OK - after much to-ing and fro-ing (now v close to EDD!) we have narrowed our choice to either Owen or Rory - both with middle name Edward. Our DS1 is Ellis Robert - so wanted a similar 'feel' to that.

Any thoughts/preferences between the 2??

Any hidden pitfalls I've missed??

Thanks for your views xx

Rory.

If you say Ellis and Owen quickly(Ellis 'n' Owen), it could sound like 'Alison Owen'.
If you say Ellis and Rory, it flows better imo. Rory is v. cute - think my sister may be calling her next one that too.

Rory !

It's m fantasy baby name at the moment but I think it's getting quite common.

I like Owen too though

be careful with Rory as a name - might be prophetic

Owen, don't like Rory.
