Girl name or boy name?

[domestichuman]

Hello, just wondering what you all think of the name Rowan, middle name Kate, for a girl name? Just wondering if you think it's more of a boy name, or if it can commonly be used for a girl. My OH is from England and we will be raising the baby there, but I am Canadian so am unfamiliar with the naming conventions

TIA!

Think it sounds lovely for either, although I know a guy called Rowan.
Rowanna for a pretty little lady perhaps? x

Either personally, my sisters name is Bethany Rowan and it really suits her, I wanted it in our little girls name when she arrives but OH thinks it's more a boys name. If you like it hun go for it x
