Traditionally
Rowan is a boy's name. And with the current craze for "stealing" male names for little girls I'm pretty strict about keeping traditional boy names for boys. I love
Rowan on a boy.
But if I'm honest I have to admit that as a name of a plant,
Rowan is fair game for either sex. I still think with so many other great names for girls that
Rowan should remain in the male column. But I feel guilty about saying that.
Could I interest you in
Garnet for a girl instead?
Garnet Rhiannon is a stock combo of mine.
