I don't really like it, but there are worse names. It reminds me of "bone".

I really like it! It has significance to me too because it's the name of an historical mill where I grew up that was where we had our wedding reception. :)

I know I used to have some killer Bowen combos before I lost all my stuff on my computer. :*( I think I paired it with either nice guy names or swashbuckling names. Like Bowen Benjamin or Bowen Balthazar. Not necessarily alliterated. Ha

My sister is in college and is always talking about her classmate named Bowen. Apparently, he's wonderful. Since that's my only impression of the name, I don't hate it. She doesn't know his middle name though.

Some random ideas:

---

Bowen Augustine
Bowen Joss
Bowen Tierney
Bowen Hadley
Bowen Dashiell
Bowen Asher
Bowen Luke
Bowen Finn
Bowen Harris
Bowen Granville
Bowen Alexander
Bowen Flynn
Bowen Graham
Bowen Enzo
Bowen Keir
Bowen James
Bowen Leandro
Bowen Murray
Bowen Miles
Bowen Cole
Bowen Willoughby
Bowen Evander
Bowen Shiloh
Bowen Spencer
Bowen Finch
Bowen Oliver
Bowen Shea
Bowen Darcy
Bowen Pax
Bowen Adriel

It's more of a surname than a first name in my opinion.

---

Bowen Jerome
Bowen Garfield
Bowen Reed
Bowen Ivan
Bowen Willard
Bowen Carl
Bowen Jeremy
Bowen Miles
Bowen Lucas
Bowen August
Bowen Wilbur
Bowen Robert
Bowen Gwynn
Bowen Alfred
Bowen Morris
Bowen Rowley
Bowen Arthur
Bowen Eifion
Bowen Maverick
Bowen Thomas
Bowen Anselm
Bowen Michael

Cute! It kind of reminds me of Rowan. I'd pair it with:

---

Matthew
Alexander
Ephraim
Michael

There are actually many names that would work with it, although I would stay away from middle names that have a similar ending (en, on, in, etc.)

Congratulations! Normally I'm not into surnames as first names. But this one reminds me of Elizabeth Bowen, an Irish writer whom I love. Plus, I love the name Bo on a boy. So overall Bowen has a hazy, warm glow for me. Thumbs up. I would stick with a more conventional middle name, but it's a minor point. Good luck!

Bowen Edward
Bowen Lucas
Bowen Patrick
Bowen Christopher

Bowen Kendrick
Bowen Arthur
Bowen Rex
Bowen Frederick
Bowen Peter
Bowen Heath
Bowen Keith
Bowen Gregory
Bowen Nathaniel
Bowen Thomas
Bowen Evander
Bowen David (wait, David Bowie and androgynous space outfits is killing this one for me)
Bowen Matthew

I'm sorry all I think about is "bowling"

---

Try
Rowen or Bo\Beau perhaps

It sounds like the word "bone," which people use to mean sex.

Bowen Lennox
Bowen Erasmus
Bowen Alexander
Bowen Theodore

I don't like it since it means son of Owen and if the father's name is not Owen I can't see the point of it. I have the same attitude to Harrison and Jackson. Besides, the "Bowen arrow" tease would get wearisome.

It sounds a little bit too much like "bone." I know, I'm too sensitive to things like this, and it reflects badly on me... in real life I would notice the soundalike, but I would not give it enough thought to bother smirking. It'd just be a guy's name, just another surname name, decent.

Bowen James (if you don't mind BJ initials)
Bowen Tybalt

Nope. Don't like it. Reminds me of Boeing
