HelpRe: What do you think of Rowan for a girl?
in reply to a message by braydenJ123
It was my favorite guy name for a long time. Then I learned that people think it's unisex. I was mildly traumatized, as one always is (joke).
I still think it comes off a little bit 70s/80s-style 'mannish' as a gal name, sort of like Robin and Casey. I still like it as a guy name.
But I'm getting accustomed to it I guess, since there is really no reason a tree name can't be unisex.
I'll never really like it for a gal, I just don't like the sound for gal names - it's like Joan and Sloan.
So I'd lean towards Rowenna (I agree with Mirèio, I think it sounds nicer than Rowena - and also more similar to Rowan) instead. But if you like the unisex vibe Rowan is better than Rowanne.

Yes! I agree that the sound of Rowenna sounds better! But I like it spelled Rowena but pronounced ro-en-uh

Oh, yeah I think that's legit - pronounce Rowena as Ro-en-uh. I like it.
