HelpRe: Rowan
in reply to a message by mirfak
I don't see Rowan getting super popular in NJ but I'd never be surprised to see it at least on a boy. I'd be slightly more surprised to see it on a girl, just because I've noticed around where I live, naming practices are still more "traditional" than other parts of the country.
That said, I've actually only heard it on a girl, the star of Disney Channel's Girl Meets World Rowan Blanchard. I used to dislike it on a girl but I think she pulls it off well.
I don't love the name either way so I don't have a strong preference male or female. It works fine for both IMO.
Also, I had no idea until this moment that a Rowan is a type of tree? I don't think of it as a nature name because I didn't know this!

It's sometimes called Mountain Ash.
And where I grew up, we call it "dogberry tree".(less elegant).
We always as children use to sample the berries, and they were always impossibly astringent. You'd think we would learn,but no.
I read that you can make a jelly with the berries, though. For having with meat. Sort of like cranberries, perhaps.
