Another tree name?

What about Willow?

BroomstickOfLove · 14/11/2016 20:25

I came on to say Rowan.

Julian, like in Julian of Norwich?

I don't really like most other unisex names, so I'd probably go for a sort of made up plant or animal name like Kestrel or Finch or Larch.

We have a Rowan tree for our loss.

Sorry to hear of your loss and sending much love to you.

Other nature names at work well? River, Fern, Wren, Jay?

I was going to say Rowan too. How about Kieran? I used to work with a woman called Kieran so pretty sure it's unisex.

I have a unisex name and I wouldnt recommend it. All your kids life they'll have to tell people whether they are male or female and how to spell their name. I work internationally and always get confusion when I show up as they generally expect a man with my name in Africa. It's annoying

Oh im so sorryto hear that Flowers I actually prefer Rowan but you said no Rowan

I have known a couple of female Jamess, one is quite well known in certain circles. I think it is a lovely name.

I love the way Rowan and Robin sound :) it's for an angel baby, but we were unsure on sex, same with Rowan.

I don't accept James as unisex.
