Rohan

[seeker]

it's pronounced Row(as in boat)han, isn't it?

as in "riders of Rohan"? If you're going Tolkein I'd opt for Aragorn.

Yes, pronounced Row-han rather than Roan.

No. It's pronounced Ro-an (silent H).

The H is pronounced in its Sanskrit form or bloody Tolkien.

the Rohan i know pronounces it just like Rowan. Row-inn really. no "a" sound in the last syllable.

Oikopolis- really? Rowinn? Sweet Lord that's dreadful.

I think Rohan is lovely :)

yeah it's a bit odd? I mean "row" like "row your boat" btw, not like the synonym for argument. (English is an awk language to be sure.)

but his parents prn it like that too, and no-one else seems to bat an eye. personally I want to say Row- han. I was a little surprised when i saw the spelling too tbh.

rowan keating mmmm

I have a rohan with the Sanskrit H sound in between. People do call him rowan and roan at times. I was a bit of a lotr fan, but also like the way this name translates into various languages and cultures.

oh no he is ronan isnt he

Ro-an. And it is lovely. Rowan is a different name.

Curly. Yep.

MaMattoo - I have a Rohan (Ro-an) pronounced the Gaelic way. . I read the entire LOTR trilogy on bed rest when I was expecting DS. In my head I always said it without the H.

The Rohan I know is a Ro-an. He hates it when people say Ro-han.

Rohan was the name of a very powerful family in medieval times in Brittany. The name to me speaks of power and strength, like Rex. I love it.

I would pronounce it Row-han. But I wouldn't be surprised to hear it pronounced Ro-an. I can see how that works.

It's the name of my new great nephew. He's half Punjabi, half English. I've only seen the name in a text so far. I know they were looking for a name that works in both cultures.

My nephew is Rohan - definitely Ro- han with emphasis on han. Dad has indian/fijian relatives I think if that makes any difference.

I know a little boy who's name is pronounced row-han. Dad is English mum is Indian.

I have met two Hindu families with little boys called Rohan emphasis on the -han.

Little boy I know called Rohan has it pronounced Row-han, emphasis on han.
Parents are Indian.

I have 2 cousins called Rohan, both pronounce it row-an.

I know one, called Row-han; a free spirit indigo child

Probably just me being picky but I don't understand it being pronounced ROW han. It doesn't have a W in it.
Just me. Picky.

Bunty - He's blue? Like a smurf?
