Help[Opinions] Rowena
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I wish it could be pronounced any way but row-EE-na, which sounds so silly to me! I usually end up saying RO-enn-a, like Rowan, or row-ENN-na.
I don't think I know anyone personally who's butchered the pronunciation of their name, though. Poor Chloe; Chlo is horrible.

agree as well
I love Rowena pron. with an open "eh" sound as in "bet", rather than with a long -ee sound.

Is it ro-ENN-a if you spell it Rowenna?

Probably. After all, Morwenna is mor-WEN-na, and Rowenna is very similar.
Of course, now we're kree8ivleigh spelling/inventing a name to get to a deliberate mispronunciation!

Oh, good one. I was crushed when I learned it was row-EE-na. I had been saying (and loving) ROW-en-na for years.
I hate row-EE-na. It's so...whiny.

Ditto, I thought row-ENN-a was right too
