The name Cohen is controversial because it is a sacred Jewish surname and some groups of Jews are deeply offended by the use of it as a first name. Personally, I wouldn't use it. You don't know where your son will end up or who he'll be working with. Don't set him up to possibly offend people before he even meets them
Cowen looks stupid. Like cow-in.
Owen and Nolan are nice. I give the edge to Nolan.

Wow! I didn't know this at all. I know quite a few baby Cohens. Can't say that I've really liked it. Seems super trendy to me because of how many I know with that name.
Thanks for the info!
Sadly, I like the sound of Cohen much better than Owen or Nolan.
I REALLY don't like either of the other spellings for it though.
