Hi everyone

Am 38+2 and having a bit of a dilemma with girls' names. We had settled on Ivy if we have a girl but I have just seen a discussion on mn where most have said they are not keen on it or made the link with Poison Ivy!

Very new to mn and don't know how to create a poll so if you could just give me your thoughts on the following combinations I would be very grateful. We already have a son, Elliot. I also like Rowan, but not sure about using it because it is unisex and don't want her to be addressed as Mr!

Thanks! xxx

Ivy Rowan
Rowan Olivia
Olivia Rowan

Or any others you would like to suggest - still open to new names!

I really like Rowan, and I don't think there should be a problem with being addressed as a man. Loads of names are unisex - there's a female Elliot in Scrubs!!

I think Olivia's a bit dull, and I much prefer Ivy. Have you thought about spelling it Ivie? Less obvious link to poison/old ladies/dinnerladies.

My vote goes to Rowan Ivie.

I'm not too keen on Ivy Rowan because I just think that two 'nature' names together is a bit much.

I like both Rowan Olivia and Olivia Rowan though! Or how about Olivia Ivy? Or maybe Olivia Iris?

Personally I am not keen on Ivy, but it is not my decision it is yours, if you like it, go for it.

I like Susannah Rowan

or Lucy Rowan
