Hi,

So pretty sure baby is going to be one of these. I love them both, and really cant decide.

Just wondering which you prefer?
And how many children do you know with these names?

Hopefully may help me to choose. If you don't like either just say which you prefer please!

Thanks so much for the help xx

I know one Sonny and no Rowans.

I prefer Rowan - nice name.

I love the name Sonny!

I quite like Sonny.
I know both male and female Rowans but I think it works better on the girls.

Out of those two, Rowan. To me, Sonny is a nickname for a little boy. It would feel odd to me to address a grown man I wasn't related to as 'Sonny'.

I know one female Rowan and a male Sonny.

I am not keen on the name Sonny.

Rowan is the best. Sonny is just awful on anyone over 5.

The only Rowan I know is a girl. Sorry, but Sonny is more of a nickname surely? Can you imagine a judge named Sonny?

I’m not keen on Rowan for a boy, but it’s miles better than Sonny. I only know female Rowans - two of them.
