Our daughter`s name is Brea and we have people we don`t know pronouncing it wrong all the time. We pronounce it like the word Idea. I think Roan looks better and more unique. To me Roan and Rowan are pronounced the same the only difference might be that people would stress the w in Rowan and the o in Roan.

I like it spelled ROENN :)

To me, they are very different sounding names, like Jenakers, Roan to me would be pronounced like Joan with an R, whereas Rowan is pronounced as it sounds... Just for ease to your child for the future, if you wanted the child`s name to sound like Rowan, I`d spell it that way.

I agree with lovefranky, `Rowan` seems feminine. Id go with Roan.

Rowan is Gaelic meaning little red head. Roan is the variant of Rowan. It is a very rare boys name. Roan is more rare than Rowan. Both are pronounced the same as far as I know.

I think Rowan in feminine, but it would be cool for a boy spelled Roan.

jenakers (218.8 days ago)
Roan in my head sounds like Joan with an `R` Rowan sounds like R-ow-an. The spelling changes how it sounds to me. I`m not sure which sound you are going for.

Roan is a tree, I would spell it like the tree

  7. I`m at 19 weeks, and just had my 20 week ultrasound a week early (thank you THANKSGIVING!!), am overjoyed to find out everything is A OK BUT I have `marginal Placenta previa` my midwife says she`s NOT concerned and that it will VERY VERY VERY likely move up on its own and I can deliver naturally and vaginally as planned, if not I have to have the dreaded C-section. Which i`m SO terrified over I get into a panic every time i think about it. So, my question is: Has anyone here HAD marginal placenta previa and had it move up by the time the baby is born?
