Rowena

I know a girl with this name, and she pronounces it "ro-WHEN-uh".

I was wondering if it's possible for the "a" in Rowena to be silent? If so, then my name would be pronounced (Rowen).

I always used to like this name until I heard it pronounced. Ro-weena sounds like a pig oinking, frankly. Row-enna or even Ro-way-na would be much better.

I always thought it was pronounced row-EN-nah. Ro-WEE-nah sounds really silly.

I would pronounce it more like Row-EEN-a than Ro-WEE-na.

I have heard it pronounced ro-WEN-a or ro-WENN-a.
