Too American?

[cfdb]

I'm falling in love with the name Ethan but don't want people to think I'm trying to be something I'm not. Does it sound too American? I'm not due until July so plenty of time to decide but I don't want to rush a last-minute decision!

I don't think it is too American but it is quite popular.

Ah, who cares! If you love it, do it. I have a Kurt which many think of as quite American but he was named after our favourite author and that's what matters.

I know a couple of primary school age Ethans in UK. I like the name, and don't think of it as American.

I know a couple. It's gaining popularity so I don't think anyone would categorise it too much.

I dont think that it is too american, but it is very popular, which might be a consideration.

It's becoming quite popular all of a sudden know at least 4 pre-school Ethans and 3 school aged and there's within a local village.

I know an Ethan. It is a lovely name.

no i wouldnt say its too american

I didn't think "American", I thought "fairly popular name that comes up on MN quite a lot"

There are a couple of Ethans at nursery, didn't realise it was amrican thought it was of celtic origin. I like it (as long as you don't mind them having the same name as a few others at school - its quite popular)

I don't think it's too American but it does always remind me of Ethan Frome - the saddest story every written.

EVER written!

As a yank- no its not too american. I know many, many more ethans here in the UK than at home!
