Which boy's name?

Here is our shortlist:
Hayden
Rowan
Ewan
Calvin
Devon

We are in Ireland and those names aren't very common here maybe compared to the UK. I've actually never met a Hayden, Rowan or Ewan and the only Calvin and Devon I've met were English so they're quite rare names here. Thanks in advance, our heads are wrecked. Girl's names are so much easier!

I love Rowan.

I knew a Devon. He used to get pissed off when we asked him if he knew how they made it so creamy...

Thanks mydogeatsnutstoo. Yeah Devon is my husband's favourite, can't say I love it. Hayden I like a lot but like you said, it's kind of shoved in with all the Jayden/Kayden names lately even though it's been around much longer. I love Rowan but there are so many Ronans in Ireland I think the poor kid would be forever correcting people.

Hayden or Rowan. Rowan is my favourite - I like Hayden but would worry about it being lumped with the Jayden/ Kayden type names.

The others are ok, I find Ewan a bit wet. Devon - only if you particularly like Devon!
