Help[Opinions] Re: Rowan
in reply to a message by mirfak
I've known a handful of Rowans of various ages throughout my life, all men. The oldest Rowan that I know is probably around 60 now and the youngest is 4. It's definitely always been in consistent use in Australia for males, never unusual but never common. I don't see it having a drastic spike upwards from that either in Australia.
I like it pretty equally for boys and girls. I have never personally met or heard of a female Rowan except for long lists of BAs on this site and celebrity usages but I'm not opposed to it at all. It's a nature name and they're fair game to me. I do really like the name, I'm always pleased to hear it being used and I was very happy my friend chose it for her son, who is now four. He's an exceptionally gentle, creative and kind hearted little boy and I think it suits him perfectly. If he had some butch name like Colton or Hunter, it just would be all kinds of wrong!
