Thoughts on your kids having (unintentional) rhyming names? We're considering Rowan, when we already have an Owen. We loved the name until we realized it rhymes 🥲

I think it would be confusing for everyone and you might mistakenly use the wrong name more often. We thought a lot about how the sibling name sounded with the new baby’s name.

Yeahhhh.... that was our concern.... sigh. No wonder we liked it, it's so similar to what we already picked lol

That’s not rhyming names, that’s the same name with an R 🙈 I wouldn’t do it

Right but most times you’re going to be hearing it, not seeing it.

I agree with the other commenters - too similar - and I understand the struggle. We named my oldest our two favorite boy names and then became pregnant with a second boy. A few suggestions - try chat GPT and ask for a list of names that have things you like or are similar to what you like, and work with Owen as the sibling. Another suggestion is to download the app Babyname - it’s like tinder but for baby names, where you and your husband both like or reject names, and you compile a list of names you both swipe right on.

Oh that's cool! I'll have to see if he's willing to download that

Sorry, I wouldn’t do it. I think how siblings’ names sound together is important

Agreed with others. Rowan is cute tho! What about Roman? Slightly different but similar sound. Or Aiden, Rory, Finn for other Irish names. Im on my third boy so I know the naming struggle. Good luck!

Not a fan of Roman unfortunately. Yes we combined our 2 top names for first/ middle name on baby #1, so baby #2 had been tough

Everyone's naming roman right now and rowan is pretty similar so nothing lost there. I know some very similar named siblings and it is very confusing but its your family so who cares if others are confused. Potential benefit of close sounding names is that when you call one both might respond! Saves breath time lol

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
