I like Hudson and Jonah but I really don’t like Rowan.

Chaoslatte · 14/04/2022 14:21

Jonah! I don’t like Hudson and prefer Rowan for a girl.

Jonah is nice.

I think more people expect Rowan to be a girl, I have not met a boy Rowan for a long time.

Hudson is just a flat no.

Pemba · 14/04/2022 14:07

Jonah is nice.
Rowan is fine, but a bit ambiguous as can be a girl's name. Also has different pronunciations.

Hudson is very obviously a surname. Hud's son. I dislike surnames for first names. Also a big cold slightly scary river in North America. It's faddy at the moment,but not an attractive name.

Jonah, then Rowan, then Hudson. I like both Jonah and Rowan but dislike Hudson.

Thehundredthnamechange · 14/04/2022 13:59

LOVE Jonah

Aorh · 14/04/2022 11:06

Jonah and Rowan - perfectly nice names.

Hudson - really dislike

SickAndTiredAgain · 14/04/2022 10:47

Definitely not Hudson.

Fivebeanchilli · 14/04/2022 10:44

Jonah by miles (although Jonas is nicer).
Rowan is ok but relatively popular.
Hudson is awful, sorry.

Hummingbirdcake · 14/04/2022 10:34

Jonah.

CalonPinc · 14/04/2022 10:32

Rowan, by a country mile.

Hudson is kind of clunky, and Hud as the inevitable shortening is even clunkier.

AuntieStella · 14/04/2022 10:32

Rowan

Redmountain356 · 14/04/2022 10:25

Jonah or Rowan

bombombo · 14/04/2022 09:11

Rowan.

FayCarew · 14/04/2022 09:09

They're quite different

Rowan - too many R names popular right now. Lots of Rowan, Roman, Rory, Reuben names. It's ok otherwise

Jonah - not keen

Hudson - it's a surname. Would you name a DS Hughes?

JemimaTiggywinkle · 14/04/2022 09:08

Jonah is nice

Rowan also nice, but can be unisex if that’s something that bothers you.

Hudson - really don’t like it. Very different type compared to your other name choices. This is more the Jayden/ Kayden/Jaxon genre to me.

romdowa · 14/04/2022 09:07

Jonah or rowan , definitely not Hudson

SoupDragon · 14/04/2022 09:04

Hudson is awful.

AnnaSW1 · 14/04/2022 09:02

Instant thought is I don't like any of them.

ModerationInEverything · 14/04/2022 09:00

Jonah is lovely.

lljkk · 14/04/2022 08:57

They don't go together in my mind so am curious how you would describe your name taste. Jonah > Rowan > Hudson, but none terrible.
