I have to say I can’t stand this name. I first heard it after someone I knew called their boy Koen. I think it sounds really harsh and brash. It sounds strange but I can’t imagine someone kind being called Koen.

I really like this name. It is a shame that some people assume that it is connected to Kohen/Cohen and thus offensive. Different cultures often have similar sounding names with different meanings. However, giving a child a name that a certain percentage of the population will be offended by seems burdensome. Not sure.

Awful name, regardless if you pronounce it as Coon or as Co-en (Cohen).

The Dutch name Koen has nothing to do with Kohanim Jews or The OC! In Dutch Koen is another word for brave or bold.

I have seen this name pronounced KO-en and also spelt Cohen, Coen, and Kohen.

Cohen/Kohen/Koen is incredibly offensive as a forename. Cohen is the last name of the Kohanim Jews. It should not be used as a first name. And people are using this as a name because of that stupid show The OC. I absolutely hate that show, and the character with the name was pretty annoying.
