I like it. As long as you don't use the middle name Arrow, it's a good name.

I know it doesn't sound the same, but I can't help thinking "bowel" :/
same as with Colin and "colon"

A kind-of-related name I like is Boden, and I definitely like Owen

Hahaha. Boden is "floor" in German... which wouldn't matter to most people here, but I still speak German to my father so DEFINITELY out.

I kind of like it. It has significance to me because the place where we had our wedding reception is called Bowen's Mills (an old mill near where I'm from).

Just to explain (for those who are unfamiliar with it and are calling it trendy), Bowen comes from ap Owen, meaning "Son of Owen" in Welsh. Like Bevan with Evan.
