Joshua, Toby, Alexander or Rowan?

[Summersuncocktails]

Little boy due in a few weeks time

We are soooooo struggling with boy names

What would you choose?

Joshua
Toby
Alexander (alex)
Rowan

Any other suggestions welcome 🙏

Alex or Rowan are fabulous choices and congratulations to you both!

Alexander - classic. No abbreviations.

Alexander, Alex or Xander are great.

Rowan is my favourite. But it is extremely popular at the moment. It wouldn’t stop me using it but I’m not sure how you feel about having a very of-the-moment name.

Second a tie between Joshua and Alexander. Both classic and lovely.

I don’t dislike Toby but it isn’t as good as the other 3.

Love Toby and Alexander.

Joshua is lovely!

Joshua or Rowan for me. Toby, I don't like at all.

My ds is Roan. Always think the Rowan spelling is for a girl.

I’d pick Alexander, really like Alex too. Also like Joshua & Tobias if that’s an option?

Alexander (great name)
Toby
Joshua
Rowan

Definitely Alexander!

We had your first three names on our shortlist. We waited until DS was born and then decided which one suited him best.

Alexander- great name but I prefer Xander as a shortened version.

Rowan - only ones I know are 26 and 19

Joshua- dated

Toby - really dislike, reminds me of a Toby Jug

I absolutely love all of them (sorry no help!).

They're all nice. What do they sound like with your surname?
I think I'd pick Toby.

Roan is a colour and rhymes with moan.

Rowan

Definitely Alexander!

Alexander or Tobias 😍

I don't like Joshua - something slimey sounding to my ears, like that slimey feeling you get when seaweed wraps round your ankle when your swimming in the sea.

My DS is Roan also 🩵

Joshua is the best by miles. Alexander is fine. Rowan is a girl's name. Toby is dire.

Joshua. I’m biased though because I have one. And he really suits it, weird isn’t it?

Alexander! But Alex for short not Xander.

Rowan or Alexander (Rowan I really like and Alex is a classic safe choice)

Not as keen on the others but they’re not awful

Rowan by quite a lot
