Finally found a boy's name dh and I both like - no mean feat, I can assure you! But searching previous comments on here I get the impression there's a certain 'type.' Don't know any in RL and didn't want to lumber a child with something unintended! What are the Ethan's like you know? I gather its gaining popularity, so there must be some out there!!!

TIA.

I love Ethan!

First time I heard it was on the American TV series "Thirtysomething" and thought it was sophisticated!

Never associated it with "Naughty" boys (They are all called Aaron here )

I think it's a nice name, there's a very sweet boy at DS's school called Ethan.

Not really relevant, but my MIL is related to an Ethan and can never remember how to say it and refers to him as Ethane all the time

I tend to hear Ethan shouted with Taya, Demi and Jayden.
it's not so much the children so named I don't like, it's the adults with them.
