Etienne

Etienne.

DH says that all he can think of is The Ethiad but I don't think they're that similar.

What do you think?

It’s a fantastic name.

As pesto said, Allez Les Verts! Also I remember our Olympic canoeist Etienne Stott. And also love the band Saint Etienne

Go for it!

I love it. Though a friend of DS with French parents has that name and in UK everyone pronounces it Etchen. Less attractive but not a problem so much with a middle name.

As a middle name you don't have to worry about people mispronouncing / shortening to something you don't like/ thinking it's a girl name.... So I would think it's fine and a nod to your heritage.
It makes me think of the Patricia kaas song, but I doubt any non French will have that association.

I love this name and especially with your French heritage! Although I have to say, I know someone who named their daughter this recently! 😫

it's a beautiful name, it reminds me of the less beautiful French town, I don't see how it sounds feminine? It's Stephen, isn't it?

Love it.

That was the name of the first boy I ever kissed

Lovely name!
