[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I quite like both and have never met a Rowan of either gender. Uncommon but legit! Love the misogyny of everyone saying "Rowan is used for girls so you shouldn't use it for a boy even though it's historically been a boys' name." Like a name being used for girls somehow taints it (clearly this view doesn't go the other way, since "boy" names are used for girls all the time).[/quote] Yeah, but wouldn't you want to know, if you were a first-time parent, if a boy's name you are considering is mostly being used by girls? At least bake that knowledge into your decision. True story, in the late 70s, I knew both a male Ashley and a male Shannon (both little boys). Because of misogyny or for other reasons, both were going by other names/middle names by their teen years and are still using those alternate name in adulthood. I know two male Rohans, FWIW.[/quote]
