Ethan? We are struggling for a boys name we both agree on and seem to have finally settled on Ethan Lucas. We both like it but looking at the baby name lists it seems to have been in the top 10 for years which we would normally want to avoid. However, between the 4 of us and asking a few friends we don’t actually know of very many and a few of us work in schools. Has it become more popular recently so everyone this year will be called it or is it just one of those consistently popular ones that ticks along? How many do you know and are they all under school age so we will maybe be suprised in a few years when they all start school?! Thanks!

I lived in london for 10 years and only knew 1 Ethan - he is 22 now.

I now live in the midlands and don't know of any, neither at my childrens schools, local area etc etc.

It's a lovely name.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I find it unbearably dull. My kids have two cousins called Ethan and I feel like I see them everywhere. Maybe I'm in an Ethan hotspot too. However, I'm a stranger on the internet, who cares what I think? If you love it then go for it Smile

I only know two - ages 14 and 18. Lovely name. Easily pronounced and spelt.

Well, mostly easily pronounced... the priest at the christening kept pronouncing it "eh-than" to rhyme with Bethan - we were all very bemused!
