Love Dean! Very crisp and smart. Owen is okay. Owen Dean flows nicely.

I like Dean, but more as a middle name.

---

Owen is nice, but I'm getting tired of hearing it.

---

And yes, I think Owen Dean flows nicely.

Wow this name is all over the place lately.

---

Yeah it's cool. Very vivid, very dark-and-lean. For me it is an immediate sort of name, like a lot of attention gets sucked into those four letters, does that make sense? Like a person in the room that doesn't say anything but everyone is aware of. Of course I also am close a person named Dean who is like this.

Owen Dean is fine but pretty boring IMO.

Dean is a fine name. It's probably not one that would grab me as a favorite for a first name, but I'm thinking now that, as a middle name, Dean just might brighten some first names that aren't usually my style...maybe something say like Satchel or Edgar or Bertram or Cedrick or Ignatius.

---

Satchel Dean
Edgar Dean
Bertram Dean
Cedrick Dean
Ignatius Dean (nope, not helping me even a little here...hehe)

---

And now these are popping into my head, but they are names I like outright already:

---

Jasper Dean
Axel Dean
Campbell Dean (have Campbell Dane on my list from long ago, but I like this far better; whatever was I thinking?!)

---

As for your Owen Dean, I think it flows very nicely and I don't find it boring at all. :)

Dean. Strong. Masculine. Handsome. And a surname that is palatable. I like the idea of using it as a first name. Owen I'm getting tired of though Owen Dean flows well. Its just not as striking as Dean himself.

I've always disliked Dean. I always think of beans when I hear it. It's respectable, I suppose, but certainly doesn't appeal to me.

I never thought of that one, but it does make a nice middle name especially. Less old than John or Luke or Mark, less popular than Jack, not overused like James. I like it. Owen Dean sounds good to me, but I'm not sold on how it looks as both names are four letters and end in 'n'. Could still be okay though if your last name is a bit longer and doesn't end in 'n'.

Owen Dean's nice. I like Owen and I'm loving Dean especially as a middle name. I have an uncle Philip Dean and my combo is Samuel Dean.

rather neutral on Dean... Nice that it's not too overused... Wouldn't pair it w/ Owen though... 2 names ending in n in a row doesn't sound so hot.

Dean goes well as a middle name with a lot of names, but I don't think it sounds right with Owen because both names are really short.

i love Dean... :D
