We want to name our baby boy Ethan. Now all we need is a middle name! We want the name to flow nicely, but hubby and I agreed neither our fathers names flow nicely. I know people say it doesn't matter how it sounds since it won't be used often but we want it to sound nice.

Our ideas are:
Ethan Roman
Ethan Rohan/Rowan
Ethan Alexander
Ethan Liam
Ethan Louis

Let me know what you think sounds best!

Alexander.
I think the names ending in m/n are more awkward to say with Ethan.

SoupDragon · 28/10/2021 18:49

I think Alexander flows the best.

Pandaly · 28/10/2021 18:50

Ethan Alexander

Agree with pp the N/M endings are a bit tricky

Comedycook · 28/10/2021 18:51

Rowan or Alexander

MysticCT · 28/10/2021 18:51

Alexander goes really well with Ethan.

Pickuptruck · 28/10/2021 18:51

Ethan Roman is stand out winner i think

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/10/2021 18:51

Ethan Louis

Newdad19 · 28/10/2021 18:51

Definitely Alexander

daisypond · 28/10/2021 18:52

None of the ones ending -an or -am. Louis and Alexander are fine. I think Alexander is best.

soontobeamama · 28/10/2021 18:53

Alexander

NoddingTulip · 28/10/2021 18:55

Ethan Alexander sounds lovely, Ethan Louis is good too. The others are harder to say together, especially Ethan Liam (but that could be my accent playing a part there).

FindingMeno · 28/10/2021 18:56

Alexander definitely

TenThousandSpoons · 28/10/2021 19:07
  1. Alexander
  2. Louis
None of the ones that end in N or M flow very well for me. They are a bit samey/rhymey especially Ethan Liam
RusholmeRuffian · 28/10/2021 19:09

Alexander

AnyaMoondial · 28/10/2021 20:02

Ethan Alexander, it sounds wonderful.

Alexander

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 28/10/2021 21:12

Alexander or Louis. Which one flows best might depend on your surname sounds/syllables.

UpInTheAttic · 28/10/2021 21:14

Alexander

MerryChristmasToYou · 28/10/2021 21:15

Does Ethan Surname flow?

A single syllable middle name like George or James would flow better

WaitinginVain · 28/10/2021 21:31

Louis I think. Closely followed by Alexander.

None of the others, although I prefer some of them.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/10/2021 21:34

Alexander

ofwarren · 28/10/2021 21:38

Alexander

catchyjem · 28/10/2021 21:48

Alexander

emmathedilemma · 28/10/2021 21:50

Is Louis as in Lewis, Louie or Low-is?
Alexander sounds best if your options I think.
I like the PP suggestions of George and James too.
