Baby Boy Names

Anonymous
We have two girls so we've never had to think of boy names. I'm super early but my husband randomly suggested the name Noah for a boy.

Thoughts on Noah or Rowan?

I Ike both those names a great deal. What’s your last name? How many syllables and of what ethnic origin? Rowan is very Irish.

I think of Rowan as more of a girl's name but Ronan is nice. Noah is fine but pretty sure it was the #1 name in the country a few years back.

OP here

Last name actually starts with Mc - I’m not aware that my husband’s side has any bit of Irish heritage. He’s actually mostly German.

It’s three syllables and ends in a N.

Hate Ronan and Rowan. Strongly dislike Noah.

I like Rowan. I like Heath, which to me is sort of Rowan-like. I hate Ronan. Noah makes me think of "the drunkenness of..."

But it's about what YOU like, not about what I like.

Don’t do a first name that ends in an n if your last name does. What are your girls names?

Rowan is a boy’s name. Rowanne is the girl’s:

Not always true. Rowan McKinnon sounds great!

I love the name Rowan, OP.

Noah is way too popular now. I like Rowan.

What about Conor or Holden?

Rowen sounds like it would go better with your last name but I prefer Noah

Noah is very nice.

I know a girl (she is now about 20 years old) named Roan (pronounced the same as Rowan) so it seems feminine to me.

Not necessarily. Brooke Shields' daughter is Rowan. It's #211 on the popularity list for girls right now. #129 for boys.
