i like ROHAN he likes ROWAN.... they mean different things to depending on the spelling..
rohan means hapiness and healing
rowan means little red one..comes from rowan berry..
how would u all spell it? i like rohan coz its different.. i dont do normal lol wanted a different name and i think its different anyway but if ever we did meet another rowan i think it wud be spelt with a W as thats the normal way to spell it...

Well I think the Rohan with a 'h' has a more meaningful meaning-if that makes sense!
Also with a 'w' makes me think of the Mr Bean actor (is he Rowan Atkinson?) -not a bad thing but like you say that shows most Row/han's are spelt with a 'w'.Anyway lovely name whichever way you spelt it babe! x
rowan - ro-an phonetically
rohan - ro-h-an (or not phonetically rowan?) - two ways of saying it.
does that make sense? lol

My baby is Lillith, which is very very unusual and people spell it Lilleth and pronounce it wrong-however I love the fact she has a different name. I'm sure it will be Lilli or Lilly eventually but for now we are getting people used to her full name!

I dislike Rowan but love Rohan, but like the others has said with a emphasis on the H makes the name sound different, and as you have put the meaning Rohan is much nicer.
The way i figure is that your the one that actully has to give birth so your choice lol
Good luck persuading him

i realise you are not getting much help here as we all say diff things - but just to add all the Rowans i know have been girls - Rohan is definitely a more masculine name
good luck x
