I love both the girls’ name [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and the boys’ name [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but I think they sound too similar to both be used in a sibset. Which you do all prefer, [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]?
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Well, I may prefer [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] slightly more than [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but I for sure like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] better than [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I just can’t get past the creepy movie association. [name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] are all super sweet. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is very handsome though. It’s not terribly common, but that style of two syllable boy names that end in ‘n’ (and often Gaelic) is sort of popular.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
To me [name_f]Rose[/name_f]-based choice is much more classic, and will come off as more timeless in the long run. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is nice, but very dated to me.
I like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] better than [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (just because [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is quickly gaining lots of popularity) but I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] more than the full name [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] seems too dated for me.
Maybe [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] if you don’t like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] by itself?
