Hi,

We are down to these two names,

Rowan
Ewan

I like both, they are quite similar sounding so having difficulty deciding.

I like that they are nature name, Rowan a type of tree and Ewan meaning from the yew tree

Which would you choose?

Thank you x

I love the name Sonny @Peacefrog23

I know a 15yo with this name and he’s the coolest dude. I love his name, it really suits him!

Glad you and your DH have found a name that he quite likes! I know how difficult it can be, especially with boys names. So difficult!

I also agree that you should probably avoid Roan/Roman if you don’t want a “top 30”-type name. Definitely best to avoid the top fastest rising name (or a near identical one) if you’re in any way bothered about popularity.

Sonny is a great choice @Peacefrog23

Very fond of that name.

Just looked up Sonny Williams! He’s hot 😆 Used to be a boxer apparently. His cool name suits him.

I love the name Sonny! It’s my best friends’ favourite name. She was desperate to call her son by this name but her husband said “no” at the time and she’s still a bit gutted she didn’t get to use. Especially as her husband has since changed his mind and says he now loves the name (but they aren’t having any more children )

.....Men eh?! 😆

I like Sonny best!

Cbeebiesrehab · 03/01/2020 13:55

Love Sonny!

Out of Rowan and Ewan I would pick Ewan. My son was very nearly a Rowan and I’m so glad we changed our mind due to the RoMan increase.

I like Sonny/Sunny but it's a bit nicknamey. I know a Sunny short for Sunday (Nigerian descent) and it suits him.

Ewan/Euan is nice. (prefer Euan)

I like Rowan but would be put off by it's popularity as a girl's name, and the popularity of Roman, Rohan etc.

Thanks everyone......oh im so confused like them all! 🙈🙈

Will have to see what he suits then, eh?
If he is a miserable looking baby, sonny might not work! 😂

I will be sure to update the thread when he arrives ☺ x

I've suggested Winston on another thread.

Whatsyourflava · 03/01/2020 15:05

How about Ellis? Or Eli? Or Seth? Or Tristan?

Hoping you can find a stand out favourite once little man is here. Be sure to update us

Whatsyourflava · 03/01/2020 15:05

Really like Winston. Can’t believe it’s not more common @MikeUniformMike

Whatsyourflava · 03/01/2020 15:05

Curtis?

nowaypose · 03/01/2020 15:09

Definitely Rowan.
