[Opinions] Re: Rowan
Rowan is on my favourites list for both boys and girls. My preference is for a female, but yes, it makes for a good male name. This might sound strange, but I probabably wouldn't like Rowan in your context, because I'd assume you'd chosen it on principle (its being unisex), and to me that's a bad reason for choosing a name._____________________________________________________________________"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true."Elinor

I like Rowan on its own, and not simply because it's a "unisex" name.

Well, the fact that it's "unisex" can't be argued. (I read the inverted commas as implying it's *not* actually unisex, which it clearly is: it's widely used on both sexes, and that's that. Sorry if that's not what you meant.)Fine if you like Rowan in its own right. But because of the emphasis you put on the gender question in your post, and your stance on this in general, I'd still assume you were using it to make a point. I just think that's a bad reason for choosing a name._____________________________________________________________________"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true."Elinor
