opinions on the name rowan for boy

[Starsandthemoonx]

I love the name rowan, I already have an Aaron and Gracie. I did really like the name leo but seems really common now! anyone any similar name recommendations

Like it. Rowan Atkinson, Rowan Williams. Prefer it as a boy's name but it's ok for a girl.

Yes like it.

I have a rowan. We we always get it mispronounced as per previous poster. He's rowan as in row your boat! If I'm never going to see the people again I don't bother correcting them now. It was my older son that suggested and essentially chose the name ... he loved and still does love rowan Atkinson!

It's a really beautiful name.

I love Ronin ie Hawkeye Avengers

Love it, but very similar to Aaron.

Love it. My boy cat is Rowan. My dc are all girls

Is Rowan actually unisex? Or is it a boy's name that's been appropriated? I've only ever known it as a boy's name, but plenty of boys names (Aubrey, Riley, even Kelly) were originally boys names but have started to be appropriated for girls.

Not that it makes a difference really, but I'm interested as there does seem to be a trend of boys names become unisex, and then (as per Kelly) only used for girls.

But I love Rowan as a boys name :)

I think Rowan for a boy is going to become really popular. I know three born in the last 6 months. If you’re avoiding Leo because it’s popular, you might want to have a rethink on Rowan.

My friend has a Rohan - she preferred that to the W spelling

I think it's a nice name - spelt either way

thanks everyone I think Rowan will be the name pronounced as in row the boat lol! should have stated it's for my boy!
