  I have to say, I have never heard Odin before but I surprisingly love it!

  None of these I really like, Roan would be the one I like the best, but it reminds me oddly of rogaine, Ansel just sounds strange like Hansel misspelled, and Odin reminds me of Odor.

  I like Roan the best - it's close enough to familiar Rowan/Ronans out there and has always been one of my favorite color words. Any chance of red hair?

  Odin, I get but there's something not quite great, yet not quite terrible...one of those names I can't make up my mind on.

  Ansel - my mom's favorite photographer is Ansel Adams. Behind the Name has it as an English surname, while Name Berry lists it as a German given name.

  I voted for Ansel because I like the name best of the three on its own, but also because I think of the photography, the other two come with not-so-great imagery for me . . .

  Roan makes me think of horses, which is not a terrible association, but not one I would choose.

  And Odin, well, I can't seem to say this name without also thinking, "Odin, God of War," so I don't think I could choose that one. The name has a really nice dynamic though.

   Good luck!

  I really like Roan, it makes me think of the movie "The Secret of Roan Inish".

  I don't know what's up with my siggy and I am too lazy to figure it out.

  Odin is a very stong Scandinavin name.  We have also decided on  a stong Scandinavin name if our LO is a boy....Gunnar. 

  Gunnar is my IVF miracle...after 4 years of TTC...Two cycles of IVF...Our little dude blessed us with his birth...I thank God everyday for him.

  When I hear Odin, all I can think of is Ron Burgandy saying "Great Odin's Raven!"

  I like Roan, but prefer it spelled Rowan.

  Odin is the name of my parents dog, but they spell it Oden.  

  The other name isn't my style.

  I like Ansel and Roan.  Odin we seriously considered for my dog but I was afraid people would shorted it to Odie.  Just something to think about.  I love the meaning behind it though.
