My friend's older sister is named Lowell after the town their parents grew up in and it suits her really well. And to everyone saying Lowell is only a boy's name: names don't have genders. Yes, names can have a history of being given to one gender more than another, but there are no rules segregating "boy names" from "girl names". :)
I think this name is absolutely wonderful. Lowell happens to be one of my favorite names. It is very masculine sounding but not too rough. This name makes me think of a nice well-behaved young lad.

My grandfather, father and brother all have this name and I consider it a very handsome name. I cannot picture this name being suitable for a girl.
It's listed as masculine but I think it would also be a nice strong name for a girl. There are lots of feminine nicknames for it: Loe, Lowie, Lovey, Wellie. I had a duck named Lowell that we called Wellie, like the Britishism for rain boots.
