Rowan for a boy

How do we feel about this? I like it, middle name David. Are there other spellings for a boy? I don't like it as much for a girl.

I love it on a boy!

Reminds me of Mr. Bean!

Nice choice!

I love it for a boy, although I hear it is a lot more common for a girl now. I am more for traditional boy names staying for boys, especially Irish ones.

my initial reaction: i like it.

but when i repeat it, it starts to sound like rowin', as in, "i'm rowin' a boat." then, i don't like it anymore.

I love it! I would spell it Rowan. Definitely much better for a boy than a girl.

It reminds me strongly of Lord of the Rings--even though that's Rohan.

My cousin has a son named Rowan. I think it's a great name for a boy.

I love the name. Good and strong.

I love it for a boy (not for a girl).

It reminds me of the Stan Rogers song Witch of the Westmoreland:

Pale was the wounded knight, that bore the Rowan shield,
Loud and cruel were the ravens' cries that feasted on the field.

That song gives the image of Rowan as a brave strong knight.

Strongly dislike. Rowing a boat....

Great for a boy. Horrible for a girl.

I love this name for a boy. However, the growing popularity for the name as a girls name has made me decide against it. The girl that cuts my hair named her little girl Rowan two years ago and I have since heard several others. Really disappointing!
