Owen is lovely. Ethan sounds too similar to Eva

Ethan is lovely but very matchy. I prefer Owen anyway, it's a gorgeous name. I'd probably spell it Eoin or Eoghan but I'm Irish and my children have Irish names. Seán is also lovely and is essentially the same name.

I think owen matches nicely, and like other poster said, Eva and Ethan
Are quite similar in sound.

Owen sounds more pleasant with your daughter's name for sure.

Owen

Rebecca36 · 16/09/2018 05:55

Eva and Owen sounds really good.
I just don't get 'Ethan'; I know it's fairly popular and it's a Biblical name but always makes me think of ethanol.

Owen is a great name- really solid and works well for a baby all the way to adulthood.

Another one here who doesn’t quite get Ethan’s popularity- it’s quite bleh to me.

Owen

Oodilally · 16/09/2018 08:09

Owen sounds lovely with Eva, although I am biased, it's my sons name only spelled Owain. Good strong name Smile

Icklepup · 16/09/2018 13:38

Definitely Owen

dancemom · 16/09/2018 13:44

I think Ethan!

WerewolfNumber1 · 16/09/2018 13:44

Ethan is too matchy, Owen is better

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 16/09/2018 15:00

Owen for sure.

DramaAlpaca · 16/09/2018 15:01

Another vote for Owen.

LusaCole · 16/09/2018 15:03

Owen

Maverick66 · 16/09/2018 15:12

Owen. I know 2 and they are delightful little boys.

GingerCatBigBalls · 16/09/2018 16:13

Owen

2doubles · 17/09/2018 12:04

Owen

fittedwardrobes · 17/09/2018 20:16

I love Owen

MikeUniformMike · 17/09/2018 20:21

Owen. I know so many Ethans and I don't get why it is so popular.
