Rowan

[ess-muss-sein.livejournal.com]

After a lot of deliberation my husband and I decided on the name Rowan for a boy. I mentioned it to someone and they told me they thought it was a girls name. Just googling around it doesn't seem like any Rowan's are female. Do you guys get the impression that Rowan is a girls name?

I'm also deliberating on the spelling of the name. I like 'Roan' but my husband thinks it's too confusing for pronunciation as it can be pronounced like 'RoAN' or just like 'Rone'. The name could also be spelled as Rohan or Rowen.


Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks!

The only Rowan I know is a little girl.

I am not a fan - like someone else said, it seems like rowin', row row rowin your boat.
