This name is not overly common, but I do like the look and sound. I consider it to be the more mature version of Owen. The “pine tree” meaning is interesting as well.
I love this name so much! The meaning is wonderful! If I was a boy, I would want this to be my name! Ori is the perfect nickname, and I would totally use this name! See my comment for Ori.
It's unique, at least here in Kentucky. A friend of mine in middle school had this name, though he went by Michael. He was the only Jewish person in the school, and was nice (though apparently had some sort of head injury).

Oren is the perfect name for a December baby. Oren means "pine tree". An easy, natural nickname for Oren is "Ori" or "Orey", which means "light". So, for December babes, you have a little "lighted pine tree" in honor of Christmas.
