I prefer to avoid trendy names - Rowan (DD's name) is much less common over here than it is on MDC! - but I really love the name. So, I'm not sure what's going to happen.
Other possibilities include Miles, Lachlan (although, amazingly, that's pretty common here too!)... I quite like Fynn, but I suspect I might go off it in a few months... DH thinks Linden is too girly... I like L-names, because I think it's a gentle sound without being "girly". (I know, I'm weird.) So - anyone have any awesome, preferably Anglo-Saxon or Celtic-derived boys' names starting with L, other than Liam, Lachlan and Linden?
Our girl's name, which we may well have changed before the time came, was Katie Rose - well, Katherine Rose, but I liked the idea of calling her Katie Rose in everyday life. Not hyphenated, though, so I dunno if the Rose would have stuck. I thought it was pretty, though.
So if anyone here wants it - !
