[Opinions] Ethan
Replies
1. It is too popular for me to use it. I believe it's in the top ten in the US and rising, if I'm not mistaken.
2. I think Nathan and Ethan are very similar. I wouldn't use it unless you were somehow honoring.
3. I prefer Ethan to Evan. I don't have anything against Ethan, except for the popularity.

Personally, I really like the name Ethan.
Yes, it is kind of popular, but you really loved it and it was your favorite name, I don't see why you wouldn't use your favorite name even if it is popular.
No, that's not to close. If his brother was Nathan, then that would be a different story...
I definitely prefer Ethan.

Ethan is the 2nd most popular boys' name in the US, which makes it WAAAYYYY to popular to use, imo.
Evan is #36, so still too popular for me.
I have a friend Kasie who has an Evan and an Ethan, and she says she regrets naming them names so similar and so popular.
I also think Ethan is too close to Nathan.

I live in the UK. It's number 13 here, so not to bad although still popular. I've never met an Ethan though, of any age!
I don't really like it. It's very common, but still only makes me think of Ethan Hawke (I don't like him much). I don't think that Nathan and Ethan are too similar. I think it would even honor him a bit and be nice. Plus he'd always be dad or grandpa anyway.
Evan is feminine to me because I grew up with a female Evan. I always thought it was a variant of Eve and Eva and it never occured to me it could be a boys name.
I would say I like Evan and Ethan about the same.

Not sure about the concensus, but I personally dislike it. I don't like the sound of it and it feels weak and trendy.
I would say Nathan and Ethan are too similar for brothers, but for a father and son I wouldn't care. Some sons have the exact same name as their father, so meh.
I WAY prefer Evan. Love it. It's also a family name for me going back lots of generations.
