Like Rowan or would you manifest the H?

And if you do pronounce the H, is it Ro-HAWN or Roe-HAN? I would assume when pronouncing the H you put the accent on the second syllable?

Eep. I like the look of the name and wonder what most people would initially view it to be pronounced as.

I wouldn't pronounce the h but it is different to Rowan

Rowan = Row unn, with the emphasis on the o
Rohan = Row ann, with the emphasis on the ann

Tolkein says Roe-Han. As a name I would probably assume Rowan until corrected.

I thought Roe Han until I said it out loud and then decided on Rowan.

Rowan, unless you are Indian, in which case the Indian name (totally unrelated in meaning but the same letters in English) is pronounced with the h.

Same as Rowan.

I thought ROE-HAN as well.

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 10/03/2012 05:02

Roe-HAN. Why put a w in if there is none? (an as in can)

Unless you're Scandinavian....

Row-un. So, yes. Rowan.
