HelpSwan, Sohan, Safwan
I noticed today that both Swan and Swann were among the top 200 baby names for boys in France in 2020.
Other similar looking names:
Sohan and Soan are in the top 100.
Soën and Safwan are in the top 500.
What are your thoughts on potentially meeting a Swan / Swann? And what do you think of Sohan, Soan, Soën, Safwan?
Some info from the database:
The name appeared in France around 1985 with the film by Volker Schlöndorff in 1983, "Un amour de Swann", based on Marcel Proust's novel "Remembrance of Things Past" in which Swann is the last name of a central character. Charles Swann is a wealthy bourgeois of Jewish descent, in love with Odette de Crécy."
Swan is also listed in the submitted names section as a rare Arabic version of Shaan, which means "dignity, dignified".
Safwan means "stone, rock" in Arabic, though it may also be derived from صفا (safa) meaning "pure, clean". This was the name of two companions of Muhammad.
