Famous for: Being the firstborn daughter of actress and model Brooke Shields and her husband, Chris Henchy; also being the catalyst for Brooke deciding to write a book about the postpartum depression she experienced after Rowan's birth.
Names:Brooke explains Rowan's name in her book, Down Came The Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression. She says,
We had chosen the name Rowan months ago...[but] it sounded strange to hear it out loud. I began wondering if we had made the right choice. Rowan is a Gaelic word meaning 'little red one.' We chose the name because we loved the sound of Irish names and there was folklore surrounding it. It was the name of a huge oak tree where roots went deep. In addition, Rowan Mayfair, the heroine in Anne Rice's 'The Witching Hour,' is one of my favorite characters in any book.

Francis is after my father, who lost his battle with prostate cancer a few weeks before Rowan's birth. He knew about her middle name.

 
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, 42, was spotted leaving the opening of Serge Normant at John Frieda with her son James Wilkie, 4 1/2, on Tuesday in New York City. James was looking dapper in his tie!
