Sibling for Rowan?

DD is Rowan, and DC2 is due imminently.

DH and I are really struggling to come up with names - any suggestions?

We love DD's name, especially the nature-y side of it and the mythology that surrounds it. We'd like to give DC2 a name that lives up to this too, but we're really stuck!

Any suggestions? (NO idea if it's a boy or a girl!)

DP's sister is named Rowen, he's Tom.

My first thought was Freya. Or how about Faye?

Morven would go beautifully for a sister. There's an area of scotland called morven, so another quite wild naturey name.

Possible sound a little too similar with the en/an ending.

The Rohan I know (boy) pronounced the same as Rowan....has brothers called Alex, Tim and a sister called Kate

Love Literary suggestion of Merlin...! Outstanding.

Wow thanks everyone! Some brilliant suggestions on here!

Top of the list at the moment is Torin, Merlin is one we have talked about and both really like but it might be a bit too "out there" to use... Morven is great, too.

I have a Rowan too :)
Another DD might be Linnet or Robyn.
DS would be much more ordinary - Michael or Edward.
