| So, I want Alyssa, my DH wants Maria, and its a tossup on Willow. I said I'd post on dcum-and he agreed. So.............which one? |

| Willow or Maria. Alyssa feels dated in a not-good way. Takes me back to the "just add a y to it to fancy it up!" days of creative naming in the 90s. |

Not Willow.
My girl name choice was "Alyssa Marie", so I'd go with that. |

These are really, really different names! None are bad, but ...
Alyssa ... trendy '80s name. Willow ... it's having a moment. It's a beautiful name, but I think it might be getting kind of trendy. Maria ... to me, this is a gorgeous, underused classic. It's my favorite of these three. |

| Alyssa feels very dated to me. I'd go with Maria. I think you will regret Willow in 5 years. |

| Maria. It's the most classic. Alyssa has a very 80s feel and Willow is hippy-dippy. |

I like Alyssa. Marie is a good middle name.
NOT Willow. |

| Alyssa feels dated to me. I love Willow and it was also on my short list for a girl. Maria is also such a beautiful, classic name. I would go with either Willow for a fresh, modern pretty name or Maria for a name that has stood the test of time yet doesn't feel dated. |

I wish I could like your choices but None are great. Maria is boring, Alyssa is 1980's and Willow is a tree.

Maria is the clear choice.
Alyssa is very downwardly mobile Willow is a stripper name Maria is classic and not often used. |

+1 So many Alyssas in the 90s, doesn't seem ready for a comeback. Willow is sweet. Maria is classic but a little dull imo. |

| Agree that Alyssa is dated. Maria is not popular at all but a nice choice. She will be the only one in the class. |

| Another vote for Maria, out of those three choices. Alyssa feels 90s and it's a bit lower class to me. Willow is too hippy dippy. Maria is classic. |
