[Opinions] Re: Owen
Owen is a terrific name. I'm happy to see it is being rediscovered. Owen and Lila (prefer non-Biblical looking ending) would be a nice sibling set. For a mn, something medieval seems in order:Owen Thomas
Owen Geoffrey
Owen Bartholomew
Owen Francis
Owen Edward
Owen Piers / Pearce
Owen Nigel
Owen Cedric
Owen Guy
Owen Thaddeus
Owen Roger
Owen Jasper
Owen Gareth
Owen Rhys
Owen Walter
Owen Hugh
Owen Angus
Owen Kenneth
Owen Magnus
Owen Alistair
Owen Desmond
Owen Fergus
Good luck!
Owen

Sorry, but what do you mean by Biblical looking ending?

This is not scientific by any means, but whenever I see an "-ah" at the end of a name, I think of Biblical names like Delilah, Hadassah, Tovah, Deborah, Hannah, Leah, Sarah, Susannah, Micah, Jeremiah, Elijah, etc. Lila fits into a different category in my mind, old fashioned names popular in Victorian / Edwardian times. Of course there are exception to this, it's just a general preference in my own mind. When I see Lilah, I ask myself, "where's the 'De-' part?"
