[Opinions] Re: Rowan
in reply to a message by Aine
1) What do you think of Rowan on a girl? Is it acceptable seeing as it is a nature name? - Rowan on a girl bothers me less than most other masculine names on girls, probably mainly because it is a nature name. But I much prefer it on a boy.
2) What do you think of Rowan Clover and Rowan Scarlett? - Rowan Clover is one too nature-y for one combo, IMO. Rowan Scarlett is a little better, but Scarlett is a little too close to being a color (scarlet) and therefore another word name. I do prefer a feminine name as the mn if using a masculine fn like Rowan, though (Clover doesn't strike me as terribly feminine...or as a name at all, actually, even though it's cute :b).
3) Maybe over-the-top frilly for a mn with Rowan, like Rowan Cordelia or Rowan Felicity (I think I'm channeling WB characters today :-/).
