Hello :)

We have about a month to go until dc2..
Our first is Ivy Beth... I love the name Rowan for a girl but wasn't sure if 2 similar names was a bit naff?? No idea for a boy, ideas welcome! Or girl ideas too if you think Rowan is horrific
Many thanks. X x x

No, doesn't sound hippyish they're both too widely used for that.

Love Rowan for either b or g

Ivy and Rowan has a nice ring about it.

Alternatives
glyn
Bryn

Romily
Fearne/fern

Don't choose Holly (the holly and the ivy... )

Rowan is lovely - We considered Rowan, Bryony and Ivy for DD but ended up with a name with family connections in the end.

I think they're fine together. I like Rowan on a girl.

Having the exact same issue here. I'm tempted to just force it through though.

I like Hazel, Birch and Larch too but probs not brave enough to use.....

Vivi perhaps just don't mention the name Fern till baby is born then declare she looks like a fern??! X
