Question: Is 'Roland' a girl name or a boy name!? Both!?
I'm writing a book, (It's sad because a friend has cancer, maybe dies, etc!.) and the main character, Tiger Lillie, (The story title is 'Tiger Lillies in Bloom,' because that's the story of a blooming friendship between two opposites, and also the hardships of some people's lives) so TIger Lillie has a little sister, named Nettie, and another one named Winter, and another named Kiki, and I like the name Roland for Kiki's middle name!. Only I'm not sure if it's a boy name or a girl name! I don't mind if it's a boy name; I'll still use it, but I'm not positive!. IF YOU HAVE ANY NEW NAMES, TELL ME!.!.!. PLEASE!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some parents use for their child's middle name a family surname, or naming after a grandparent or great-grandparent, so it's entirely plausible that a girl would have a middle name of Roland!.

I like the name Roland!.
