I like it

I've never heard of it, so this was my immediate thought:

  • male and a misspelling of Owen

I personally don't like the OLW sound to it as feels like a mouthful. If you like it though, go for it.

I think it's really really pretty. I also like Arwen, Anwen and Oswin which have similar sort of sounds.

I like it but depends where you live.

It would seem quite old fashioned around here but it is very pretty.
If you're in welsh speaking community it would be lovely
