Hello,

This is my 2nd post. Baby is 6 weeks old and still not registered as we cannot decide/ agree on a name 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈
I like rohan/rowan (dh not that keen but could prob talk him around)
Flynn
Xander
I like all of these names equally.

Siblings are Neve and Isaac

Which name do you think goes best with siblings names?

Many thanks x

I far prefer Rohan or Rowan over Flynn or Xander.

Xander is very 'try hard' to be exotic, with the X and all.

Flynn is a ridiculous name - it's a surname for starters, and again 'yry hard' - in this case, trying to sound like Finn but not be Finn. And personally, it makes me think 'skinflint'.

@Lisajg23
Flynn is a lovely name - great for a little boy but also for a man. Sounds creative and outdoorsy.
Xander is cool too.👍
2 of the Rowan’s I know of are girls and are called “Row” (like rowing a boat) which I don’t like sorry.

@mathanxiety

Yes Flynn is an Irish surname, as are alot of surnames that are also used as first names now, Harrison, Jackson etc. It does sound similar to Finn, i do like finn.but know many. But i do appreciate your feed back.

Xander is just taken from Alexander which is my dad's name so it doesn't seem exotic to me. I just didn't want Alex or Al as that's what my dad gets, so in tribute to him but also a little but different.

@Lisajg23 ah how lovely Alexander is your dads name. Xander would make a great middle name in tribute to him x
