They're a *little* similar but I think they'd be OK for siblings, especially if Gwen is short for something else, e.g. Gwendolyn.

I like Owen, but it's just getting too popular, sadly. I like Owen Geoffrey in that spelling.

I don't see a problem with it, for mother and son. As siblings, I'd say no.

---

As for the name itself, I don't care for it. I just think it's very unflattering sounding.

This just came into my mind: "Oh, win for goodness sake!" :)

I love Owen.

---

And I don't think your name is too close to it for it to cause problems (and it's not like you're siblings, anyways).

---

Owen Jeffrey is nice, but unless you're really partial to that spelling, I prefer Owen Geoffrey. I think it goes better aesthetically with Owen (well, that and I just prefer that spelling anyways).

In writing, they appear too similar, but I don't think their pronunciations are that similar. I still wouldn't use them together, though.

Go Cubs! Especially my "boyfriend" Mark Prior. Yay, he's back! :)

I don't think they are. I like Owen :)

I don't think they're too close at all. The pronunciations are completely different!
And I LOVE both names! :-D
Jeffery is nms, though...what about:
Owen Miles
Owen Jude
Owen Alistair
Owen Julius?

Actually not at all. I like it!

It looks somewhat similar, but the pronounciations are completely different - so I'd go for it. Besides, you'd be mother & son - not siblings so I don't think it should matter at all. Furthermore, my DH loves Owen and so I've developed a real soft spot for it.
