Re: Opinions on Rowan

in reply to a message by ~Bri
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.

Might Rowena be a decent substitute for Rowan? ;-)

No offense, but I don't think I could name a girl that! :)

Oh, none taken! :-)It was just a thought that crossed my mind as those two names always felt... um... not too different to me :-)

Totally agree, they are probably known to most people as boy and girl versions of each other.
