Euan

[Username0000007]

Would like some opinions on the name Euan James as a brother for George.

Is it boring? Dated? I know it's not exactly on trend but I'd prefer to avoid a name that will date badly.

It looks as though we won't be able to use our first and favourite choice so this is a back up name.

I love it.

I like it. TO me it is similar to Ethan and Evan which are both fairly popular, but more unusual so less risk of multiple Euans in his class at school.

I met a 7 year old Euan recently (although think he was actually spelt Ewan) and it did not feel at all dated using it.

Thanks, sounds positive. It's not too similar to Ian is it?

I have a Euan - it’s a good balance of not too popular and quite unusual

I love it. To me, Euan is intelligent and a bit geeky, but in a good way.
It's a lovely name.

My ds is a Euan and we love it. Never had a negative reaction to it

I've got a Ieuan

Thanks all. This is a difficult decision for me (see my other thread on reusing name).

Well I love it!!

Thank you.

Other mn option is Patrick. So Euan James or Euan Patrick.

Euan Patrick. 💜

Euan Patrick is probably less common. I love both names.

I like Euan Patrick. I know a toddler named Euan and it really suits him and is lovely on him. His brother is Rhys, which I also like fwiw.

I really like it. I actually know siblings called George and Euan.

Euan is a really great name - it's one of my favourites.

Euan Patrick is gorgeous.

Euan Patrick is an amazing name!

Lovely! I know many boys called Iwan- the Welsh version.

We have a Ewan! He’s 3. We love it as perfect balance of not too common and not too out there. I liked the Euan spelling too and Euan Patrick sounds lovely x

Euan and Ian mean the same - they are both forms of the name John/Johann.
Shouldn't cause problems though.
If you had a dozen children you could call them all versions of John:
John
Jane
Sinead
Siobhan
Iain
Ieuan
Janet
Joan
Yvette
Shaun
Jenkin
Ioan
Evan
Hans
Juan
Gianni
Yahya
Ivan
...

Euan is lovely.

I have only know two (both adults now), both spelt Ewan. I think that carries a more intuitive pronunciation here in Australia, but in the UK, I doubt Euan would cause any issues.

Euan Patrick is fantastic.

Love Euan Patrick.

I like it too.

I really really like the name Euan / Ewan. Euan Patrick is lovely. I know quite a few Ewan/Euans aging from about 45 to 5 and each of them are lovely men/boys. The only issue I have is is keeps autocorrecting Euan to Evan on this post! And I think Euan is much nicer.
