Our daughter`s name is Brea and we have people we don`t know pronouncing it wrong all the time. We pronounce it like the word Idea. I think Roan looks better and more unique. To me Roan and Rowan are pronounced the same the only difference might be that people would stress the w in Rowan and the o in Roan.

I agree with lovefranky, `Rowan` seems feminine. Id go with Roan.

Rowan is Gaelic meaning little red head. Roan is the variant of Rowan. It is a very rare boys name. Roan is more rare than Rowan. Both are pronounced the same as far as I know.

I think Rowan in feminine, but it would be cool for a boy spelled Roan.

Roan in my head sounds like Joan with an `R` Rowan sounds like R-ow-an. The spelling changes how it sounds to me. I`m not sure which sound you are going for.

Roan is a tree, I would spell it like the tree

  4. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  5. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  6. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  7. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  8. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  9. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  10. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
