Rowan = Boy or Girl - and Rohan

Mneme

When you see the name Rowan, do you think girl or boy?

 

Also, does Rohan = LoTR to you?  I've been told it is Scottish and pronounced like Rowan.

First thing that comes to mind is Rowan Atkinson, so I would say boy.

Rohan sounds like a boy name to me too.

I think girl b/c I went to college with a girl rowan.

Honestly, when I see Rowan, I always wonder what gender the child is because it is so unisex in my mind. I would probably think of LoTR if I saw Rohan, but it's growing on me just looking at it, so I'd still use it. But I'm also kind of a Tolkien geek, so...yeah...:)

rowan i think girl. i like it ALOT.

and rohan, when i read it i pronounce the H in the name. and it seems more boyish to me.

My chiro is naming her little boy Rowan.

I like it for either.  This will be our LO's name whether he/she is a boy or a girl.

Totally unisex in my mind.  I've never seen it spelled Rohan, but not opposed.  I still think I prefer it spelled Rowan.

i think of rowan as a boy's name.

I see it as pretty unisex and I like both spellings.

I think Rowan would work well for either.

I think boy.

I consider Rowan a boy name only.  Rohan is okay but I would have pronounced it Ro-han.

Rowan is a really unattractive name to me.

I have a Rohan at my school.  He is South Asian (I'm not exactly sure from where) and his name is pronounced like it looks Row hahn.  I like Rohan, but not Rowan or pronounced like Rowan.

I think of a boy when I think Rowan, but I do think it could go either way.

Rohan- I know of a few Indian guys named this and they say it "Ro-hahn"

I love Rowan for a girl; for a boy I actually like the spelling Roan.
