I like the name Owen for a boy. It has increased in popularity but isn't over used.

Owen is the name of the main character in 'A Prayer For Owen Meany'. Nice, weird book. :3

I really like this name. It's cute for a little boy. And very mature and strong for an adult.

I love the name Owen. I love the Arthurian Legend connotations as well. :)

Nice name. Can also be "Bowen", a Welsh surname meaning obviously, 'son of Owen'. I much prefer Bowen!

Owen Harper, a rather promiscuous doctor on the television show (and Doctor Who spin-off) Torchwood.

I rather like this name. I sounds so sane and normal compared to some of the crap people come up with or suddenly start liking. It sounds mature and dignified enough for a grown-up, and a guy named Owen won't be discriminated against because of his name, unlike some guys named LeShaun or DaQuan sure will. It's too damn popular for my taste, but it's a nice enough name. It doesn't even remind me of annoying frat boys.

This name sounds so dumb. It's like people are just trying to be dumb when they name their kids this. It sounds really stupid.

I like this name. Even though it's overused now, it certainly sounds more mature, in my opinion, than a lot of the crap that some people name their sons. However, I don't like the Owen Wilson association.

This is currently my favorite name for a boy. It's not harsh-sounding, but neither is it unisex. A boy can carry the name all throughout his adulthood.

In my opinion, the name Owen fits a kind, happy-go-lucky sort of guy. A guy who's always smiling and laughing, and laid back. For some reason, the name Owen reminds me of a blonde guy; or maybe a guy with dirty-blonde or strawberry-blonde hair.

There is a character named Dr Owen Hunt on 'Grey's Anatomy'. Prior to that, I always thought of Owen as a little kid name, but now I think that it works well for an adult too.

This is the best name I have ever seen in my life.

Cute for a boy yet great for a man. It's quite nice. :)
-- Chrila96  12/7/2010
A famous bearer is King Owen the Irish King. Also, my name is Owen and it means "Born To Nobility".

I like the name Owen. It's a cute name for a little boy but at the same time a handsome and strong name for a man. I think I would use it as a middle name, though, rather than a first. There are just so many little Owens running around now.
-- Anonymous User  4/11/2011
I've concluded that Owen means "a youth well-born of the yew tree." All its meanings have to do with birth and age.
-- Atarah Derek  4/20/2011
Owen's a handsome name. It's really cute on a little boy, but not to the point where you can't imagine it on an old man.

If I am not mistaken, Cass Elliot from The Mamas and the Papas had a daughter named Owen.
