Rowan (boy)

[tiff00]

yay or nay?

I think the male version is Rohan?
I could be wrong

It's a perfectly nice name. I find it quite bland but thats just my taste. I have a friend with a ds called Rowan...it provoked no strong feelings either way.

Love it. Wanted it but dh was no

Nay from me. I've heard worse names but it just isn't personally a name I'm a fan of x

I like it

I think the male version is Rohan?

Tell that to Rowan Atkinson. It’s a nice name OP.

Love it!

Yay. I went to school with a lovely (male) Rowan. I’ve only known it used as a female name in more recent years and so to my ear it’s always masculine.

I thought Rohan was middle earth 🤓 I like it tho.

I love it OP, great choice.

Love it - wanted it for my youngest but DH didn't like it.

I like it but do prefer it for a girl. The thing with unisex names is they eventually end up as girls names. That may or may not bother you by the time your baby is an adult. Good luck though, I do like Rohan as an alternative.

I like it for both girls and boys. Good strong nature name.

Yay

I know several. It’s getting quite popular.

I love it, it's the name of a small relative of mine and it suits him so well! I do think of it as truly unisex, doesn't suit either one "more".

Tell that to Rowan Atkinson. It’s a nice name OP.

And Rowan Williams (former Archbishop of Canterbury).

Nice. I know two small boys called this, so still predominantly a male name for me.

Lovely name.

How would you pronounce it? Like ro-an or row-an where row rhymes with cow? I always prefer the second one.

I know a couple in their 30s. Love it.

I've never heard of the second pronunciation

I love Rowan. It’s very unusual where I stay and the only one I’d ever heard of was a girl so I had it high up my girls list but I think you could definitely use it for either

me neither. Just Ro-un ime.

it's a gorgeous name.
