Hi,

I'm due in a little boy in March. We already have an Isaac (if that helps)

After going through what seems like hundreds of names we have finally agreed on these two.

Rowan
Jude

I really like both, so having trouble making a desicion.

Which do you prefer and why?

Thank you mums x

I prefer Jude.

Ps Isaac is a lovely classic name. Great choice

I much prefer Jude because all the Rowan’s I know are girls. I also find Rowan too similar to Roman and that was last years’ fastest rising top 100 name (I think Roman Kemp and Roman Atwood the famous YouTuber will propel the name to top 10/20 in no time). Also similar to RoHan/RoNan etc etc
Jude is a bit more special as not so similar to other names

Rowan is lovely.

Rowan. Unless you prefer something Obscure.

Jude

I prefer Jude. I'm not really a fan of Rowan and never have been although I can't really explain why!

Mamabear88 · 06/02/2020 12:53

I prefer Jude as well.

Iwantmychairback · 06/02/2020 12:50

Jude. Love it

Jude. I think it’s less popular (though I may be wrong) and I just really love the name!
