[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Rowena?
in reply to a message by mika
I love Rowena pronounced "ro-WEN-uh" but dislike it pronounced "ro-WEEN-uh." Rowen and Wennie (Winnie) are sweet nns too. I think it's only subject to teasing when pronounced with the "WEEN" part.I didn't even think about Harry Potter but then again I'm really not all that familiar with HP characters - never read the books and have only seen the first 3 movies

The ro-WEEN-uh pronunciation isn't too appealing, is it? I prefer pronouncing the name as ro-WHEY-nuh.Regardless of how you pronounce it, I don't think one would be subject to teasing because of the name, or that the Harry Potter association is too strong.
