I myself did not know that Rowan was a boys name at all. My name is Billie, and growing up, it could be a little annoying, but for the most part, people didn't focus on it being a boys name, they were happier to sing Michael Jacksons Billie Jean is not my lover to me. But now that I am older, I like my name because there are not many women with it. Although there are a lot of men named Billy. When I go to the doctor, most people that call me back in the office, are looking for a male to respond, and I stand up instead. Over all it hasn't been to bad though, so if you like it, go with it. It is difficult to choose names that both of you agree on. We knew that if we had a daughter her first name would be Trinity, but we couldn't decide on the middle name, and it took a very long time for us to agree on a boys name. Just say it out loud, and see how it sounds to you. My husband didn't like the name we chose for our son, until I said it out loud, and then he loved it and wouldn't consider anything else for him. Mason...some people like it, some people ask if he will be building brick houses, but I don't care, cuz we like it and that is all that matters.
