to me, Rowan sounds like a boy name...

Rowan is a unisex name, sorry.

Rowan is absolutely gorgeous and so elegant-sounding! I adore it! Chloe and Emma are def. way too popular these days. Both of these names are getting old pretty quick and I don’t see them aging well because they’re too cutesy!!! Rowan is lovely and is really classy. Hannah goes nice with it.

Rowan is more popular as a boy’s name, but I like it for both.

My vote goes to Rowan Hannah, because I don’t like Chloe with Renee or Emma with Victoria.

Personally I hate Emma, but Rowan is nice.

If I were having twins, or a girl for that matter, I would want her to be able to be distinguished from the boys in her own home or in the outside world. Rowan is a popular boys name. You have elegant girls names already. I don’t understand why you want to tarnish that and give her a boys name. I am so sick of unisex names. Rowan was so great on boys and now I would never use it.

I like Chloe but I don’t like Renee.

Rowan started out as a girls name, hate to break it to you.

Really? You want to go into Gaelic name origins?
Rowan means "little red-head" it also is the name of a tree with red berries. It is related to the name Rohan, which is a BOYS name and means "red haired, red; ascending." Rowan was a surname.
Rowan didn’t even appear on the top 1000 baby names in the US for girls until 2003, at which time it was still gaining popularity for boys.

This is also from a website about Scotland:
The feminine name probably derives from the name of the tree: It has been fashionable at several times in recent centuries to name girls after plants
The masculine Rowan may be older, though we have not yet found an example before the mid 20th century [2]. It is an English spelling of the Gaelic masculine Rúadhán, pronounced \ROO-ahn\ [*]. This Gaelic name is recorded in early medieval Ireland, though it was not common, and may also have been used by Scottish Gaels [3, 4]. The Irish family name Ó Rúadháin "[male] descendent of Rúadhán" appears in English records c.1600 as O Ruane, O Roiwane, and O Roan. *O Rowan would not be at all surprising [5]. However, we have not found the given name Rowan in any language until the 20th century.

You consider it "unisex" so you shouldn’t get an attitude when people prefer it on boys.

hate to break it to you hon, but i believe you were just shut down!
