Rowan- is it just a name for redheads or brunettes?

[beeprepared]

I'm expecting a blonde baby (probably) but I love the name Rowan. Can't help thinking its just a name for redheads or brunettes.

It's a tree with lovely red berries. Nothing remotely brunette or redhead about it. I think it's a really nice name - go for it.

Agree with Hassled

The only Rowan I ever knew (at school) was what I would call ash-blonde. It's such a beautiful name and it suited her perfectly. Go with the name you love.

It's a gorgeous name go for it!

After reading Anne Rices 'The Witching Hour' Rowan is a beautiful blonde witch/doctor. its a lovely name

I love Rowan but dh wouldn't have it. Go for it.

It's a lovely name and not just for red heads!

I love this name, hair colour doesn't matter. Is it for a boy or girl? I would have used this but DD1 is Holly and it would sound like I was using a weird red berried plant theme!

My very blond nephew and his very blond wife have a beautiful red head daughter so you never can tell

However, i love the name no matter what the hair colour (or sex) of the person.

I have a blond boy called Rowan, he was pretty red and screaming when he was born so like to think his name is still relevant!

Still happy with what we chose. Good luck with your pregnancy!

I love it. Unless your surname is Berry, Bush, Tree, etc.

My brother is called Rowan, he was a blondie when he was little and now has brown hair. He does have a red beard, but my mum didn't know that when he was born.

He does have a red beard, but my mum didn't know that when he was born.

lol - I am the only one imagining a baby with a big red beard?!

Rowan is also a mountain ash, so suitable for ash blondes also.

He does have a red beard, but my mum didn't know that when he was born.

that would look umm.. different! My DP also has a red beard, I'm assuming DS will inherit a red beard.. I think rowan red beard sounds a little like a pirate name.

Only one I know is a blonde (and very lovely) child, and it suits her perfectly.

(I have 2 very blonde children, but DH and I are both brunette, and neither of use were blonde as children, they came as a bit of a surprise).

Pretty much my absolute favourite name of all time - love it. Have actually never met one who does have red hair - I tend to think more of the tree and various characters in books I've red. Think it works for any hair colour.

I look after a 2yr old red cork screw curly haired wild child of a girl called Rowan. She's beautiful and hot tempered and smart. I love her name, it fits her perfectly!!!

I'm a brunette and had 2 redheads, 1 blonde (who started out jet black) and 2 auburn-brownish DCs.

Sadly you are not imagining it

now I'm worrying DS will be born with a red beard!

It would be even worse if you had a DD with a red beard.

Good point!

Rowan Atkinson isn't a redhead

I have a blonde Rowan. Her names suits her perfectly.
