Julian and Rowan aren’t very masculine.

Rowan is more frequently used for girls.

James and Leo are more masculine and traditional.

I can’t tell what kind of names you like given the 50/50 split of the 4 names you shared.

Any of these grab you?

Dylan (sorta like Julian and Rowan, but more masculine)
Colin
Evan
Martin
Kevin
Devin

Joshua/Josh
Thomas
Andrew/Drew

LOVE James and Leo. I’ve never met a male Rowan, know several girls though. I don’t like Julian much, but it’s better than Rowan for a boy I guess.

Julian is tok many syllables and Rowan is too popular. What about Easton? Or Weston? I like Owen bettter than Rowan.

Both are very ugly. And I say that having grown up with a lovely Uncle Julie. Both names are just awful. Both James and Leo are MUCH better. Much, much better.

Haha honestly these responses make me feel better because it’s clear everyone truly has their own very unique feelings about names.

Hate James with the fire of a thousand suns, but that's a personal thing, so YMMV.

I actually like Julian a lot. Makes me think of Julian Lennon, which makes me think of his dad, which makes me hum "Imagine" which makes me feel peaceful.

I've only known female Rowans. Not many though.
