We have recently found out we are having a boy and have struggled with boy names!

We already have a boy called Oakley

Our top 3 at the minute are ...
Harlan
Rohan (pronounced the irish way, roh-an)
Harlow

I'm not as keen on Harlow as I worry it's a little toooooo feminine but my OH really likes it.

As you can tell we tend to go for unisex names! I like names that aren't too common but also aren't completely weird! (Oakley wasn't as popular as it is now when we named our first 🙄!) Also like names that I can shorten when we're at home (Harley/Harls, Ro)

Thank you!

You can't call a baby Aslan!

Why not?! I love it and I believe it is a reasonably common name in some countries like Turkey.

Why is Roh-an the Irish way?
I don't think the name is popular in Ireland is it?

I do like it best of the three but would have said Ro-han if I had to guess.

I only like Rohan from your list. Other suggestions:

Hadley
Lennon
Camden
Cameron
