Every other kid is Rowan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302498 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:57:20 +0000 birdofafeather 2302498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girl Rowan and I LOVE her name. I voted for both though because I know both boys and girls named Rowan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302490 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:50:36 +0000 ldh112 2302490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seen it used for both! I love it as a boy option for us (we have a girl) but my husband doesn't feel the same. Go for it either way! Super cute name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302482 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:48:41 +0000 catlady 2302482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always assumed it was a girl name but DH's friend recently had a baby boy and named him Rowan so I guess unisex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302451 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:25:39 +0000 erinpye 2302451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302443 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:23:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2302443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "both", because it's one of those names where if I saw it on a class list and had to guess, I wouldn't be AT ALL confident I was guessing correctly (boy or girl). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302324 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:30:18 +0000 littlebug 2302324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know of 2 or 3 Rowans, all girls. To me, it's a girl's name. But when I suggested it to Hubs, he said, "Isn't that a boy's name?" Sooo... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302323 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:30:16 +0000 hummusgirl 2302323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! We're having a boy so your responses make me really happy. I loved the name for a girl and wanted to make sure it was still legitimately just as much a boy's name in people's minds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302320 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:28:27 +0000 lamariniere 2302320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there is at least one of each here on HB! I had never really heard the name before, so it's unisex for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302272 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:57:55 +0000 NovBaby1112 2302272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it can go either way, love the name! We were considering it for our boy but it is too close to my cousins sons name, Roman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302265 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:55:48 +0000 jmarionsmith 2302265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my son's name so... :wink: </p> <p>It's a great name, either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302233 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:32:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2302233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's unisex, but I voted girl because it was high on my girl's name list for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302230 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:30:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 2302230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it's a more masculine sounding name to me, and I would assume a Rowan would be a boy, but I know both boys and girls with that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302229 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:27:44 +0000 meredithNYC 2302229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can go either way. I really like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302227 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:26:52 +0000 Mamasig 2302227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a boy named Rowan but I think of it as more of a girl name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302224 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:25:57 +0000 Freckles 2302224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know Rowan as both a boy and girl. I prefer it for girls though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302218 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:22:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2302218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think both but think of it more as a girls name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302201 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:10:21 +0000 petitenoisette 2302201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: same here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302197 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:08:59 +0000 sera_87 2302197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rowan for boy, Rowen for girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302188 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:05:51 +0000 Smurfette 2302188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always think boy, but I know it can be used for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302184 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:05:03 +0000 Truth Bombs 2302184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted boy just because I think a "both" vote doesn't help much. I definitely think is can be a unisex name, but if I saw it written down on a class list or something, I would assume boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302166 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:58:41 +0000 erinbaderin 2302166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know both a boy and a girl Rowan, both under 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302163 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:57:44 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2302163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted both but I only know one person named Rowan and it's a little girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302162 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:57:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2302162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose unisex. But it was a name I considered for DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302154 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:55:28 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2302154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it can go both!!</p> <p>I love it for a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rowan-boy-or-girl#post-2302152 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:54:57 +0000 MrsSCB 2302152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it can be either, although it is our top choice for any girl we may have. Love the name! </p>
