I love [name]Willow[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name], but, no offense, [name]Stella[/name] is one of these names which I have a real knee-jerk irrational dislike for. Dislike it putting it lightly. I’m so sorry, please don’t think me rude, and if you love it, go for it – but that’s just my opinion.

I adore [name]Ivy[/name], though, to be honest, and I’d go for that. It’s just charming, youthful, but ages well. It has a little bit of old-fashioned charm, but it fits with modern trends fairly well. It’s feminine without being frilly or silly, and would suit just about any kind of girl, from bookworm to tomboy.

I can’t think of any combos, but I saw [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Constance[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Temperance[/name] mentioned, and they are AWESOME!

No offense taken at all… I appreciate the feedback what is it about [name]Stella[/name] that you dislike out of curiosity? Thanks!

Of your three names I like [name]Ivy[/name] & [name]Willow[/name] the best, with [name]Willow[/name] just beating [name]Ivy[/name]. [name]Stella[/name] to me is very cold and harsh sounding. It’s not a name I’ve ever liked, if I’m honest.

As well as [name]Charis[/name]/[name]Carys[/name] (which I love), two other names that mean grace according to BehindTheName are [name]Amara[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name]. I think [name]Willow[/name] [name]Amara[/name] or [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Carys[/name] would be especially lovely.

BTW you were asking about the pronounciation of [name]Carys[/name]. In [name]England[/name] & [name]Wales[/name] it’s always pronounced [name]Ca[/name]-ris (short a, like in ‘apple’)

[name]Stella[/name] [name]Kate[/name]

I like [name]Ivy[/name] also, but can’t think of a MN similar to grace that I like with it.
