Hiii, I could really use some help deciding a name for baby #2.
We've been TTCing for over a year now but the topic of baby names never came up until last night... We struggled to pick a name for our son Rowan, we have different taste in names i.g. I wanted him Kaiser, he wanted Finley. If our son was a girl I wanted Aurora or Octavia he wanted Penelope or Alexis. Very different indeed 😅

Anyways I mentioned a few names that I've newly fallen in love with;

Fraser // Oh doesn't like.
Grayson // Oh said was decent.
Tobias // Oh not a fan.
Kieran // Oh not a fan.

He likes;

Rory // I though was nice but doesn't sound right.
Henry // Not a fan.
Georgie // again not a fan.
Wren // I like better as a girl name.

Anyone got any suggestions that complement our older son's name.
We've already decided the girl's name will be either Haven or Astrid.

Of the girls names I prefer Astrid. Haven is a holiday company.

Rowan is lovely
Astrid is lovely

Rory is lovely - but Rowan and Rory a bit twinny. Nathan, Leon, Jesse, Jude, Jethro, Patrick, Laurence nn Laurie, Guy, Zachary nn Zach, Jerome, Stellan, Kester, Ivor, Oscar, Louis

Please don’t call your daughter Haven, it sounds like a cheap caravan park, or an old people’s home. It’s not a name.

First off, Astrid for a girl - Haven isn't a name, which maybe doesn't matter so much, but it sounds truly awful.

I like Grayson.
Hunter
Alexander
Jason
Logan
Asher
Xavier

I don't like Wren for a boy either.

Love the name Reid it oh isn't a fan 😅
Clark and Logan are definitely on the list 🥰
Love archer aswell and so does oh but unfortunately my sister laid claims to that name when I was pregnant with Rowan as it's the only boy name her and her husband can agree on 😂
