We have recently found out we are having a boy and have struggled with boy names!

We already have a boy called Oakley

Our top 3 at the minute are ...
Harlan
Rohan (pronounced the irish way, roh-an)
Harlow

I'm not as keen on Harlow as I worry it's a little toooooo feminine but my OH really likes it.

As you can tell we tend to go for unisex names! I like names that aren't too common but also aren't completely weird! (Oakley wasn't as popular as it is now when we named our first 🙄!) Also like names that I can shorten when we're at home (Harley/Harls, Ro)

Thank you!

I meant Roman and Rowan, not Rowan and Rowan.

I think i'd tend towards Harlan, because Rohan is a clothing company and the Rohan/Roman/Rowans all blend into one

Sorry not to my taste, Rohan is ok but somehow doesn’t go with Oakley as well. How about

marlow
parker
quinn
dylan
fletcher
hudson
rowan
roman

Rowan

Of your list, Rohan, but Rowan and Rowan (and Reuben, Rory etc are very popular right now)

Harlan is not a name I am familiar with. Seems too close to Harlem.

As for Harlow, have you ever been there?
