My brother's name is Koen, very unique I love his name and it fits really well with mine and it is getting a bit more popular but no one has the same spelling however we don't pronounce it koon we say köen [pronounced ko•IN]
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.
