I see them as gender neutral

I know some people are using Finley on girls but to me it’s still all boy.I mean Finn is the obvious nickname for it and that just seems completely masculine.
Rowan-I’ve heard on both and although I still prefer it on a boy at least it seems much more acceptable on a girl/as a unisex name to me than Finley does.
Consider Rowan and Riley instead!

I see Rowan as gender neutral but Finley I see as all boy. What about Peyton, Cameron, Riley, Kendall, or Taylor?

I think they’re both gender neutral.

More masculine in my opinion love these names :)

Rowan definitely gender neutral, Finley seems more like a boys’ name to me, although over the summer I heard the name on a girl, she was probably 7 or 8...

Finlay is definitely masculine. I prefer Rowan on a boy. But I have to admit that since it’s also the name of a plant, and names from nature are more often feminine than masculine, I can see the argument for Rowan as a girl’s name. But with so many more options for parents of little girls, I wish they’d leave Rowan (and Findlay) for parents of little boys. Just my two cents.

What about Robin instead of Rowan? Traditionally it’s a nickname for Robert (e.g., Robin Hood, Christopher Robin) but usually bird names are used on girls so it feels more *legitimately* (for lack of a better term) unisex. Good luck! :0)

I’d have assumed they were both girls, honestly. I think they both sounds super girly, and I like them. I don’t know about for boys. Finley isn’t horrible on a boy because you can get the nickname Finn, but Rowan just seems super girly.

Both extremely masculine.

I love Rowan and Finley but only on boys.

I see the names as manly not neutral.

All the best with your babies

I see both as gender neutral. Rowan is one of my favourite unisex names. Finley, though traditionally male, could work for a girl as a more unisex version of the Ainsley/Paisley/-ey trend in girls right now.

They can go either way, but I like them a little more for boys. They would be fine for girls though. A name that I think truely works well for a boy or girl is Jordan.
