[Opinions] Lowen
I’d like to hear opinions on the name Lowen! We’re expecting a baby girl in January and need some help. Older brother is River but I don’t really care about sibling names matching

It's not my style - seems so modern and so similar to other popular names - but it is not an unpleasant sounding name.I agree with the other posters that it reads like a boys' name. Lowyn might cue that it's feminine.You've probably considered Rowan.
What about, umm, Calla.
Or Olive even?
I feel like there's a name I'm trying to suggest but I can't quite thik of it. It's not Lauren... Maybe it's Olwen??

I don't like it for a girl, I've only known a couple of boys Lowen or Loen

I'm not much of a fan for a girl, as it's a name outside of my culture, and I don't feel too comfortable changing that personally. I also think Lowenna is an amazing, beautiful choice that would be a perfect alternative! Or maybe Rowan as a more neutral choice with a similar sound. Maybe Arwen or Anwen?

I like the sound of Lowen, but it definitely reads as masculine to me. What about Elowen?

The Lowens I know are all boys (it’s not an uncommon name where I live). Lowena / Lowenna is the usual female version - I prefer that for a girl.How about Merryn?
