I've never met a female Rowan, nor heard of one IRL, so Rowan for a boy is "normal" to me and I wouldn't consider it otherways.
Rowan Gabriel looks and sounds fine but it also feels as though it is missing something, sorry I can't be more specific, I guess because I'm not wild about either name it just lacks a lot of spark.

Adore Rowan for a boy, but only for a boy (I'd like Rowena for a girl). Rowan makes me think of a boy that everyone underestimates, but turns out to be stronger than anyone ever gave him credit for; not necessarily in physical strength, but mental strength and courage (probably because I read a book like that). Rowan Gabriel is excellent.
I like Rowan for a boy. I used to not, but it's grown on me. The combo is great.
This is one of the only unisex names that I actually prefer on a girl, but that may be because I knew a really whiny boy Rowan when I was a kid.
I know a little male Rowan who is nine months old.
I've asked about this name before, so I know that I'm in the minority here, but I don't like it for a boy, as I feel that it's not masculine enough. In my opinion, it's one of those names that is not masculine enough for a boy and not feminine enough for a girl.
I don't like Gabriel, so Rowan Gabriel is a double whammy.

agree
It's so non-masculine, and so non-feminine, that it adds up to a big fat nothing at all.

I like it a lot and that's a very grounded combo. It feels very ready to use irl.
Nice combo but I would only use if for a girl myself. Don't mind it on a boy for others though.
