We have a Noah and are considering Owen as a name for baby brother. Are the names too similar sounding? Or do you think they fit together nicely?

Opinions, please!

Sure, sounds good to me. Not too similar at all.

You could call them collectively: "Oh No"

My test for sibling names is "How do they sound when I call them both for dinner?" "NOAHOWEN!!!" A little too flowy for me.

Both are great names, but a little too similar for my taste.

Cute! I like names with similar vowel sounds. But they are very close. Will the names trip you up?

+1. And also when you say one name, will the other think you're saying his name?

I like both names but a little too similar and easy to mush together. How about Ethan, Ian, Liam, or Ryan?

They are fine together. But they are both so trendy, it seems like a lot.

Yeah, too similar for my tastes. But my name is nothing like my siblings' and my mom mixed us up all the time when she was shouting for us, so at least you'll have an excuse?

I have 2 boys with very dissimilar names and I STILL get tripped up daily... They even get called "Ruby", which is our dog's name!

Call Owen first and you’re fine.
