this is supposed to be matt's responsibility--and i know he will stubbornly refuse my ideas!--but somehow, a name wormed it's sneaky little way into my head today and now it IS the boy name. kinda like lily fell from the sky. damnit!
i was listening to some goofball new age radio station on itunes and when i looked at the title of a really pretty song, there it was. Rowan. best part is, it was on my list already (just like lily) but it didn't hit me until now.
*sigh* i know matt will hate it. but it is the name. rowan matthew. yep.
i kinda like how they are both plant names :). but really, a taurus named after a tree is very appropriate. and if you look up rowan in the celtic tree signs you get this:
---
"the thinker"
Celtic tree astrology recognizes Rowan signs as the philosophical minds within the zodiac. If you were born under the Rowan energy, you are likely a keen-minded visionary, with high ideals. Your thoughts are original and creative, so much so, that other’s often misunderstand from where you are coming. This sometimes makes you aloof when interacting with others as you feel they wouldn’t understand where you are coming from anyway. Nevertheless, although you may appear to have a cool exterior, you are burning within from your passionate ideals. This inner passion provides inner motivation for you as you make your way through life. You have a natural ability to transform situations and people around you by your mere presence. You are highly influential in a quiet way and others look to you for your unique perspectives.
