What are your thoughts on Owen?
Any associations or connotations that come to mind?

I'm not concerned about Owen Jones as I don't think the name is unique enough to immediately make you think of only one person.
I am wondering if it's TOO welsh though? Would it seem odd to use in SE England? I wonder if people will question why we've chosen a name when we have no association with Wales.

I don't think it's exclusively Welsh though, my grandfather was from Eastern England and no Welsh connections, and that was over 100 years ago he was given the name. Especially not with the Anglicised spelling.
