Message: "Rowan or Rowena?" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Rowan or Rowena?

ok, so here's the problem. I love the name Rowan for a boy and Rowena (row-enn-ah) for a girl, but obviously, i can't use them both lol. I've always loved the name Rowan, but fear that it's becoming a bit too popular for my taste. Rowena is gorgeous, but i don't want people to think that I just made a feminine name out of a musculine name for the fun of it. What are your suggestions?

edited to add pronounciation of Rowena.
