Baby Boy Names

  My husband and I really like Rowan, but I've been hearing it pop up more and more...with girls too. I don't know if I want my son to have what could be the next trendy name, which will make it sound dated. 

  
  

  ETA: I know a lot of people dislike Jameson, but it has a special meaning to my husband and me. Plus I like the name Jamie for a boy.

  I like Rowan and Brendan but Brendan seems kinda dated in a still too soon to bring back kinda way (I'm thinking early '90's teen show). And Rowan is trending up fast for boys and girls. So I suggest...
  
  Adrian Dylane
  Bastian Dylane
  Ezra Dylane
  Edgar Dylane
  Earl Dylane
  Maynard Dylane
  Rogan Dylane
  Sullivan Dylane
  Ryan Dylane
  Shea Dylane
  Reid Dylane
  James Dylane
  John Dylane
  
  HTH!

  I like all them except Jameson. Rowan, Brendan, and Brooks were all on our list for our second son.

  I prefer Rowan. 

  
  

  I will suggest:

  
  

  Ronan

  Kai

  Blake

  Thanks, everyone! Looks like Rowan is the frontrunner. It's also my husband's favorite. Mine happens to be Jameson:-O, but it's not getting much love around here. Ha!  As far as naming him James, I just don't think I'm a fan of it, not that it's a bad name at all. I just really like the way Jameson sounds, and I'm sentimental about it. 

  
  

  Thanks for the additional suggestions. I will run the ones I like by my H.

  I don't love Rowan, and I think it's use is escalating (but I personally don't see it becoming trendy or top 10) but it's my favorite from your list
  
  I get that it's hard to let go of sentimental favorites, but the alcohol association is too strong for me for Jameson. And I'm not a fan of the -son ending name trend.

  I absolutely love Rowan and would use it if DH could get on board.  Definitely name him Rowan so I can live vicariously through you.

  My husband and I love Avery for years now for a baby boy. Only problem is I feel like it's more commonly used for girls now

  Love Rowan and Brooks (my favorite). For me Brennan Dylan doesn't roll of the tongue so well. I like James Dylan far more than Jameson Dylan ; it's easier to say.

  Brooks is the clear winner for me. I don't mind Rowan but I don't like it with Dylane, I don't like that they both end with the same sound

  Dylane isn't pronounced like Dylan. It has a long A sound. Like Dill-lane. I don't know if that makes a difference at all.

  I don't think it's a big deal one way or the other. It's in the middle name spot and it's honoring family. I think any of the names you choose will be fine with it. I think meaning trumps the "flow" of a name.

  I forgot to mention in my previous post... I think Dylane (pronounced Dill-lane) works with your name choices. Although, Jameson Dylane may be more of a mouthful than the other 3 choices. James Dylane would flow much easier
