Someone posted Rowan below, which got me thinking... What is your first impression of this name for a boy?
DH & I want to stick with Gaelic names so we really like this one. But we don't like trendy names at all, and I worry that people think of it as trendy not ethnic (Gaelic/English). For example, I really like both Declan & Liam but would not use them because they have become pretty trendy in our area. TIA!
Re: Rowan
Exactly this...
All I think about is rowing a boat. I've never met anyone named Rowan so it doesn't seem trendy to me, but it is popular on this board.
Ian is my favorite Gaelic boy name. I also love classics like Sean, Shane, Garrett and Brian. Owen is great, but very popular right now.
My MBA is from Rowan University...so as far as a name goes i can oly think of one thing.
the only one i like is Liam, not so popular where i live.
Well, that was rude.
This is going to be our daughters middle name - we wanted a gaelic name, as well. Tagan Rowyn
I really see Rowan being a unisex name and definitely not trendy here in Texas
