Owen or Nolan

[jacquie821]

Coming down to the wire and we keep going back between the two -aaahh! Was hoping to get some advice .. Middle name will be James and last name is K___er. I know Owen is popular, but we don't know any, so that's not really a deciding factor to me... I just want a good solid name for what most likely will be our little blonde haired, blue eyed boy... Any thoughts from the group would be much appreciated!!

I love Owen! It's such a great name.

I don't think you can go wrong with either name. They are both very nice. I would go with Nolan, though, because I think it's a very handsome name that isn't overused. Owen always makes me think "Oh, when?", which isn't necessarily a bad association, and probably one not many people will have.

I like them both but know 2 girl Nolan's so I am starting to think girl even though it has always been all boy.

I like both, but Nolan is higher on my own list. While I don't rule out Owen because of popularity, I do like that I haven't known any Nolans - but everyone seems to know the name. I think both sound handsome and strong and modern without being trendy.

I love Nolan the most, and Nolan James is actually on my list! But I think they both sound great.

Nolan. Both have great meanings. Both have same 'feel', but Nolan is less common.
