Timeless names that go with any sibling
These names have been used steadily for a hundred years, so they sit comfortably next to a name from any era, Owen included.
Girls: Elizabeth, Maria, Lydia, Cecilia, Julia, Miriam. Boys: Samuel, Anthony, Wesley, Vincent, Calvin, Victor.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Owen's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Owen's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Owen or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Owen itself are excluded.
