It's hard for me to imagine anyone wanting that as their given first name. Maybe a few eccentric folks might adopt it when they were grown. It looks a little bit comic ... since it rhymes/looks like looney and goony. The surname is the second thing I think of. Mostly it just seems sort of nerdy, along the lines of Creighton or Campbell, not a very imagey name so much as a name that's so surnamey, it's like he doesn't even really have a first name. It's alright, but not my style at all.

I googled and there are at least two Rooney Bells with social media profiles. Wow. I have never seen Rooney used as a first name before.

Olwen is feminine as far as I'm concerned. Alwen?
I'm not thrilled by initials ROB or the sound of Rooney O. Bell. Maybe Rooney Vaughn instead of Van?
