When you hear the name rowan, do you think boy or girl?
-
Honestly, I think gender neutral. I know two boy Rowans, but also am aware of a few girl Rowans.
I like the name for either! -
My stepson is Roan, which I think is masculine. The w in Rowan feminizes it a little for me personally.
-
My first reaction is boy. I love it!
-
I think of it as a boy's name. I have never met a girl named Rowan yet but I am sure it could work. I think the person makes the name special.
-
I find it completely neutral, and I love it for both.
-
Neither! I know a boy & girl, and I like it both ways.
-
I like that it's neutral and I like it for both! I love gender neutral names and I know quite a few Rowans who are boys.
-
Neutral! I knew a Roan! Love it.
-
Boy springs to mind first.
-
I think it's gender neutral. I'm considering it for a girl.
-
I think neutral, and I love the name.
-
It's gender neutral to me but I like Rowan for a girl and Roan for a boy as a previous poster mentioned!
-
Seeing as it's my son's name, I think boy!
But there is another bee with an adorable little girl named Rowan.
-
I used to think boy. But all of the Rowan/roenne's I know are girls.
-
@jmarionsmith: representing!
well, i obviously LOVE it as a girl's name, but it's pretty general neutral to me and know of a couple boy Rowans!
-
Boy. It's on our list for a potential name if our next one is a boy.
-
I think girl.
-
I would assume boy first.
-
Boy
-
Boy
-
Neutral. But the only Rowan I know of IRL is a boy.
-
Boy!
-
It's pretty much our number one pick for a girl! I like Ronan for a boy (generally I mean, we wouldn't use both lol).
-
Both! There are two HB cutie pies with that name - one boy, one girl!
-
Boy!
DS has a Rowan in his class
-
Both! I think that Rowan feels like a boy name and Row (NN) feels more feminine.
-
I think girl, only because that's the name of a female character in one of my favorite books. BUT I know it's gender neutral and can be used for both!
-
Ive heard it for girls but always thought it sounded more masculin to me.
-
1st thought is boy. It's cute!
-
I think of @birdofafeather:
but before that cutie, I thought of boy. I think it's a great nongendered name!
-
I always assumed girl. But I just found out that an acquaintance had a baby boy the other day and named him Rowan, so that changes things.
-
I know of 2 girl Rowans and one boy Rowan. But I also know a boy Harper, so...
-
I think it's pretty gender neutral, I have a boy cousin Rowan and friend with a girl daughter that name. Like it for both.
-
It's a boys' name that has recently been used a lot for girls. Definitely consider it.
-
Neutral
-
I think it's neutral. I like it!
-
Gender neutral! I know both and think its works great
-
Neutral. Super cute.
-
Girl
but before that cutie, I thought of boy. I think it's a great nongendered name!
