[Opinions] Owen

I'm having a name fling at the moment. I haven't been set on having top names or thinking about them for a while, but when I do lately, it's more in terms of how the name would sound on a real child with its future last name than just liking the combo because unfortunately, a lot of names I like just sound odd with my boyfriend's last name. Starts with a K sound, long U sound, one syllable and some other consonants in there, too. So something like Luke sounds atrocious. But I think Owen has some strong appeal there, and I have a soft spot for O names but Oliver is out completely. It's not common around here at all but it is easily recognizable.

WDYT, but more importantly -- comboo suggestions pretty please! TIA.

#Owen

Christopher is my boyfriend's name, so that's already on my list! :) I love Henry as a name, but Oh Henry! is not optimal haha, though I guess O. Henry isn't too bad. Thanks.
