Is Rowan really that popular?

[Newnamenewname109870]

I’ve seen on mumsnet before that it’s a really popular name. I only know of one that’s a girl atm (and I’m thinking for a boy). Do you know many?

I would say it's a boys name and think it's quite nice. I don't know any others x

I teach a girl Rowan

I know two (baby) boys called Rowen. In my mind it’s a surname, as I’ve a good friend with this surname

*Rowan

I know three boys under five and a fifty year old man.

I know a Rohan and three Rowan. Ages range from 0-16. All lovely.

Yes we have a wee boy Rowan in the family and I know of one other in the school, a girl. I think it's definitely hit the radar of current names.

I know a 20 Yr old male and 11 year old female.

I know (of) two, a 45 year old woman and a 6 year old boy

I know two, one 40ish and one baby, both female

Rowan’s been getting more popular. It was ranked 63rd for boys in England and Wales in 2021, so top 100 but that’s not what I’d call really popular.
It’s a lot less popular for girls.

DS1 is Rowan, he's 19. I think it's a lovely name (obviously!).

For boys it’s fairly popular at the moment; for girls much less so (somewhere in the 400s and falling I believe?)

Funnily enough though I only know female Rowans - it’s one of DD’s middle names (was very nearly her first), and I know two girl toddler Rowans.

The Rowans I know are a teenage boy, a teenage girl and a 5 year old girl, and a friend of a friend, middle aged woman.

It's a lovely name, and a definite unisex name.

I know two female Rowans. 14 and 52.
Lovely name

I only know a male in his early 20's

I have a 25 year old Rowan He has never met another
Obviously I'm biased but I love his name

I know a 6 year old girl and a 13 year old boy.

I know 3, two toddler boys and a man in his 20s.

I have a baby one. We've come across another baby Rowan locally, who is a girl. Don't know any others.

We've met a few babies called Rory at groups and things - glad we didn't use it, as it was also on our list!

Ah it’s my most favourite name. I prefer the spelling Rohan. DD2 was going to be called it but DH and i couldn’t agree.

I know one male rowan in mid 20s, several toddlers both male and female. Also know children called Rohan, Ronan, Ronin, Rowan, Roman. Which makes those sorts of names all sound more popular.

Two at DD’s primary school (11 and 6ish) and our next door neighbour just named their newborn son Rowan too.

I know 2 boys under one and one boy who is about 8. It’s a lovely name!
