Euan or Ewan...?

[AzureBlueSky]

DS 2 is due in May...I have been out-voted on Gabriel and Bryn, so looks like he'll be Euan/Ewan. I prefer Euan..DH prefers Ewan. Really stuck...which shall I go with?

Euan

Euan

What about Iwan if you were thinking of Bryn because of a Welsh connection?

Euan is less harsh. I like it much better

euan

Euan is much nicer than Ewan for some reason.

Not sure why, maybe it looks less Anglicised?

Euan is nicer. Ewan is easier to spell!

Euan.

I think Euan in common and Ewan is lovely if i had Ewan it would def be with a W as everybody puts a u to try and be modern and trendy but the original scottish spelling is EWAN good luck deciding!(After all it still is prenounced the same lol)

Ewan is not the Original Scottish spelling. Love Euan Lowribs Scottish other half.

mumof3bs1more yer spraffing MINCE.
Love Lowribs Scottish boyf. Who has hijacked her mumsnet. Yer talking pish.

Oops, sorry about hijack by BF (Euan)

Euan better IMO but both are OK.

Euan

Euan, to avoid people mispronouncit as as ee-wan

Dp is a Ewen - just to confuse matters ! Lots of different spellings on b'day cards etc.

Euan... although Ewan is nice too as reminds me of the yummy Ewan MacGregor

Many thanks to all who replied...Dh has conceded defeat. DS will be Euan

My ds is Euan (16 mnths) - hadn't come across any others until he was born and they now seem to be everywhere! Spose it would be the same with any name though.

Euan isn't just Scottish it's Manx too.

I've found that about 80% of christmas cards were to Ewan.

Hope your Euan is as scrummy as mine!

Ewan is the original Scottish lowland version of the Gaelic name Eóghan. Euan is a modern Anglicised equivalent that first reared its head in the 1970s.
