Names like Rowan for girls

20 replies

JenniPenny88 · 04/05/2012 21:40

Our dd1 is called Rowan and we are struggling to find names which "go" with it as dh tends to prefer "girlier" names along the lines of Elsie, Arianne, Elodie... Not really sure how we ended up with Rowan last time tbh! Haha!
Any suggestions on names that aren't too girly, and go with Rowan, but that might appeal to dh's taste?!?!
Any help much appreciated :)

Ooh I love all these names, you are all picking some of my real favourites. Rowan is a beautiful name for a girl. I also agree that Willow and Hebe go really well with Rowan, but how about:

Heather

Juno

Elsa

Isis or Iris

Saffron

Daphne

Delphi

Lara

Marnie

Willow also goes well - but you might have people thinking you are a witch

sashh · 05/05/2012 05:29

I know a Rowan, her siter is Merriel

jade80 · 05/05/2012 01:47

Bryony or Hazel.

EllenParsons · 05/05/2012 01:41

Not "similar" as such but I think these names go well with Rowan:

Harriet
Tamsin
Carys
Kate
Nina

poppy283 · 04/05/2012 22:27

Would Willow be too many trees? Probably. How about Tamsin or Honor or Phoebe.

I think names that don't end in ee, and are strong, yet feminine will work nicely.

My favourite would be Rowan and Elena

FashionEaster · 04/05/2012 21:41

Robyn would be too similar, but I like Hebe.
