What version of Owen??

[gokeyyourself]

I'm Welsh/Irish so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I know I want a type of Owen as DC name if a boy but what version/corresponding name - What do you think??

Owen
Owain ( said like Oh-wine - and the 'original' owen name)
Eoghan/ Eóghan
Eoin (I know it is John but the irish version is said like owen so I feel I could do it)

Owain definatly.

I like the spelling Eoin, but I know quite a few people who use this spelling, and even some Irish people have trouble pronouncing this version. Owain is nice. The Irish for John is Sean, I think.

No, OP right, the older tradition is that Eoin is the Irish version of John.

I like Owain best.

Caveat: as long as you are sure if the pronunciation.

I'm Irish too, and love Welsh names. I wouldn't use one for fear of pronouncing it wrong.

Owen

I like Owain. (actually prefer the way it is said compared to how owen sounds)
Though Eoin is okay. Would you spell it with a fada on the i ? if yes I like the look of it better
yet I can't stand Eóghan

Just wanted to add that Eoin is also pronounced as Ian in Scotland. I'm Scottish living in Ireland but would go for Eoin or Eoghan.

Eoín?

That would be pronounced Oh-ween

Terrible

Does anyone spell it like that?

Although, I suppose that spelling does have a narrow n sound at the end, so perhaps Oh-ween isn't that far out.

shecutoff two of my cousins are Eoín.

but without is definatly more common

Ah, thanks. Never seen that spelling before. :)

Will DC have an obvious irish or welsh surname (eg an O' or Mc or something like Gruffydd, Rhydderch, Bevan) If so maybe have the oposite owen.
So with welsh surname have Eoin or Eoghan
With Irish one have Owain.

If not obvious then I like Eoin or Owain.

Owain

I think Owen is the nicest.

Owen

Owen. Owain is lovely, but I fear you would constantly be correctly the pro-nounciation
