. I really like it a lot.

I love it but I'm disappointed that it's popular. I'm in the US and I've seen a lot of kids/babies named Ivy.

I mostly dislike names that start with I when it sounds like the pronoun. And Megan, pronounced with a ME-E-E. Just gives a very self-centred impression. Add to that the fact that ivy is a thoroughly annoying plant, and I really cannot warm up to it as a name.

I used to dislike it (it made me think of IVs in the hospital), but encountering Ivy as a name in real life allowed it to grow on me. It's one of my favorite flower / plant names.

It's too artsy.

I've yet to run into one in real life. I agree with your assessment of it. I used to be not keen on it but it has grown on me (pun not intended).

Dont like it

I'm one of the few who really doesn't get why it's so popular, it sounds like a celebrity baby name to me. It's not terrible but it just feels super trendy and completely like a stage name, not a real person's name.

I do love it and agree it is a bright and happy name, but it’s sooo popular. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever actually met a little Ivy!

I used to really like it, it made me think of the color green, ancient buildings, ice skating, red hair and hot chocolate which is a nice combination :) But it bores me now. I also dislike how it is close to IV.

If it were still uncommon and the IV thing didn't exist it would be nice. Now I find it kind of bland and even a tiny bit 2010s dated for some reason. Same with Daisy. But I prefer the calm Ivy over Daisy which seems a bit flashy (maybe because I think of fake-daisy jewelry and decorations from the 90s/early 00s).
