Another Name Thread!

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
So we have our name picked out if we are having a boy-- Rowan Samuel, but we are having a hard time coming up with a girl's name. We would like something Irish/Celtic/Scottish sounding, something very feminine, and not too popular. The middle name will be Sable, after DH's Grandma. Our DS's name is Liam Aaron. Any suggestions?

Yes I like Rowan Sable for a girl!
It was the main character (a woman) in Anne Rice's series The Witching Hour.
