Is Evan too Welsh?

My baby is already a few months old. I don't know if I'm suffering from a bit of baby blues/PND but I seem to be obsessively over-analysing his name for the past few weeks. I suspect it is as we chose the name when we first found out I was pregnant (I loved one other name but DH didn't) and only now am I having a wobble about it.
His name is Evan.
We have no Welsh heritage at all and I think this is my main worry. Would you assume that we did? I feel like you can get away with it with other names that aren't English origin (i'm thinking Sienna and Sophia as examples) but this one isn't that common so I feel as though people might find it weird. I know it is quite a common name in the US, so it's more normal there. Thoughts? I don't want to change it because we like the name still but these intrusive thoughts are affecting me, so would appreciate honest views from others.
We chose it mainly because we liked the way it sounded and it being another version of 'John'
