[FirmBottom]

i am currently expecting a little boy and i like the names rowan or river to go with my little girl willow. dp thinks rowan is a bit girly and river too american. what do you think?

Love Asher.

Winter

I know a little boy called Sennan (after Sennan Cove in Cornwall). I think its sweet and unusual

Sol

Brook
Herbie
Eden
John

how about

Ace
Acer
Eden
Hudson
Zen
Ryder
Harley
Rock
Zane
Griffin
Brae
Loki

Tilly, i know a Sennen who's a girl named after the same cove.

I was toying with Rock, just because I love the idea of a litte Rocky. Can't stand boxing though... do you think the association would be a problem at school?

For the OP, Heath would fit so well with Willow. And Rowan and Robin are also on my list. All lovely.

Piper
Sedge
Flax
Peregrine

A friend who works at a bird sanctuary has named his kid Kestrel, Kes for short.

my friend has a little boy called Rohan - pronounced the same as Rowan but a more contemporary spelling

I know of a Rourke (I think that's the spelling) and Roan. Like them both.

Woody?

how about Zephyr

I'm quite fond of Peregrine as I used to have a rat called it. I'm afraid that I don't like lots of the names being suggested on here though - not that my opinion matters a jot of course! :)

Friends of mine have a little boy called Brook, which might be an alternative to River.

Asa- Hebrew, ?healer"

Elwyn - English "Friend of elves" / Welsh "bright"

Enki- Sumerian, ?lord of the earth?, god of water and wisdom

Flint

Indigo

Torin - thunder / chief

Zen

thanks for your ideas everyone. childbirth is going to be a doddle compared with the stressof finding a name we all like. why do his dad and sister get to have an opinion anyway dammit? i may just call him thing

"why do his dad and sister get to have an opinion anyway dammit?" well, they don't do they. It's your baby and the name is upto you and your DP only. If anyone asks just tell them you've both settled on a name and its Adolf and no, you won't be talked out of it. When DS arrives and you give it a lovely name they will be thrilled.
