Rohan or Rowan?

[hoolabaybee]

Does anyone like this?

I think Rohan best spelling, my daughter (her baby ) likes Rowan.

Thoughts?

I prefer Rowan personally.

I wouldn't pronounce them the same way.

They're completely different names

Rohan is pronounced Row (to rhyme with show) han (to rhyme with pan)

Rowan everyone know how to pronounce due to Rowan Atkinson.

Lots of Rohans at my DS's school.

Boy or girl? I think either are ok for a boy but Rowan only for a girl.
I like Rohan, and they are pronounced the same.

I prefer Rowan.

I thought that too Carrot

It's a boy by the way!

All of the Rohans at my DS's school pronounce Row-han. (Midlands). Two are Indian and one is from Sri Lanka.

We have a Rowan. People constantly pronounce it 'Row (rhymes with bow) in' like they're dropping the h in rowing. Either that or they over pronounce the an like 'Row-anne'

We do wish we'd gone with Rohan because people seem to struggle less with that. I think Rowan looks nicer written down though.

I would say Row-han too so if your DD wants the Rowan pronunciation then she's right to spell it Rowan.

Not pronounced the same in my experience.

Rohan: Indian boy's name Ro-han
Rowan: Unisex name Ro-wen

Where do you live?

I meant to write 'some people' there. It seems to be the same people who just can't seem to get it no matter how many times they try. The vast majority of people are fine with it though.

Oh fgs. And that h in my first post should be a g. Obviously there is no h in rowing Damn you fat fingers!

All the Rohan's I have met have been Pakistani and pronounced it Row-Han.
I love the name Rowan and pronounce it Row-un.

Rowan

We live in Yorkshire so not sure many will pronounce it Ro-Han

But presumably your DGS will not stay in Yorkshire his whole life.
