Owen or Evan?

[emmyloo2]

I like both these boy's names.

What do people think? Are either of them more popular than the other?

Thanks everybody. I have kind of decided in my head I prefer Evan....I don't think it is too popular in Australia and to be honest, I have given up worrying whether names are too popular or not because all the ones I like are inevitably popular.

Now I just have to wait 3 weeks to find out the sex and can then lock in the name!

edam my DH is called Dylan. So many people call him "Dillon" which really annoys him.

You can't blame people for saying 'Dillon' because it's become the normal pronunciation but it is bloody irritating that no-one knows better.

great choice emmy!

ooh yes, good choice! ds is Evan so obviously I'm biased but it is a lovely name. He likes being called Ifanbach occasionally too.

DS aged 11 has one of each as a mate!! Both are from welsh families I like both names because both of those boys are fab!!

Thanks edam and glittery...I have this feeling that's if it's a boy it will be Evan. I am loving it more and more.

I like Evan better than Owen. I had Evangeline on my girls shortlist and wanted to shorten that to Evan, but DH didn't agree.
