原文: My name is Rowena. Pronounced "Row-EE-na".I wasn't a huge fan of it when I was younger and my sisters called me Weena for years.I was nicknamed Rowie (pronounced "Roh-wee) when I was born and personally I love this name.It's unusual and nobody gets it right the first time but I don't know any other Rowena/ Rowie's!I receive compliments on my name and people are always asking where it originates from.

翻译文: Rowena的名字只是给了2015年出生在美国的12个女孩。应该更频繁地使用!
原文: The name Rowena was only given to 12 girls born in the US in 2015. It should be used more often!

翻译文: 如此美丽。我想象一个女王或一个贵族女人,当我听到这个名字。可惜它现在不使用。
原文: So beautiful. I imagine a queen or a noble woman when I hear this name. A pity it isn't used nowadays.
原文: I always used to like this name until I heard it pronounced. Ro-weena sounds like a pig oinking, frankly. Row-enna or even Ro-way-na would be much better.
原文: This is my middle name (I'm English, born early 80s) and I began using it as my main name almost a decade ago due to its beauty and mysterious historical origins. I pronounce it ro-WEN-na purely because it sounds more elegant than ro-WEE-na. Family and friends often shorten it to 'Row' (pronounced 'roe') for ease of use, though I'd rather they didn't as that totally eradicates the beauty of the sound.

翻译文: 从十二世纪的历史法规的各种拼写不列颠:Ronwen,Renwein和Romwenna。
原文: Various spellings from the twelfth century Historia regum Britanniae: Ronwen, Renwein and Romwenna.
原文: Nennius apparently names the daughter of Hengest as Romwenna. At this level however the genealogies are much later fabrications (giving Saxon pedigrees to families which were originally British), and the only known Rom- names of the era are clear adaptations of Romanus and Romulus. E.A. Freeman (A History of the Norman Conquest) describes Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Rowena" as "a later absurdity".
原文: This name is really lovely, and I love the Ravenclaw connection. If I ever use this for a daughter, though, I might spell it Rowenna, so it would be pronounced ro-EN-na, which I find a bit more appealing.
原文: So the name 'Rowena' was chosen by my mother, who was reading Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe at the time. If you're thinking of naming you daughter this, consider these points carefully:1. For much of highschool, my nickname was Weiner, or Weinder-dog. Charming.2. It has the word 'Wee' in it.3. My current nickname is 'Ravenclaw' from the Harry Potter novels.4. People always spell it wrong.If you still like the sound of the name, perhaps change the spelling, or just use a different nickname. I got 'Rena' which I didn't mind.

翻译文: Rowena的美丽!在我看来,比罗恩更好,更漂亮。它是华丽。
原文: Rowena's beautiful! So much nicer and prettier than Rowan, in my opinion. It's gorgeous.
原文: Wow. Well that's depressing. I personally love this name; I like many names that start with "R" (excluding Rachel). Like a previous user said, it sounds beautiful and mysterious, and, yes, a little dark as well. But still pretty.

翻译文: 我一直认为这是发音row-EN-nah。 Ro-WEE-nah听起来真的很蠢。
原文: I always thought it was pronounced row-EN-nah. Ro-WEE-nah sounds really silly.
原文: In the Barbie in Fairytopia and Barbie in Mermaidia, Rowena was an evil person trying to poison everybody so they would bow down to her.Also in Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses, there is the king's evil cousin named Rowena. Her title is Dutchess Rowena. The king can't handle his daughters so he calls Rowena for help. Rowena takes fun of the king's daughters. Rowena also poisons the king so everyone will bow down to her.Rowena is a beautiful name, but everyone is using it for someone evil. I really like the name Rowena.
原文: We Americans use that word too (usually redoubled, as is often the case with you, in my experience).Just what word do you use for the first person plural nominative pronoun. Does the word "we" put you off too?
原文: I think most people on this website are American. Am I right? I guess that's why nobody has commented on the fact that the name includes the word 'wee' . Which is really quite off-putting especially if you're English.
