Why is his name Owen?

During the coin collection scene, Owen tells his dad was called Ned and called him Little Ned and that's why his mother named him Owen.

I dont get it. How the names "Ned" and "Owen" are related?

Well, as far as I know, the names aren't connected. I think that momma named him Owen because she knew his father wanted to name him something else.
