You’ve spent hours and hours researching the perfect name (and Willow is a beautiful one!), only to realize you’ve completely forgot to consider what your baby’s middle name should be.
The middle name is actually really important for a few reasons — not least of which is that it forms the critical middle initial.

My favorite middle names for Willow are Willow Grace and Willow Skye. I just like how these names flow together so well when you say them aloud with the name Willow.
There are so many choices, though, so you should pick the ones that sound the best to you!
Meaning of the name Willow
According to BabyCenter, Willow is of English origin and means “freedom” and “tree.” Some other popular meanings of the name are “slender” and “grace.” These meanings make sense when you picture a beautiful weeping willow tree.
The name Willow stayed at number 50 on the popularity list for girl names for 2020. It’s often associated with being a peaceful name.
Some famous Willows are singer and songwriter Willow Camille Reign Smith, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and the fictional character Willow Rosenberg in the popular series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Wrapping Up
Didn’t find “the one” on my list?
Use it as a jumping off point for your own research, or consider some other great girl names like Luna, Ava, or Olivia.
And here’s another tip — you can also try using some of your second and third choices first names as middle names. They often work great!
