Famous sibling names

We have a son called Joel and expecting another boy. My husband and I both like the name Ethan but he thinks people will think of the Coen brothers! I think this is quite random (and there are many other way more known sibling names) and probably doesn't matter much. Thoughts from you all? Many thanks in advance!

I’ve heard of the Coen brothers but didn’t know what their first names were until your post.

Who?

Never heard of the Coen brothers.

It will be nothing more than a passing point of mild interest even for those who know of the Coen brothers. Anyway, it's a good association.

Ethan is lovely.

I wouldn’t think of or know that, I think you’re safe Grin

Joel and Ethan both great names.

The Coen brothers make excellent films, so even if people do notice, it wouldn't be with any connotations other than admirable!

Dude!
