Rowan?

[noideawithboysnames]

Came across this today and looking for opinions please?

I know a family who have 2 boys Rowan (nice) and Hawthorn ( not so nice )

I know a girl called Rowan.

Girly, we know five girls and one boy called Rowan.
I also know a Rohan, I think it's from LOTR. They pronounce the H in it, Ro Han. It's nicer , I think, for a boy.

I love it - and I think it works well for a boy or a girl.

I like it xx

Would it be pronounced roe-an or rou-an? (IYSWIM!). I never know how to pronounce this name as know children (and pets) who pronounce it differently

Really nice, and unisex. We know a baby girl Rowan.

It's lovely. We'd have used it if either DD had been a DS

I like it as a girl name. I know a Rowan and she's a lovely child.

I love it. Regretted not using it for DS and would have used it for any future children if I'd got the chance (girl or boy)

It just makes me picture Mr Bean.

Mixed responses! I know it’s unisex but it seems more masculine to me somehow. I pronounce it more like Row-un I guess Sleep

Lovely name :)

@noideawithboysnames but row like 'row your boat ' or 'I had a row with DH' ?

I love it, especially for a boy. It was on my shortlist if my daughter had been a son.

Oh I see-Row like the boat!

We have a 2 and a half week old Rowan (boy). We love it - unusual but people have heard of it and have had lots of positive comments on his name. His brother calls him RowRow which is cute.

Love it

I like it for a girl, not so much for a boy.

I know a male and female rowan.

Infact when I started nursery and for a few years after I insisted I wanted to be called Rowan

It was on our final short list for Ds2. I Loved it but Dh was a bit lukewarm about it otherwise we would have a Rowan now.

It's OK. It's better on a boy.

I like it for a girl, but not for a boy .

Love it, one of DD’s middle names is Rowan. We almost used it as her first name, but I started overthinking the unisex thing. Love the nature connection, and it’s one of the few names that works equally well for both sexes imo.

Makes me think of Mr Bean
