hi berry friends 
[name_f][/name_f]
settle something between my husband and i, if you would! are elowyn and rowan too similar for siblings? 
[name_f][/name_f]
i adore rowan for either a little boy or a girl, but my husband says it’s out for him, since it basically rhymes with our daughter’s name. he isn’t opposed to another tree name, however, and suggested oakley in the place of rowan. i am a little more fond of wilder, finn, or riven. we both like ruston, but i’m not sure it matches with wyn’s name stylistically. 
[name_f][/name_f]
i’d love to hear any input and suggestions you guys might offer— we’re not planning on trying to have another little one until wynnie is at least 9 months old, but it’s always fun for us to chat about it! 🫶🏼

Personally I think El0wyn & [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] are too similar for siblings which is a shame as completely understand your love for [name_m]Rowan[/name_m]. Honestly [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] is gorgeous! Maybe as alternatives to [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] you could have [name_m]Rohan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] or [name_m]Rome[/name_m]. Still moving away from [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] you’ve got lovely choices I really like [name_m]Oakley[/name_m] with El0wyn along with [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] & [name_m]Finn[/name_m] they sound very soft, outdoorsy with a whimsy flair. I think [name_m]Ruston[/name_m] does have a slightly different vibe more cowboy but in all honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to find [name_m]Ruston[/name_m] or El0wyn in the same sibling set. Thinking of your other ideas you’ve previously discussed I think [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] & [name_m]Judah[/name_m] make gorgeous brother names especially [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m].

oh, i love that you think shepherd fits well with elowyn. that is most definitely are longest favorite, and rowan shepherd would’ve probably been my pick for rowan’s middle name. 
[name_f][/name_f]
of your other ideas, i particularly love tristan—my husband’s name, wells, callum, abel, oakes, rivers, solomon, rome, archer, forest, and cedar. oakes tristan and solomon knox were two of the names we considered if elowyn was a boy!

roland is a family name for my husband, but we’ve never considered it. he is awfully sweet and a magical with elowyn! 
I agree that Elowyn and Rowan are a bit too similar for siblings, although Rowan is such a lovely name.
Some similar names to Rowan could be Rupert, Rueben, or Rory, though they might feel a bit stylistically different.
I think both Wilder and Oakley would fit really well with Elowyn! They have a similar nature-inspired vibe without being too close.
Here are some more options that I think work well for girls and boys:
Aspen or Aster
Laike
Phoenix
Jamie
Harlow or Marlow
Darcy
Cairo
Finley
Soren
And here are some more masculine suggestions:
Reed or Reid
Hawthorne
Archer
Farley
Percy
Cassius or Caius
Griffin
Jasper
Maddox
Grayson
Wilbur
Rafferty
Hope this helps!

I don’t find [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] and [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] unusable together. The stress on the vowels is different the way I pronounce it, as well as the syllables. Perhaps you could use it as a middle name or for a potential third or forth child.
[name_f][/name_f]
I’ll suggest:

The two “win” sounds kind of bother me, I wouldn’t personally do it even though I also really like the name [name_m]Rowan[/name_m]. I like [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] and [name_m]Riven[/name_m] though.

With my accent the “wyn” and “an” don’t sound the same, but it could in (for example) an American accent. I understand the allure of [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], it’s one of those classic, timeless unisex names which I also love. I would say [name_m]Ruston[/name_m] is a tad out there, reminding me of [name_m]Rust[/name_m], but I like the nickname [name_m]Russ[/name_m].

[name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] and [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] work together, in my opinion! They are earthy, peaceful and jovial. Their endings sound distinct in my pronunciation.
[name_f][/name_f]From your list, I really like [name_m]Riven[/name_m] as an alternative. It’s very interesting. [name_m]Ruston[/name_m] is also really cool and sublime.
