Lovely baby boy Is now here! The trouble is I seem to find myself disliking all the names we had on the shortlist now....

I love the name Rowan but we already have a Rose- is this too similar? If it is too similar what on earth else do we call him?!

Like Jude but husband has vetoed. He likes Fraser- would thus be strange without Scottish connections? Keir and Joseph were also on shortlist. Here he is....

I actually think Rowan is fine alongside Rose. If you like it, I'd stick with it.

Rowan is a bit too similar to Rose.

How about Rory instead?

BikeRunSki · 29/10/2017 17:22

A bit too similar.

Amos?

LizzieMacQueen · 29/10/2017 17:20

How about Ewan/Euan?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/10/2017 17:20

Yes they are too similar IMO.
Can we see a pic of him to see what would suit him and obviously as an excuse to see the new squishy gorgeous man in your lifeGrin

Congratulations!

I think Rowan and Rose are OK together. What else was on the shortlist?
