Honestly, I don't like the name-- it just seems sort of off to me, like why would someone want to name their kid after poison ivy? It doesn't seem like a serious name at all.

That being said, I actually know FOUR Ivy's-- two adults and two babies, both born and names BEFORE Beyonce's child.

Blake, like Blake Lively?

I also love this name. It actually was almost DD's name, but DH preferred another name I liked as much so we went with that.

The nice thing about Ivy is that its not too off-the-wall but you don't hear it every day either. I'm surprised to hear others think it's a stripper name -- I've never made that association. I tend to think of it as a relatively classic name that has been around for a long time.

It's not bad, but I think you can do better OP. It's just ok.

But the middle name Rae makes it sound horrible like someone who should be on Honey Boo boo

Agree. And "Ivy Blake" is just bad: doesn't flow, doesn't sound good, the two names have completely different vibes. Back to the drawing board for the middle name!

I agree that Rae has a bit of a country vibe to it. Maybe because of Norma Rae? Blake is OK, although the flow seems a bit off to me.

What about a three-syllable middle rather than one-syllable?

Ivy Juliet
Ivy Annabelle
Ivy Genevieve
Ivy Adeline

My daughter's name is Ivy! This thread makes me much happier than that awful "Is Ivy a stripper name" thread which appeared a few months after her birth.

I adore the name, obviously, and people tell me all the time that they love it, too. Only one person has ever said anything about poison ivy, and he was about 9 years old.

It is a beautiful name, love it.

Not Op but I like the combos with a middle name starting with a vowel.

So at least 4 of us think of strippers. I bet there would be a large percentage of men who think of that, too.

What I've learned on DCUM is that every name is a stripper name, except Elizabeth.
