scaredmommy (1027.1 days ago) 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.
hiddenkitten (1031.8 days ago) I like it spelled ROENN :)
youngbaby (1032.8 days ago) I agree with lovefranky, `Rowan` seems feminine. Id go with Roan.
scaredmommy (1032.9 days ago) 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.

This is an image of a Roan tree which is pronounced just like the other spelling. Roan is also a color.
lovefranky (1033 days ago) I think Rowan in feminine, but it would be cool for a boy spelled Roan.
jenakers (1033 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.
Lookalike (1033 days ago) Roan is a tree, I would spell it like the tree
