Rowan Decaris Potter! So crazy we are finally sharing her name! Now, some may be wondering where her name comes from, and especially her middle name (we made it up).
Long before we were married, we knew we wanted our children to have Irish names, as a nod to my husband's heritage. We heard the name Rowan and we fell in love with it. To be fair, we researched plenty of other names, but the name that we kept going back to was Rowan. We would call her Rowan (at that time just between us obvi) and it just felt right. We tested out other names, but it just didn't feel the same. I wanted to of course know if it had significant meaning. In doing some research, we found:
The name Rowan is a Irish Gaelic baby name. In Gaelic the meaning of the name Rowan is little red head.
I thought that was literally the cutest darn thing I ever heard. Now, the chances of our Rowan being a true red head may be slim to none, lol!
Now for Decaris. I am sure there are people who think it might sound weird (people seem very opinionated about baby names) but this name holds so much special meaning to hubs and I.
When we were thinking of names, we wanted to somehow honor Shannon's parents and my dad. We wanted her to have a piece of them wherever she went. So, we took parts of their names:
De for Delores, Car for Carlos, Is for Dennis = Decaris
We feel very happy and proud of her unique middle name, and its significance. We feel so happy that our beautiful girl will carry a legacy of 3 amazing people in her middle name.
Well, there you have it folks! I am so excited that in just a short amount of time, we will get to hold our precious Rowan Decaris!
