What is Hazel’s brother called?

Due with DS next week, can’t agree on a name! DD is Hazel. Current options are James/Adam/Isaac, but I’m not set on any of them. Worried the first two are too popular and don’t want Isaac to turn into Zack! Any suggestions appreciated!

No, it’s British.

I know four people called Rowan (from toddler to 30 year old) and all are Row-as-in-row-your-boat. I don’t know any that are Row-as-in-argument.

To be fair she was suggesting that's how the tree is pronounced. Although I've never heard either pronounced that way.

Love Robin as a suggestion - keeps the woodland theme without being another tree.

Ethan popped into my head, randomly!

I've never known an Isaac shortened to Zack, and I've worked with children a long time.

I like Isaac, it's a fab name and goes nicely with Hazel. I have never heard it automatically shortened to Zack, which to me is short for Zachary.

James is one of my favourite boys names of all time but I only used it for a middle name as I didn't want ds to be Jim.

Jem would have been OK as in To Kill a Mockingbird but I worried it was too feminine here in the UK.

My mistake, although like you, I’ve never heard the tree pronounced as row-as-in-argument either

Needanewname42 · 08/05/2024 15:56

I'm with @bridgetreilly Rowan is like having a row.

Might be a Scottish thing but it would never have occurred to me that it could be like rowin' a boat

I read your title and thought "jim" then saw you were thinking of James. Could go James nn Jim/ Jimmy?

Rowan is like 'row your boat'.
