dh and i decided

punkfiction · May 2009

that if we got pregnant and had another girl - her name would be Rowan. you can judge all you want, but i though id tell you - so hands off you pregnant thieves!! LOL

after i fell in love with it (on nymbler) i decided to look up the meaning, right? well, it means "little red-head" and that sealed it.

*blondiem* · May 2009

I love that name

akiernan · May 2009

I wanted to use Rowan as our boys' name when we were pregnant with SP.

DH made fun of my choice. Sad

mary5198 · May 2009

My BF's daughter is named Rowan - I LOVE it!

ABMcKinney · May 2009

Lol. Doesn't Aidan mean "fiery"? Very fitting. I like Rowan.

violetvirgo · May 2009

i love the name rowan! dh is a traditionalist when it comes to names, but a girl can dream right?

rynhales · May 2009

I like it, I love your kiddos names. What will it be if it is a boy?

I was wondering...how long did it take you to get preg with your first two, you had said it didnt take long.

LOL yes. aidan means "little fire" or something. poor sawyer got the shaft on name meanings.

wendyj · May 2009

I really like that name. I have other names in mind if we end up having a girl in the future, so you don't have to worry about me. Smile

misjenn · May 2009

Rowan is the name of the main (female!) character of Anne Rice's The Witching Hour. I've always liked the name!

rynhales · May 2009

I never noticed Aidan has a great birthday.... mine

ha - yes, BF is "best friend". Forgot that stood for something else

Echowysp · May 2009

A good friend named her daughter that, but she "Americanized" it by spelling it Rowyn.

Raffes484 · May 2009

I love both your girl and boy name. I mentioned Declan to DH when I was pregnant with DD, but he was completely opposed :-(

i know. im worried it might be TOO unisex for my style

Toosdai · May 2009

I thought you were going to say that you decided to go ahead and post the booty pic that you mentioned the other night.

Oh well. I like the name actually and don't automatically think boy so you're making progress. Wink

punkfiction · May 2009

ryn - ill remember to say happy bday to you this year

and declan has been dh's idea since before aidan LOL he is just WAIIIIITING to use it. if we for some reason decided against declan (for some odd reason), we like dexter. so nerdy, i know. but i can't help myself.

GeoffreytheGiraffe · May 2009

I think Brooke Shields named her daughter Rowan... but It could be Christine, too...my memory is faulty..

IckyThump · May 2009

Yep, Brooke Shields' oldest daughter is named Rowan. I read "Down Came The Rain" a few months back, so I know it well.

I like it. Big Smile

Milsby · May 2009

The name is so fitting, it just seems like you ARE going to have a third girl.

punkfiction · May 2009

wait so this is better than Miller?

which is the name we wanted 2 nights ago until we realized having a Sawyer and a Miller would sound like we pick jobs for our children. lol

DITTO!!

I was about this close to naming my youngest son Sawyer. Hubby was stuck on Samuel though.

BetchySprout · May 2009

I am a teacher and there is a Rowan at my school. She pronounces it Row-anne though. I also knew a girl named Rowanne.

Love it! And definitely the Row-e/in pronunciation, not Row-anne!

Wow, our name lists sound identical... I loved Sawyer but my best friend and I were pregnant at the same time and she named her baby Sawyer. Rowan and Miller were on my list (first for a girl, second for a boy)... DH HATED Miller which made me so sad... also, one of my good friends named her son Declan, too.

BUT I think Rowan goes perfectly with your other names. Yay unisex names

LOL that sucks dh hated miller. its like the one name dh just adores for a girl, but i can't have the 2 "job-like" names. aaaaand there's a lot of trash in the world that think "miller lite" first LOL

and good. i was hoping they fit together... not that im having a 3rd girl OR that im pregnant. but i like to be ready beforehand. i do not like to spend months thinking about it
