What do you think?

Name if it's a girl would be Erin Sheila D...

Sheila after my mum who died recently.

I know twins Erin and Lois and they are lovely...your names sound good together too!!!

Erin is my niece's name, I would have had it for my dd if my sil hadn't got in there 9 months earlier

I like it too. It will be hard to shorten.

TrinityRhinoHasASillyStepson · 17/07/2009 13:45

tis a lovely name

OrmIrian · 17/07/2009 13:46

Like.

Gah - DF has said he doesn't like it. It is, according to him, a bit unusual(WTF????). He perfers Roan(which isn't unusual at all [HMM]), which i like, but not as much as Erin. Methinks i will have to work on him....

Roan is god damn awful (sorry to the parents of any out there)

Love Erin, it's what dc1 would have been if had been a girl. Now pg again but can't have an Erin and an Evin unfortunately! I actually like Roan too (poss spelt Rowan). Both lovely names

I love the name Erin, pretty, unusual, elfin-like, good associations, nice.

pranma · 17/07/2009 20:04

Isnt Roan actually either Rowan or Rohan?Roan is the colour of a horse and is pronounced rohn[I think]
I like Rowan for a boy or Erin for a girl though I think Rowan could be unisex

devientenigma · 17/07/2009 20:25

My 18 yo stepdaughter is Erin and I know a girl called Rowan.

Bloody Men!!

The real reason he's vetoed Erin is because it reminds him of Erin Brockovitch, the film with Julia Roberts and he's always had a thing for her And apparently it'd feel weird calling a child after an object of lust..

I'm not quite sure what to say to that!!!
