HelpBirth Announcement
Hi Everyone,
I found this website when I was a kid in 2004, and used to post often. I haven't been on much in the last few years, but I wanted to share the recent birth of my daughter.
Elowyn Sitara was born on May 31st.
Other names we considered were Rosamund, Tamsin, Sanna, Luna, Willow, and Arwen. I prefer the traditional spelling Elowen, but Elowyn was a compromise with my husband to find a name we could agree on.
Elowyn is honoring some of my mixed European ancestry, and Sitara is in honor of my husband's Indian heritage. Both have nature meanings, which is important to me.
Baby is doing very well!

Congratulations! Elowyn Sitara is beautiful :)
Congratulations on your baby girl and what a lovely name you chose for her. Elowyn is so pretty.
Welcome back! And a very warm welcome to Elowyn Sitara - what a lovely name. Should she ever have a sister, I do recommend Rosamund!
Congratulations! Elowyn Sitara is a beautiful name. Good to hear she is doing well, I hope you are as well. I remember your posting name, I also joined in 2004.
Congratulations! Beautiful name she has and I love the other names you were considering. Best wishes to you and your family.
congrats. great name, almost sounds high fantasy
What a lovely name!
Congratulations on you baby girl! Elowyn Sitara is a gorgeous name.
Congratulations on your new daughter. Very pretty name and some lovely runners up
Congratulations! It's a lovely name! Keep the "runner-up" names in case you ever have another daughter. They're lovely as well and they'd make a great sibset.
I remember you.
Congratulations! Wonderful.
Beautiful name.
Can I ask how you are pronouncing Elowyn?

I was attempting to use the more traditional pronunciation, el-O-wen, but it was difficult for people here to pronounce. Mostly, we've been saying EL-o-wyn. I think the accent here makes el-O-wen and EL-o-wyn sound very similar.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I think it can work to have two or more pronunciations. My sister's name is like that. People may read it different ways, but they're hardly ever really "wrong." I like your attitude about it!

Congrats to you and your family.
Congrats and best of luck to you! It's a lovely name, and "elm tree star" is such a pretty meaning :)
Congratulations! The combination is lovely.
