Willow

• this is a pretty, different and relaxing girl name that conjures up just relaxing, this a cool name, I know a Willow named after her grandmother who name was Willie.
• Again, it has to do with nature and willows are great trees who grow a lot around here and remind me of the woods I often take the dog out for a walk.
• Another of those free-spirited nature names that I'm so fond of.  Willows are my favorite trees.  
• I love nature names.  Willow is such a lovely, free-spirited name!
• Just a pretty name to match a unique tree.
• Lovely, graceful name. I also like the tree, flexible and strong. Has fey qualities to it as well. This is my daughter's first name. Was not inspired by Buffy.
• I'm due 7/4/01 and if I have a girl her name will be Willow Grace. It's such a peaceful, serene name. And if she turns out to be a tom-boy she can go by Willie! =)
• one of the people I most admire is Jessica Willows. I think this is such a beautiful name.
• tall and graceful like a willow, that is what I'd like my daughter to look like.
• Just a beautiful unique name. I can just imagine willow trees blowing around next to a lake that has sparkling lights all over it.
• Willow Dawn: This name just brings an incredible image to mind! (Dawn is also my fn)
• Willow Faith: Willow is just one of the most beautiful names in the world. I have, for as long as I can remember, loved this name. My barbies, my stuffed animals, etc, all used to be Willow. My favorite tree, so elegant and graceful. Willow Grace is a little to much for me, so I thought what more beautiful a middle name than Faith. Of all of the endearing qualities God gave His children, I could not imagine a more beautiful or challenging one than Faith.
• Willow Scarlett Raine: Willow because I am Wiccan and I love the Willow trees gracefulness, Scarlett because I love the intensity of Scarlett red its very regal and Raine of course for my love of exactly that Rain - I think this name will label any girl as extremely intelligent and beautiful.

I wonder what percentage of baby name contributors watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer We seem to have an unusually high percentage of Xanders as well! For the record, the willow tree is also commonly associated with death, due to its "weeping" nature. Willow trees were often pictured on tombstones in the Victorian era. Salicylic acid (the active ingredient in aspirin) comes from the bark of the willow tree.
