I really like this name combo!

It flows nicely enough. I prefer Ivy Jane (or Ivy-Jane) personally.

It flows alright, but the names seem too distinct for me to enjoy the combo.

I like Ivy Jean, but would prefer Ivy Jeanne. I don't care for the hyphen at all. Hyphens aren't recognized in data bases or on documents. Passports, for example, don't allow for hyphens.

Love Ivy, not so keen on Jean

I absolutely love it. Ivy is one of my favourite names and Jean was my maternal grandmother’s name. Ivy Jean as a combo was on my list when I still thought I might have a baby.

It's cute! I love both names, so together they work for me. I might like Ivy-Jeanne a smidge more.

I love Jean and dislike Ivy: because Ivy is a plant name, I'd expect it to be followed by something like Roots, Leaves, Tendrils ... if I wanted to give Jean a hyphenated neighbour, I think Mary-Jean would work better than Ivy-Jean. Close in length and -y ending, and probably also in popularity, probably faded from general use at about the same time.

I don't care for hyphens, but Ivy Jean is very cute, in a countryish yet stylish kind of way.

It's fine. I like it pretty good actually.

I like word names and I appreciate a good double-barrel. I don't think those two categories mesh well, unfortunately. The flow of 'Ivy-Jean' is fine, there's just something oddly confusing about the combo as a single name.
