Ethan? We are struggling for a boys name we both agree on and seem to have finally settled on Ethan Lucas. We both like it but looking at the baby name lists it seems to have been in the top 10 for years which we would normally want to avoid. However, between the 4 of us and asking a few friends we don’t actually know of very many and a few of us work in schools. Has it become more popular recently so everyone this year will be called it or is it just one of those consistently popular ones that ticks along? How many do you know and are they all under school age so we will maybe be suprised in a few years when they all start school?! Thanks!

Sorry, that should say peaked at #11 in 2011. The point remains the same.

It's #43 in the charts. 0.2% of babies are called Ethan.

It peaked at #13 in 2010. So, statistically, more common for children aged 12+ than now.
