This is my 2nd girl and my other children are already Ryder (boy), Lyndon (boy), Ellison (girl).<\/p>\n<p>I am debating between Rowan and Harlow, both with the middle name Christine. Our last name is a 1 syllable common last name that start with a C.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer the name Rowan, however I am worried that it is too matchy by starting with an R like my first son\u2019s name, and ending with an -n like my other 2 kids\u2019 names. Also when I googled the name Harlow with our last name there is a romance author that has some smutty romance novels published, not a complete deal breaker but not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Please let me know if you think Rowan Christine is a complete no-go based off the other sibling names and saying them all together. If that\u2019s the case then I would switch and consider Harlow as my main choice. I\u2019m about 60\/40 at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you were equally split between Rowan and Harlow, I would vote for Harlow: I like that it introduces a new first letter and a new end-sound, and I like the way the whole sibling group sounds together.<\/p>\n<p>But since you prefer Rowan, I think you should use Rowan: in the long run, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to matter that it repeats a first letter from one name and last letter from two. And I think Rowan Christine is a smashing combination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am expecting baby #4 (a girl) end of October and cannot make up my mind on this baby\u2019s name.
