I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] over [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] but [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] over [name_u]Harper[/name_u], so I voted Other.

Same here - [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be lovely

I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] equally, but I really prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] to [name_u]Harper[/name_u], so my vote was for ‘[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]’ - although I wouldn’t mind a combo of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] too.

I voted for [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] because they work better together, but I absolutely love [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

I really dislike [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]. Not only do I know all female [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]'s, but I feel like the name just doesn’t go with it being a trendy name and a traditional name together. I’d probably prefer [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], which is just a different spelling, as I’ve known boys spell it this way.

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] & [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] would be better I think.

So if you’re trying to get a sense of your style, I don’t know how much polling us will help. I like classic names, so I voted for the classic choices. Others prefer unisex, so they’ll vote for those names. Our own subjective preferences probably won’t give you any real insight into your preferred style.

[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] a future dinner table or turning to see your kids in the backseat of the car on a family vacation or yelling that if they don’t hurry, they’ll be late for school–are you yelling for [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u]?

If you’re legitimately still torn and feel you need to decide right now rather than waiting and seeing, you should also know that some people have different style preferences for boys’ names rather than girls’ names, so there’s nothing wrong with preferring classic names for boys and unisex for girls. Maybe you’re feeling torn and confused because you’re trying to force yourself to prefer the same style for both sexes when that’s not necessary.
