MICHELE NORRIS, host: Priscilla Owen overcame many hurdles to get to this point but not all of      them. A lot of people, important people, are getting one key fact about      her wrong.</s>MICHELE NORRIS, host: President GEORGE W. BUSH:  Over four years ago I put Judge Owens' name up      to the Senate for confirmation.  Judge Owens is finally going to get an      up-or-down vote on the Senate floor.  Priscilla Owens is well-qualified.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, host: President Bush was speaking yesterday at the White House with Priscilla      Owen--that's without an S--at his side.  But the president has bipartisan      company.</s>Senator CHARLES SCHUMER (Democrat, New York): In case after case,      Justice Owens comes to co--Justice Owen comes to conclusions...</s>MICHELE NORRIS, host: That's Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat.  OK,      reporters also get it wrong.  The AP did.  We, at NPR, did, too.</s>NOAH ADAMS: The way it looks now, Majority Leader Frist will call for a      vote on the Owens nomination as soon as tomorrow.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, host: We couldn't reach Judge Owen for comment, so we contacted another      Owen, Steve Owen.  He's a scientist in Albuquerque.  He says he's plenty      used to having that S tacked onto his name.</s>Mr. STEVE OWEN (Scientist, Albuquerque): Most of the time I just let it      pass. But if it's something where my name needs to be remembered      correctly, I'll usually tell them, `There's only one of me.  I'm a      singular person, not a plural person.'</s>MELISSA BLOCK, host: That's Steve Owen of Albuquerque.  He's no relation to Judge      Priscilla Owen, who was confirmed today to the 5th Circuit Court of      Appeals.
Priscilla Owen has overcome many hurdles to reach the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. But after all this public exposure, some key players still don't know how to pronounce her name. We hear from President Bush, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), and Steve Owen, a scientist from Albuquerque, N.M.
