I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] the best out of the choices. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] comes out healthy!

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] is wonderful. Sending you best wishes!

I really like your names thus far (they’re all on my list) and think [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a great addition! It’s one of my favorite boy names right now. While I do like [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] with your sibset, I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] as a name.

[name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] is my favorite mn. It is admittedly cooler than [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], which evokes the purple dinosaur a little. I’m not super crazy about [name_m]Innocent[/name_m] due to it being maybe too heavy of a virtue, kind of how [name_f]Chastity[/name_f] can be. I also don’t love the flow with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

Suggestions (though I don’t think you need any):

Thanks everyone for the input :slight_smile: I think we are leaning towards [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m], the meaning of it is so perfect for us.

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] got my vote as it looks and sounds best of the three to me.

Is [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] not an option anymore though, as I would love that!

I really like innocent as a middle name but the flow doesn’t work. The an ending of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and the In beginning of [name_m]Innocent[/name_m] is choppy.
I like your other 2 options equally in terms of sound. I voted [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] because it seems you have more reasons to feel connected to it.
Good luck deciding and in the rest of your pregnancy. I hope [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] arrives healthy and happy in a few months.

I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]. My offering would be [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] (gift of God). Much good luck with baby [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

I absolutely adore the name [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]! Of the few options you listed - [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabus[/name_m] flows the best for me.

I love [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]/ [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] personally as well, I voted [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] because it just feels comfortably to me with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]! I don’t find [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] frumpy at all, I think it’s a brighter take on somewhat stuffy [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m].

I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] the best. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] all goes well for you, and that everything turns out alright!
