Boys name preference

[HollyB33]

We found out we are having a boy!! Can I please have opinions on which way round you prefer this name?

Arthur Rowan
Rowan Arthur

AR

I like both but since I know 3 Arthur's under 1 and no Rowan's under 1 I would go with Rowan Arthur

Arthur Rowan is my favourite 🤩
Rowan is lovely but a bit unisex for my personal taste

Arthur Rowan

Rowan is too girly. Arthur is nice but oh so popular.

Arthur Rowan is lovely

Of those combinations, Arthur Rowan sounds better but I do also like the name Rowan.

The only Rowans i know are little boys.....or Rowan Atkinson....I wouldn't consider it a 'girly' name at all

Both lovely.
Personal preference is Rowan first.

What's the surname? Watch the initials. ART is better than RAT

Rowan Arthur
Or Rohan Arthur

Arthur Rowan

He'll be Rowan Surname or Arthur Surname. If your surname is something like Kershaw, Rowan will get teased.

Rowan Arthur flows really well.

The Rs run into each other with Arthur Rowan.

Rowan Arthur.
Unless your surname begins wit a letter T.

Must be a regional accent thing as where I'm from the 'R' on Arthur would be almost silent

It's more like Arth-eh

Rowan Arthur. I love a nature name anyway and Rowan has a nice sound (similar to classic Owen). Arthur is okay but I’m not sure I’d risk the nn Art/Artie as I don’t think it’s very nice personally.

I think both are lovely. Rowan a little more unusual probably so less chance of there being another one in his class when he starts school!

Rowan Arthur is nicer and flows better.

Arthur is nicer (and less likely to be misheard for Roman with an M (Roman has become So popular in last few years))

Both are nice name individuals, so I would consider the flow and initials with the surname.

Rowan Arthur flows much better

I don't like the sound of both Rs running into each other with Arthur Rowan

I really don’t like either. Rowan is a girl’s name to me - I only know girls called it. Arthur is just a bit dreary.

Are you in Scotland? While as a nature name it is unisex, Rowan is definitely more popular for boys elsewhere in the UK than for girls.

Both nice names. Keep saying the first name with surname, and go with the one that sounds best.

Only in your accent.

Arthur Rowan sounds like Arthur Owen.
