I really like the names on your list!
Especially Ivo, I know a very nice elderly man with that name.

DameEtna · 04/09/2023 22:20

I like all your names apart from Lunaria - that sounds made up and a mash up of Luna and Aria.

How about Tansy for a girl?

BlueChampagne · 05/09/2023 10:56

While Lunaria is the botanical name for Honesty, I agree with PP that it sounds made up. This may or may not bother you!

How about Lindsay?

DuchessOfSausage · 05/09/2023 11:05

Willow - doesn't flow with the surname
Hazel - Rowan and Hazel sounds a bit like a hedge
Iris - nice
Lunaria - no

Ash - another tree. see Hazel
Ivo -not sure it flows with the surname
Silas - ok

Haha, we actively would be happy with two tree names. Not to everyone's taste I know, but it is to ours :)

Ashleigh for sister, Ashley for brother.

cherryassam · 05/09/2023 13:08

I think Hazel goes really nicely with both Rowan and your surname. Ivo is a lovely name but I do struggle a little with the o going in to the E of your surname. I don’t think of Silas as a nature name but it is lovely.

I have a Rowan and Joshua (named after the Joshua Tree)

if we had a 3rd boy- Lindon, Darwin or Sylvan.

but we are having a girl- and it’s hard to choose.

I love Lillian.
Bryony and Edith also options (Edith is a stunning rose)
I won’t choose but I also like:
Ellory, Sylvia, Elowen, Ayla, Florence,
