How would you pronounce Rowenna?

[elderflowerprosecco]

I love it but worry she would spend a lifetime correcting everyone.

Do you know any?

Row-enn-a. The double 'n' indicates a short e.

Rowena one 'n' would be Row-ee-na. I used to know someone with this name a long time ago, but it's very unusual I think.

Your way is similar to Morwenna.

Ro-wee-nah.

Rowenna rhymes with Morwenna
Rowena rhymes with hyena
Just like pp have said. Prefer Rowenna - sound and spelling.

Row-en-ah

And then Rowena Row-een-ah

Row Enna

I also like Ramona

Row-en-ah for me too.

Do you like Morven?

I don't particularly. It suits Morven Christie.
I like Morwen but only if you are welsh speaking - it's pronounced MOR-wen (Morr as is Morris, wen as in Wendy) not More-Win.

Row-en-ah.

First glance though I thought it was Rowena.

I think it sounds nicer pronounced Row- enn-a as most posters suggested, rather than the Row-een-a.
I have a friend named Kathleen and she always complained people would drag out the ee sound and make it Kath- leeeeeeeen. So I think that long ee is awkward even though I love those types of Celtic names.

I can't help thinking of this

Roh-enna. I don't see how Roh- eena could be it

I am a Rowenna!

Obviously, all women named Rowenna are intelligent, talented and beautiful but I wouldn't ever choose it for a child.

I've had a lifetime of people calling me Roweeeeena (even when I clearly say it's Ro-when-uh) or worse in some ways because it isn't even a NAME, Row-Anna. I appeared in the local paper aged 3 with some other little girls at a preschool project and there underneath it says our names - mine spelled as Rowena

On the phone I constantly get called Joanna as well, if things weren't confusing enough.

However my mother did consider Morwenna which sounds like something out of the Addams Family so I think I got off lightly.

I've considered changing my name on more than one occasion as there are just so many people who say it wrong and it is tiresome beyond belief correcting them. But I am 'Rowenna' now.

I am unsure if it should be pronounced 'Row-ee-na' or 'Row-en-na", but on first glance I would've said 'Row-ee-na' I think.

My first answer was Row EE nuh because I didn't notice the double n. I'd only need correcting once though.

I think spellings aren't as important as people make out. Most people who know me, met me in person and I TOLD them my name. They didn't have to read it first.
