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

Flynn

Flynn River [surname]

@PandasMum

Thank you for the info x

Flynn is on a downward trajectory and there was only around 200 babies named Flynn last year. There was over three times as many Rowan’s and that’s not even including the numbers of Rohan’s (plus the similar name RoMan). And Roman and Rowan are on huge upward trajectory (over 2000 babies last year)

If you’re concerned about Sonnys popularity, the ONS numbers show Rowan is currently more popular than Sonny (even without including the numbers for Rohan), and is climbing more quickly too.

I agree with you @ OP - naming baby boys is so hard!! Your girls names are gorgeous, very unusual but not whacky x

For what it’s worth I really live River (nickname Riv) too

Sorry i get carried away with name threads, i also have 3 children and will not be having any more, but i have 1 boy 2 girls but i think because I have used the same names I've thrown myself completely head first into this. You have got a list of great names, when you hit on the right one you will know x

I like xander you suggested. I have a name list that I add to constantly some unusual ones which I appreciate aren’t to everyone’s taste are;
Kyon, kyan , kion , keon , rehon

Jebb jett kit maxx cobey Lyle x

Thank you everyone for all your comments and suggestions.

Think we are going to go with Flynn Rowan x

Flynn Rowan is gorgeous

Welcome to the world little Flynn ❤️

Isaac, Neve and Flynn sound great together

Are you being hassled by the council to register him now OP? Well done for choosing - boys names are HARD!! Now time to buy a dog and call her Talia perhaps

Sorry meant to tag you @Lisajg23

....And thank you for updating us on your choice - I love hearing what people decide but it’s rare people come back to tell us xx

@Misshenty

Thank You, yes we have 2 weeks left to register him then they threaten to prosecute!
Although dh has now just said he has gone off Rowan! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

He now likes zander!
We did have xander on our boys list when expecting neve.

My dad is Alexander. i do quite like the name, But i woukd not want the shortening of Alex.
Although I do quite like Zander/xander.

Maybe we will have to flip a coin or pick names out of a hat at this rate.

Isaac, neve and zander/xander
Isaac, neve and Flynn

Xx

I think Xander and Flynn are really nice.

I love Alexander myself but yes it will get shortened to alex so if you don’t like that don’t chose it

Xander/zander is really nice and will not get shortened to alex

If your Dh has gone off Rowan and you never liked the spelling of that name anyway how about:

Flynn Xander/Zander
Or
Xander/Zander Flynn

I personally would spell Xander with an “X” as that’s the more natural spelling. It’s a great name and well outside the top 100 so he’s very likely to be the only one in his class.

Sorry I forgot to tag you @Lisajg23

I like xander Flynn

How about Hugo? I think that goes well with Isaac.
