Thoughts on Ewan

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Ewan? How to you picture a Ewan to be? Any preference on spelling? Do you know any?

Thanks

I like it. Uncommon but not out there.

I do like the spelling Eoghan, but then I'm a difficult bugger

I prefer the Euan spelling. It’s a nice enough name, but i know two dreadful adults named Ewan and Euan. That means nothing to you though of course!

I have a Ewan so I like it!

I have a ten week-old Ewan snoozing upstairs. We are very happy with the name choice, it's traditional yet uncommon. We've had lots of compliments on his name, surprised it's not more popular, think it's number 300 or something in the stats.

...and he has a Ewan the Dream Sheep

I've known Ewan, Ewen and Euan. They're lovely names :)

I know a few - 30s, 11 and 6. They are all Ewan, which I think is probably the “default” spelling in England. They are all lovely chaps- slightly on the quiet and intelluctual side, but I think that is more a reflection of the people I have out with, than a function of their first name!

It’s not unusual in Scotland!

I personally prefer Euan but it’s a great name.

I know a Euan, he's about 10 years old and a lovely boy.
Never heard of Ewan though

Ewan McGregor probably means that spelling is more likely to be the default spelling, but I think I prefer Euan. Nice name either way.

I have a little Ewan 💙 he’s 3. We get lots of compliments on his name, we love it as it’s not too common but not too out there. And it was a good compromise on my partners name suggestion of ‘obi wan kenobi’ for a little boy 🤔😂

I have a Ewan so obviously I love it! I prefer the spelling Ewan rather than euan, always felt it 'looked' nicer.

Wow alot of mum's with little Ewan's on mumsnet. I also saw it as a pretty uncommon name. I've never met one myself

I love the name Ewan. I think of a dark haired boy with a cheeky glint in his eye. I know several aged 45 -4. Strangely all 3 of my kids have had a Ewan /Euan in their classes at school. I don't think it is actually all that common, it just seems to crop up a lot at their school! (Central belt Scotland). I like the spelling Ewan. Ewen is more of a surname spelling. Euan always makes me thing French but I don't know why.

I really like it! I'd consider this name.

Lovely name. It’s unusual but not too outlandish. But then i’m very biased as I have a gorgeous cheeky Ewan myself.

The only Ewans I have met were barristers (although this is probably to do with the company I keep). I think it’s nice and neutral. It won’t sound out of place if they end up in a high powered job but doesn’t sound ‘try hard’ like Sebastian and other posh names.

I like it. I don't know any but I know an Euan (Scottish) and a few Iwans (Welsh). I'd say maybe it's a bit dated in Wales.

I just hear sheep.

Prefer "Euan" because it avoids the "ew" (as in "yuck") spelling.

It's a nice name.

I have a Ewan, he's 10! Named primarily after Ewan McGregor. He's full of beans, has a great sense of humour and has a lot of friends

I know loads of them. Ewans always wear fleeces and hiking boots to the pub. Never cool, always sensible.

I like it!

Eoghan is an Irish name Fairfax, it’s Anglicised to John or Owen usually. The closest English pronounciation is Owen.

@planbatman well my mate must be pronouncing his own name wrong then.
