Ooh tough! [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] are both on my favourites list and I cant decide which I prefer. I like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] slightly less because I associate it with [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] Keating - lovely songs but a bit 90s)
I love [name_u]Rory[/name_u] but I find it hard to say comfortably. All nice names there.
I’m not a big fan of [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]. I like both other choices, but I voted for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] because as a pp said, I find [name_u]Rory[/name_u] a little awkward to pronounce.
I voted for [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], but I think I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] pretty much equally. [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] sounds a bit more masculine to me, and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] a bit softer–though I tend to like “soft” sounding boys’ names, so that is not a criticism. In fact, I think probably [name_u]Rory[/name_u] appeals to me less because it lacks that softer aspect.
Tough one! I chose [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is fabulous too
I voted for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but I love both [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. I really want to like [name_u]Rory[/name_u], but it is so awkward to pronounce to me. I like the idea of it or the look of it, but when it’s spoken I don’t like it.
This is me. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, but feels like a tongue twister. [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is fabulous and underused.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] for sure! [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] are both on my list, and I like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], but not as much as [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. I feel like I should pick one or the other, but I can’t seem to get rid of them. And I don’t really like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. So I’m keeping both for now. 
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]! [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]'s a name I want to like but I associate it too much with [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] Keating and I’ve never really liked [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is my favorite. I’ve only ever met a girl [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and a girl [name_u]Rory[/name_u], so [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] seems all boy to me.
I love both [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], so this is hard. I guess right now I’d go for [name_u]Rory[/name_u].
I’d vote for [name_u]Rory[/name_u] but I have to go with [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]. I’ve got the same issues as others with the pronunciation! Which is a shame, because I want to love it, but the mouth movements are very stiff. [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is cute and I like the sound; [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is getting a little too popular for my tastes and I already know a new baby with that name.
Thanks for the comments/votes! It looks like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is the favorite, and although I do think that [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is a bit tricky to pronounce that issue wouldn’t be a total deterrent for me like some have said.
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is my favorite. I also find [name_u]Rory[/name_u] a bit hard to say, and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is pronounced the same as the verb “rowing” in my accent. Puts me off a bit.
