I’m biased as it was on my list if I’d had a boy, so yes, go for it Smile

Rowan is a lovely name and I prefer it for a boy than for a girl. However, it's become popular for girls so you might get some people coming along to say it's "wet" or similar, but you should try and ignore them!

fab name but sounds quite close to Aaron?

Gorgeous name.

Love it, was my first choice but I had a girl. Prefer it as a boys name. I don't know any in real life which is always a bonus!

Great name.

I love love love it!

The only Rowan I know is a boy, and I really like it

We had a couple of girls called Rowan at school so I always think of it as a girl's name.

What about:
Max
Eddie
Finn

Rowan Atkinson - very clever, very very funny man. Love the name.

Leo is nice, but there's two just in DH's family!
