Hi,

I'm due in a little boy in March. We already have an Isaac (if that helps)

After going through what seems like hundreds of names we have finally agreed on these two.

Rowan
Jude

I really like both, so having trouble making a desicion.

Which do you prefer and why?

Thank you mums x

I would think you were very religious if you had Issac and Jude.

I prefer Rowan

Yes Jude by a mile here too.
Congratulations on making a decision @Cuckoome - Jude and Isaac sound really lovely together. Now you can “relax” and enjoy pregnancy! (If that’s possible!) Good luck with the last two months 💐

Love both

Congratulations! Jude goes brilliantly with Isaac

Best wishes OP. Jude is a great choice and complements Isaac. Both classic names and easy to spell and pronounce.
You have the added bonus of having a special song to sing baby Jude to sleep with!

Jude

Cbeebiesrehab · 14/02/2020 21:51

These were my two choices. Went with Jude and could not be more happy with my choice! Get nothing but positive reactions.

Jude, as I think Rowan is going to get very popular.

Nonnymum · 14/02/2020 22:03

Rowan is nice, but to me it's a girls name.
All the Rowans I know are boys or men. Never heard a girl called Rowan. Rowena is traditionally the female version of Rowan..
OP both names are good names

Jude
I work in a n environment where I see lots of kids and always struggle with Rowan as a boys name .
in this neck of the woods it's more a girls name ... pronounced Rowe- ann
when I have to say the male version of Roann o struggle

Grufallosfriends · 15/02/2020 07:51

Rowan. Great strong boys name.

The feminine version is Rowena. I know a couple of Rowena's.

Rowan

MikeUniformMike · 15/02/2020 21:00

Much prefer Rowan. Boy's name (Atkinson, Williams) but can be used for a girl (Pelling).
Jude can also be used for a girl, short for Judith. Short names get lengthened and it could be Judy or Judas.

I like Rowan.
