If I had to use one of these irl, I'd pick Ethan. I've already got a brother names Charles, so using it as a first name would feel weirdly repetitive (and also weirdly narcissistic since my own name is Charlotte - I honestly have no idea what my parents were thinking there, naming a son and daughter Charlotte and Charles). And Westley reminds me of the generally silly, prattish Watcher from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', Wesley Whendom-Price. And also a bit of the kid from Star Trek, Wesley Crusher.

Ethan, however, has no immediate negative associations for me and I just like it in general. I like the sound of it, and the meaning's nice too.
