Re: Rowena?
in reply to a message by CrazyCalla
ro-WEN-na was the way I always pronounced it too. I connect it to Ivanhoe and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The main character of the latter book is named Rebecca Rowena after the two characters in the former book. I love the sound of it. It's so alluring. I'm not too keen on Millie, though. But if it means a lot to you, they don't sound ridiculous or horrid or bad together.
