Roah?

[Yawninghippo]

It's a name I read in a book years ago but always liked. For a girl. Just me?

Morgana the Fay is the witch from Arthurian legend, hence my earlier comment.

Ah that makes sense!

agadoo!!! Thank you! The book I read it in was a book called 'The Third Witch' written from a different viewpoint regarding Shakespeare's Macbeth. Very Scottish! That's how I imagined it being pronounced properly but knew I'd make the end more of a 'ah'.

Raines I'm not that much of a King Arthur legend fan, my GM maiden name was Morgan so I've always had Morgana in my head to potentially honour her. I do like a lot of legendary type names though.

I'm not keen on Roah but I do like Rowenna and Morgana. I also like Rhea and Ria!

I really love more unusual names for DCs, but I am sorry, this is dreadful

What about Rohey instead - pronounced "Roar Hee" similar, but much nicer IMHO

Nice idea to name your child after the noise you made when he/she was crowning.

It is a nice name I think, but I'm afraid scooby do was my first thought too.
What about Morvern? Or Morwenna?
Rowenna is a lovely name, and rowan trees are reputed to have magical properties if that helps? A very myffic tree :)

Yy to Rownenna - or even Rowen / Rowan

Yvaine I've had all CS so no idea what I might sound like but that did make me laugh.

In the almost 5 years since I've had a DC I must have lost my, albeit very odd and unusual, taste in baby names! I genuinely thought it was quite pretty! DP quite likes it too, perhaps I'll keep it as 'that name in that book I always loved and never actually got round to using but I'll remember it every year or so when I reread the book and start appreciating it again!' Seems a plan!

Rowan would seem like a good solution!

No, it's dreadful.

It would make me think you were struggling with the spelling of Roar or Noah. Roah is not a name.

Rowan, Rhona or Ria are perfectly acceptable though.

I saw it first as hoar, and had to do a double take...

I did also find it on a naming website, but for a boy. I still like it and would still use it if I thought it suited. If I can get away with having a 'Butterfly', I'm sure I could get away with this!

I'll keep looking and see if anything else grabs me, problem is I really like names that either no one has heard of or that no one else would often think to use!

googled Roah and this came up

Looks like a typo. What about Rowan?

what about papillon (French for Butterfly)

farfalla - this is better, its Butterfly in Italian, it looks more like a name :)

Papillon would make me think of the breed of dog.

Tell me you haven't inflicted a child with the name Butterfly? My mate's middle name is Rainbow because of hippy parents. She hates it.

Don't like Roah, but Rowan and Rowena or Rowenna are lovely.

What about Radigan? It's a female Saint's name

Morgana is pretty

I know farfalla is Italian for butterfly but I imagine years of explaining to people it is not a type of pasta

Rowenna is the best of the bunch suggested so far for me.

Yep, my 4 year old's name is Butterfly. Technically her middle name, first name Octavia, but she's been Butterfly from birth due to her older sister choosing it and refusing to call her anything else. She now also refuses to call herself anything but Butterfly. Suits her perfectly, wish I'd just called her it in the first place.

My eldest's middle name is Akita after the breed of dog actually, my favourite breed, but thought it made a pretty name, she also loves it.

Sorry, it sounds like Noah and Rowan bought a house together and named the house "Roah"
