He's named after Owen's father

Robert Andrew Wilson is Owen's father's name.
While I'm not a big fan of Robert, it's better than Ford and gets an extra point for honoring.

Good.

But why didn't they name him Robert in the first place?

Although I do know the tabloids sometimes misreport celebrities' kids' names. They did when Britney Spears had her second son.

The other name was never officially confirmed from them or their rep, so I assume it was just a rumor. Or maybe he looks like his grandfather and they changed their mind before filing a birth certificate.

I saw comments to the effect that he was named after Robert Ford on other sites, so I thought I'd clear it up. It is possible that they chose the middle name with that in mind, to make it more 'fun'.
Robert Wilson is also the name of a theater director.
