how popular is Ethan?

[rubyred84]

just that really - contemplating adding it to the short list...

In my mind I always hear methane

Tripping over them here (in Australia, though, not UK). It reminds me of ethanol, but I think I'm just tired of hearing it!

I know 4 or 5 under 7. There is at least 1 in every school class/activity/group my dc (6 and 3) go to, and they also have a cousin Ethan. Several of my colleagues have Ethans of a similar age.

I've counted up, I know 9 under 8.

Lovely name! I can think of 4 in preschool or below.

There are at least two in every year at our primary school - 4 in Y6 iirc. I think it's a nice name (even though all of ours are always Ethan B or Ethan J or Ethan W etc etc and never just Ethan)

Please please please don't pick it and do any of those strange spellings If it were me, I would either pick it cos you like it and spell it right or choose another name

I know 2 under 5 but I think its a great name :)

As a side note I've never understood people who think spelling a name differently makes it 'original', more often than not you hear a name before you see it and it still sounds the bloody same

I know 4 under 5yo and I don't even have any DC myself yet. Lovely name though!

My friend is a teacher due a boy and when musing over names Ethan came up
No
There are bloody loads of them and they're all naughty!!!
