Need a boy name

Need suggestions for naming a boy. My son is Dylan Cole and my daughter is Gracyn Amera. My top three are Cohen Shawn, Lawson Hayes, and Rowan Jude. Looking for something boyish but unique. My husband and I don't agree on anything. All suggestions greatly appreciated. I only have 2 months to go!

I like Rowan Jude the best but prefer Owen Jude. I also like Cohen Sean (prefer to Shawn).

I like Lawson Hayes best of your choices. Cohen is okay, but is similar to Cole. I know several girls named Rowan.


I like the suggestion of Owen Jude, too.

Hi, I love Dylan Cole! I like Rowan Jude from your list but agree that there are quite a few girls named Rowan. I also prefer Dawson Hayes to Lawson.

other ideas:
Rohan (i think this looks and sounds more masculine than Rowan but is very similar.)
Harris/Harrison
Trent
Bennett
Dean
Byron
Emmett
Theo
Ruben
Leland
Dane
Porter
Roderick/Broderick
Heath
Dustin
Troy
Levi
Terence
Nolan
Emil
Grant

hth!

I like both Cohen and Rowan from your list, but since you specify "boyish," I'd go with Cohen (though I prefer the Coen spelling...as such, it's a surname; as Cohen it's actually a Jewish religious title and if you're not Jewish, it feels a bit disrespectful.) Rowan is still predominately masculine, but it shows up on enough girls that you might prefer something a bit less unisex-used (though, actually, Dylan's getting some of the same treatment, thanks to the Charlie's Angels movies.)

I honestly wouldn't let the girls' use of Rowan keep you from using it if that was one you really, REALLY loved. After all, most boys' names are being used on girls, and eventually I wouldn't be surprised if all boys' names became unisex. *eyeroll*


WHERE DOES IT END? lol.
