Twin brother for Rosalie - Theo or Rowan?

[Dielle1]

I have an Annabelle, a Dominic and a set of boy/girl twins. The girl is called Rosalie but we have been stuck on what to call her twin brother. We have it narrowed down to Theo or Rowan? What do you think?

Both lovely names, but Rosalie and Rowan have the potential to be abbreviated to Ro. For that reason Theo.

Theo.

I think I would get in a muddle trying call out Rosalie and Rowan.

Theo; agree with pp who said that two 'Ro' names might get confusing. Otherwise I would have probably plumped for Rowan.

I like both but agree with the other comments, Theo is probably the best option

Avoid both of them starting with 'Ro'.
So that leaves you with Theo.

Theo.

I really dislike matching twin names.

I really love the name Rowan, but wouldn't use it with Rosalie.

Theo and Rosalie sounds much better than Rowan and Rosalie

Another vote for Theo here. I love Rowan, but to me it is a girls' name (although I know it is used for boys!).

Theo!

Rowan is too matchy with Rosalie.

I think I different initial would be very sensible, and I like Theo

Theo, but I prefer it as a nickname for Theodore.

Theo

Theo definitely.

Not Ro Ro

Matching twin initials are beyond awful.

Also, Rowan is unisex, and the matchiness with Rosalie would REALLY make people assume cutesy girl twins.

So Theo! - which is a great name and much nicer than Rowan for a boy.

Thank you everyone. We are really struggling with this final name! Any other suggestions you have that you think go with the sibling set (and the twin set) are welcome. Although I love the name Rowan and much prefer it, Rosalie is now non-negotiable, and so I think I have to agree with you all and it will remain a middle name.

Theodore Rowan sounds like a good name, and Theo and Rosalie work together. I prefer Rosalind or Rosamund, but I like long formal names :)
