Updated our list now we know we are having a boy... narrowed it down to 4.

Caleb James
Evan James
Parker James
Rowan James

Surname is 2 syllables and begins with T.

Rowan is my least favourite, wanted to take it off the list but will keep it on here for now.

Evan is my favourite by far, followed by Caleb.

Not Parker, it's not a particularly nice surname and it's worse as a first name.

I only really like Rowan from your list! What don't you like about it? it's getting quite popular but it's a pretty solid timeless kind of name. Out of your other names I'd probably pick Evan.

I like Caleb and Rowan best.

Definitely won't be using James as first name, it's always been a middle name for us due to family connections/traditions.

Our favourites at the moment are Evan first, followed by Parker but staying open to other possibilities at the moment as it's only early (18 weeks)!

Or use James as first name!

Evan James

1.Evan - lesser used classic.
2/3. Caleb - lovely sound and a nice name but a bit trendy.
2/3. Rowan - as above.

  1. Parker - dislike (it's a surname or very American style name) , sorry

Love Caleb! Not keen on the rest

Evan James is by far the best. Love it.
Caleb is nice.
I don't like Parker ( nosey) or Rowan ( feminine). Sorry.
