15. Owen

Though it sounds trendy with its two-syllable, vowel-heavy sound, this resonant Celtic name is thoroughly traditional. It’s derived from the Welsh Owain, which is connected with the Greek Eugene, meaning “well-born.” Owen was the 25th most popular baby boy name in the US in 2019, up three places from the previous year. Variations include the Irish Eoin or Eoghan, which are pronounced exactly the same as Owen, and the Scottish Ewan.
