What do you think of Ethan Joshua?

[miaboo]

Excatly that! :)
Yes or no?

Absolutely fine.

Two popular, Biblical names.

The names aren't going to set anyone's world on fire but they are solid and sensible and, crucially, will grow with your son.

Only hesitation I have is that Ethan is a bit on trend, having increased from the 92nd most popular name in 1996 to 13th this year.

Lovely names...do they go well with your surname?

My son is Ethan (he is 10!) and his middle name is Rhys. His name flows beautifully together, and his surname too!

If it flows with your surname, then yes its lovely. I ummed and ahhed about Ethan Jacob at one point... but for him Ethan Rhys flowed well!

Love the name Ethan, always have. Goes well with Joshua too. Very nice combination.

Not a fan of Ethan or Joshua. But its not my baby - they are totally inoffensive, I just don't like them very much.

I don't really like either of them, sorry. But thankfully we all have different tastes! The purpose of naming people is so we can identify then so the wider name variety we have, the better .

them, not then.

I don't like Ethan because for me, there's something a bit chemical-sounding about it.

tbh I don't like Joshua much either. Not that I ever hear the full version, it's always just Josh, isn't it? Millions Lots of them round here.

I don't like Ethan but Joschua is ok.

sorry Joshua.

Very nice names, and go well together :)

I like Joshua.

Joshua is ok but I really dislike Ethan for some reason.

They're both really lovely.

I think they're lovely and go well together.

very inoffensive. popular names too i think. i know many little Ethans and a pile of Joshuas too.

if you have a very common surname it might help to go with something more unusual - simply because if DS ever needs to promote himself professionally it can be annoying when someone else in your field has the same name (i speak from experience)

besides that, you can't go wrong really.

Dislike Ethan, sorry. Joshua is ok. I think a one syllable middle name would work better with Ethan.

Lovely

I'm not too keen personally on Ethan. But I don't mind Joshua. There is nothing wrong with either name. And it's all a matter of taste.
