Help needed, Baby boy name, which do you prefer?

[Lisajg23]

Hi,

We are having trouble deciding, Which name for our baby boy do you like best and goes well with siblings names please?

Flynn
Rowan/Rohan

(Siblings are Isaac and Neve)

Thank you x

I personally love Flynn!

Blake?

I really love Flynn too ❤️

@Leopardprintboots

He is quick to say no to all of my suggestions but all he has offered is Brodie, sonny or river.

There nice enough names but there are others I like more. We thought we would have a girl, so had agreed on a girls name but not on a boys. I think boys names are so hard! x

💙

Thanks x

@Lavenderblues

Thank You, yes did also consider Quinn X

Yes! Ruari is awesome. You should call him that, the one I know is handsome and kind

@Pinkblueberry
I only know girl Rowans no boys.

Rhuaridh is the correct Gaelic spelling,
roo-ray, means red haired king 🙂

❤️ Rohan.

Or to go with Neve, maybe Fionn or Ronan?

@AngelaDevon
Thank You, I do like it think I may flip a coin soon 🙈 x

@HarebellsAndHollyberries

Thank You, Ronan is nice too. And probably less popular. X

I really like Sonny, Brodie and River that your DH has suggested (appreciate your don’t thought).

In terms of numbers:

Brodie there were 269 babies born last year with this name - it’s number 196 on the name charts

River there were 292 babies born last year with that name - it’s number 181 in the name charts

Sonny there were 640 babies born with that name last year - it’s number 99 in the name charts

Rowan/Roman/Rohan there were over 2,000 babies with those names last year, so they are the most popular on your list and are on the increase still

You said you like Kieran but that that name had been vetoed - how about “Keir”. If your DH likes Brodie - how about “Bodhi”? Or Blake?

How about “Kit”? Or “Felix”?

I still like the suggestion of Flynn Rohan though ❤️*@Lisajg23*

If I saw a child with the first name spelt “Rohan” I would assume the child and parents were Indian or Asian but I think it’s a good middle name

Rowan.

Flynn's awful. Sorry.

Yes RoNan is much less popular. Only 130 babies given this name last year. Number 350 in the name charts. I think it’s similarity to the v popular Roman would put me off using it as people will mishear it and assume they heard “Roman” as it’s becoming so popular after so many famous Roman’s appeared into public eye in last 2 years

What was your girls name that you had sorted out of interest @Lisajg23

Both lovely but I think Flynn. What about Fynn? Rufus? Oscar?

Brodie has a totally different feel to your names to me. Doesn't suit at all. Same with Sonny to be honest.

@leopardprintboots

Well me had three, Talia, Taya or Sadie.
Dh liked talia best so we were probably going to go with that.

I wasn't keen on Brodie, although Scottish it sounds American to me.

I do like sonny, but quite a few in school i know of. Also was unsure it would suit a man. Very cute for little boy.

River I don't mind but I don't think it goes with Isaac and Neve at all.
I don't actually know of any Rowans at my son's school but I'm sure there will be some soon x

@Lisajg23 ah those are gorgeous girls names. I particularly love Sadie. The other two names are pretty rare, ive never heard them before. They’re lovely.

Yes Sonny is more popular than most of your other choices (at no 99) so I’m not surprised that there’s a few you know already. Although Sonny is actually less popular than Rowan and is climbing less quickly up the charts so I’d factor that in to your choice.

Tricky one.

I love the name talia. I honestly think Ronan is a good alternative to Rowan as it less popular, it fits with Isaac and neve and as much as i like the name Rowan the only two i know (other than the actor) are female

Ronan flynn sounds great 😊

For what it’s worth I actually think River, Isaac and Neve actually work well together. I know they’re different styles of name but I like that. It’ll be rare as they get older that you’ll say the names all together that often anyway

How about Silas? That’s a very old traditional name like Isaac and is outside the top 100

Will keep thinking.

@leopardprintboots

Ahh thank You, sadly I will never get to use them. As this will be our last baby, Sadie is very cute and means princess in Hebrew 💖

Im a indecisive person anyway, but after the shock of an emergency c section after normal births and a boy! I seem to have become even more indecisive and scatter brained than usual!

What do you think of xander/zander, it has been thrown around, after my dad alexander. My mun would be delighted. But i wouldnt want alex though.

thanks for your help x

@Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav

Ronan Flynn does sound nice!

Mmm river, I will give it some thought. I thought it was too hippy to go with the other names that are quite traditional really. Not sure about silas.

I know, I do love talia, but alas it wasn't meant to be, no more babies for me x
