Stuck on these two names, I love both Owen was the first name I was going to pick, I also love Chester, which of the two do you prefer?

Owen is much nicer.

Owen. Really like Eoin spelling too.

Never ever Chester.

Chester. Owen is great but now just makes me think of Little Owen Jones (shudders). Owain I'd like.

Chester is a city so not that. I do come from there though so slightly biased.
owen has Welsh connotations

I think maybe because Chester sounds a bit brighter and Owen a bit more droney to my ear.

MassiveSalad22 · 05/07/2022 11:11

Chester! Just can’t get on board with Owen somehow

Owen is 100x nicer than Chester.
