I really like it for both but slightly more for a girl and spelled Rowen

It's a tree. XP

Rowan for a boy, Rowena for a girl, and I like both.

Once I knew an excellent Rowan John ... which is OK but lacks sparkle.

I love it for a boy and like it for a girl. Since it's unisex, I'd go with something obviously masculine or obviously feminine as a middle name depending on which gender you use it on.

I love Rowan. It's all boy to me. Even though I have only met female Rowans- I just always think "no, that's not right" when I meet one.

I definitely prefer Rowan on a boy. Love the name though.

I think I like it better for a boy...

But I know a girl I used to work with named Rowan, who was just horrible. I really don't like it for a girl. But for a boy, I can deal.

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.
