Which name?

[CaitlinEJ]

Ines Maya
Rowan Maya

Rowan is lovely

Ines is fab, though I'm not too keen on Maya.

Rowan

I like both Ines and Rowan, although they have quite a different feel from each other. Shouldn’t Ines have an accent over it depending on if you want the French or Spanish pronunciation?

I love Ines. Not keen on Rowan at all.

Is this for a girl (because of the Maya) because to me both of those sound like boys names if that bothers you.

Although I may be pronouncing Ines incorrectly.

Is Rowan Ines an option?

Depends what sort of name you're after and if popularity is a factor for you @CaitlinEJ

Because I don't know any babies called Ines but I know about 10 babies called either RoWan or RoMan born in the past year or two. And that's reflected in the official statistics.

Ines is outside the top 600 names and there were only 61 babies named Ines in 2019 (the most recent year we have official statistics for from ONS). Rowan on the other hand is rising fast up the top 100 and there were over 800 baby girls or boys named Rowan in 2019. By the time the 2020 statistics are released it will have risen higher and Roman with an M is the fastest rising boy name, it's risen hundreds of places to number 59 in the charts in 2019. It'll be top 30-40 next year and on current trajectory may well be top 20 in next few years.
I think Ines is likely to get more popular but it's no where near the abundance-y of Rowan yet. I find Rowan, Roman etc a bit overdone.

Love Ines!

So underused. Like Rowan too but too many of them. Maya is a bit dull - so many of them - Maria or Marina maybe?

Ines is lovely. Perfect combination of being familiar but not overdone
Rowan is the opposite of that now, it's a nice enough name but there's a lot of Roman and Rowans being born in the past couple of years. They merge into one now there's a lot of them and that takes the shine off. I also don't like nickname Row

Ines Maya

Maya is definitely the middle name, a family name to honor my sister and it doesn’t work with the twins name (Nina)

Love ines. I hadn't thought of it when I had my dd but I always think if I had another (which I won't be!) it would definitely be on my list.

You can't have Ines and Nina. That sounds a bit mad.

Both are lovely. Ines is my preference. I think it's really nice having Maya as a middle name as it's unusual in that position and it's a pretty name.

Ines

Fauvist Just curious as to why you think that. To be honest I’m not too bothered about how their names sound together as they’re individual people, as long as it it’s too much of a mouthful as I will probably be saying them together a lot.

I think they are both a bit boyish sounding too, tbh, I appreciate it's not exactly the same but Innes is a popular boy's name here and Rowan I wouldn't know if it was a boy or girl. I also agree that Ines and Nina are a mouthful together...

Maya is lovely. What is Nina's middle name?

Nina and Ines sound lovely together.
Rowan is far more common than Nina numbers-wise so might feel like more of an after-thought trendy twin name option in comparison. I'd feel a bit short changed if my name was top 100 and my twins was more unsual. Whereas Ines feels more special to me, same as Nina.

Ines because Rowan is a boy's name and it bugs me when boys names become unusable because they are given to lots of girls.

Ines is very lovely. Rowan is a boys name to me but I know it isn't always.

I love Ines. Really not keen on Rowan

Really don't like rowan, I'm not a huge fan of maya either but obviously that's non negotiable but out of curiosity how you planning on pronouncing it? So I would go with Ines. Love nina by the way

Absolutely love Rowan, it would be in my top names if I was having a girl
