How Rowan sounds

For the ear, Rowan is soft, round and flowing, which the scheme counts as a water sound. Rowan is on the way up in U.S. birth records, a name that is gaining ground. Rowan is used for girls and boys alike in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
The first sound of Rowan is made with the tip of the tongue, and the sound-element system used here counts that as fire. The sound of Rowan belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Rowan can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Rowan would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Rowan is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Rowan as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
