User Comments about the name Rowan
Comment left Oct 25, 2009: "I think Rowan is a strong sounding male name. I love it!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 03, 2009: "I named my daughter Rowan Elisabeth after having a dream about her 5 years ago. In my dream she told me she would meet us someday and that her name was Rowan. Ironically, she also has strawberry blond hair (and neither of us have red hair).Even though it has hitorically been a boys name, I wouldn't have named her anything else." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 29, 2009: "I named my daughter Rowan in 2007 but had chosen the name (for a girl only) back in 2001 when my baby turned out to be a boy; Killian. I am very disappointed to see how popular it's getting. In 2001 it wasn't even in the top 1000 on the Social Security list, last year it was in the 400s for a girl and 300s for a boy. I thought I was choosing a very original and beautiful name but then along came Brooke Shields and rained on my parade. Ah well, I still adore the name and never had another thought for my first daughter." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 28, 2009: "We named our baby boy ROWAN it is definately a strong boys name, it sounds a little masculine for a girl" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 25, 2009: "I originally heard the name when I was 12 years old on an old Japanese anime I watched as a kid. I fell in love with it then and 15 years later had a son, and of course I named him Rowan. Only after he was born, did my girlfriend tell me that it means "little red head". The best part about it is that he has a nice little head of red hair. Who would have known that an anime would have given me the perfect name for my perfect son. :)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 12, 2009: "I have wanted to name my first son Rowan for years. I am so disappointed that is has become a unisex name. I wanted my son to have a strong male name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 01, 2009: "I have always loved the name Rowan. I have always considered Rowan to be a girls name, but am starting to think it could suit a boy as well. I will mostlikely be naming my second child Rowan regardless of the baby's sex." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 15, 2009: "I've loved the name Rowan for years. My husband and I didn't find out the sex of our first child who was born in 2006. There was never a doubt that if we had a girl, she would be Rowan. We were blessed with Rowan's arrival 3 years ago, and her name fits her perfectly. We get so many comments about how beautiful and strong her name is." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 07, 2009: "Our newly born son is called Rowan (did toy with Valentine!), and its such a strong and unique name - there was no debate - we both love it and him to bits!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 20, 2009: "Rowan is a family name and is the name I chose for my now 18 month old daughter. I think it's fine for either a boy or girl, but do prefer it for a girl. Rowan is truly a unisex name and always has been. I've done much research on this name and found out that before it was ever a given name it was used in literature as a female name. I think it is a beautiful, unique, and strong sounding name, and I just love it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 19, 2009: "I love my name Rowan, I have got many compliments as to how unique it is etc...I'm a guy so cannot would like to think of it as a guys name.." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 10, 2009: "We are having a boy this Sunday and are naming him Rowan. We have never met anyone named Rowan and feel that it is a unique name and hopefully not too strange. It's really grown on us. We have struggled a bit over whether it is a boys or girls name. I like it for either. He will not be a red head and I dont care." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 31, 2009: "We are in UK and named our son Rowan (born Sept 08) and did a lot of research around the girly name dilemma. Overwhelmingly the UK feedback was it is a boys name and should remain as such. Our boy suits it and I now know of more boys born since named Rowan and no girls -yey!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 29, 2009: "2 boys in my sons class with the name Rowan but very unusual all the same. No girls! Love it!. He's my tree growing big and strong." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 18, 2009: "My daughter is called Rowan. She is 21 years old and she loves her name. I always knew I would call my first daughter Rowan. People have always commented on it positively. She hopes as I do that it will not become common." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 18, 2009: "My first grandson was born May 4th and his name is Rowan. It's a lovely unusual name" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 22, 2009: "Thinking of naming my baby Rowan if it is a girl.... just wondering if she will love it as much as I do when she's in her 20's and 30's... thoughts???" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 09, 2009: "Our baby boy is due in 2 weeks time and we will be naming him Rowan. I think it's a lovely name and more male than female but can see how it would work well for a girl too." (Report as inappropriate)
