Sibling Name for Rowan

General Name Discussion
1

[name]Hi[/name], I’m new to Nameberry but have been trawling the site for the last month or so trying to find that perfect name for my baby due in [name]August[/name] 2013. We don’t know the gender yet, and won’t find out for another while, if at all before the baby is born. My husband and I are looking for something that will go with our daughters’ name [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Gladys[/name]. So far, we have narrowed down the boys names to one that we fell in love with that would go;

[name]Asher[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Harold[/name]

We’re having a bit of trouble falling in love with a girls name though. So far we have;

[name]Rosalie[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name] (I like [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Petal[/name] because the petal honours my grandmothers’ maiden name. Hubby doesn’t quite like it)
[name]Annabel[/name]

Any suggestions for boy or girl would be much appreciated!

The girls names you’re considering for baby #2 seem a lot more frilly or girly than [name]Rowan[/name], so I don’t think they are the best sibset matches. I would eliminate [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosalie[/name] because of its similar beginning to [name]Rowan[/name] as well. [name]Asher[/name] is nms, but I think it works well with [name]Rowan[/name].

[name]Rowan[/name] is darling, and I love her with [name]Asher[/name]. However; I’m not really liking the girls names. [name]Rowan[/name] is a more masculine leaning unisex name so I feel like her sister would need something a little more grounded. [name]Annabel[/name] is just a bit too frilly, and [name]Rosalie[/name] is a good option but the [name]Ro[/name]/[name]Ro[/name] thing could get confusing. [name]Annalie[/name] [name]Petal[/name] (or [name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Petal[/name]) could be cute though. Some other ideas:
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Brighid[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Kiera[/name] / [name]Ciara[/name]
[name]Keeva[/name] / [name]Caoimhe[/name]
