Boys name...Rowan?

[Mommaofboys1]

Really struggling to settle on a name for our baby boy due in a few weeks. Thoughts on the name Rowan? Is this seen as more of a girls name?

DS is a Rowan. He's in his teens and likes it. I think it's lovely name and to my mind more male than female but works for both. I preferred it to Roan because I wanted a tree name.

I also like Bobby but prefer Robert.

I know several Rowan’s born in the last year or so and they’ve all been boys. I think it is definitely turning into a masculine name.

Much prefer Bobby over Rowan/Roman/Rohan/Roan/RoNan myself. Bobby is lovely. Rowan is a girls name to me.

But regardless of all that it sounds like you’re both not sold on either name, maybe time to go back to drawing board. There’s lots of lovely names to pick from and you have plenty of time.

I see it as unisex. I knew a guy called Rowan in uni and it suited him. My mates called her daughter Rowan and that sounds good too.

The two reasons I think it's a good name are also the reasons we can't use it! Haha
