Rowan for a girl?

[countrystumpkin]

Can you help with a quick ‘poll’ of if you personally think Rowan is a girl or a boy name? Also do you like it for a girl?

Husband is unsure as he sees it as a boys name - he likes the name itself but feels that she will get lots of comments about it being a male name.

Thoughts? Thanks!

There are 3 at DS’s nursery, all boys, so be prepared for the fact that it’s becoming more popular of late. I also went to school with a female Rowan.

Rohan is a boy's name.Please don't call her that.
Rowan is unisex. I get a feeling that she could be one of many in her peer group.

That's my last name!

I'm a woman, I think it's lovely although I'm biased

I think it's lovely for either, although I'd probably be more likely to give it to a girl.

One of the teachers at DCs' school is a female Rowan, so it's clearly been unisex for at least a generation.

Rowan is much nicer than Rowena, and Rohan is definitely a male name.

I've just finished reading an Anne Rice novel where the main character is called Rowan...she is a rich neurosurgeon and also a little magic 😄 I'd say it's a lovely girls name!

I think it's lovely for a girl.

My friend's little girl is called Rowan and I love it!

Thank you, everyone! Husband seems to be coming round to it so we might have a baby Rowan on the way!

It’s on my boys list

It's a great name, but better suited to a boy I think.

Genuinely unisex and lovely for both. I think I know one of each! Glad you and your husband are on the same page!

Rowan for a girl is a beautiful name but then I m biased😊

It's traditionally a boys name

I think it’s lovely for a girl.

Love it! We’ve always said that if we have a girl with red hair she is going to be called Rowan, yet to happen even though red haired is on both sides of the family

My DD is Rowanne (pronounces Roh-ann) and I still love it. I didn't like Rowena and I was concerned that Rowanne was the male version.

Girl's name (I know a lovely teenage girl with the name)

DD is called Rowan so I love it! When she was at nursery there was a boy there called Rowan too so definitely unisex.
