原Ethan is the name of a bratz doll.

原I so much love the name. One of my uncles bears the name.

原This is my name :). I was born in 1985 and all the way until 2010 I thought I was the only one. I like my name, and am proud that there appears to be a growing following.

原Easily one of the coolest names for a boy.

原I know everyone will hate me, but I don't really like it that much. Every Ethan I have known was wimpy and not very nice.

原Who cares if Ethan is a popular name. It's a great name, that's why it's popular. I know a few little boys named Ethan and they are adorable, sweet, funny, smart and outgoing.

原I know 6 Ethans. It's a great name, but way too popular.

原This name is still popular after many years for a good reason. It's a strong name and works for a boy or grown man. I love this name. It's not pretentious, it has a great meaning and history, and works for someone smart and easy going.

原I wouldn't dislike this name as much as I do if I didn't hear it everywhere. Like, everywhere, on every other baby boy I meet. I'm not even sure why it's so popular; it's not a bad name, but I think I need someone to explain the appeal to me.

原I like this name and if you like\love it as well and are considering using it for your little guy, some combos I have paired with it that you are more than welcome to take a look at are: Ethan HunterEthan KyleEthan LyricEthan ParkerEthan RossEthan SawyerEthan JeremiahEthan LucasEthan SpencerEthan MilesEthan ThomasJared Ethan.

原Ethan is the name of the main character of Pokemon games: Gold, Silver and Crystal. It's really different from the anime, that is more childish and loosely based on the games, so he doesn't exist there.Taking account the game character, Ethan makes me think of an adventurous boy that visits temples and loves myths and mysteries.

原I love this name and it's meaning - strong and enduring.

原Ethan is a short and sweet biblical name. I love the name Ethan because of a past experience with one but it's my second or first favorite boy name. I'm conflicted with Alexander, another boy name that I'm conflicted with is Theo. I'm not sure if I want just Theo or Theodore.

原One of my favorite boy names, even though it's always at the top of the popularity charts. Strong; Biblical; easy to spell and pronounce; good for all ages 1 to 100 years. Another plus: it has (and needs) no nickname, which is great if you want your son to be called by his complete name. Similar names would be Adam, Luke, George, Isaac, Aaron, Colin, Simon, Justin, Caleb.

原Ethan Wate is the name of the main character in the Beautiful Creatures novels.

原I don't like this name. The first syllable just sounds really harsh to me.

原Ethan Whitering (also known as Atsuishi Shigeto) is a character in Inazuma Eleven.

原A cool, cute name. (^^)ｂ It's perfect sounding! ♡ ☺.

原Ethan Chase is a fictional character in Julie Kagawa's book called The Lost Prince.

原Apparently the old Hebrew meaning is "Constancy" which I suppose is the same as "fixed". When I called my son Ethan my father was pretty unhappy as he thought it was a bit wimpy, until we pointed out that his movie hero John Wayne played a character called Uncle Ethan in The Searchers. I called him Ethan before it became popular with celebrities, and before the Mission Impossible movies came out. He wasn't thrilled when he was younger (except for the fact it was easy to spell) but loves it now in his late teens. And no, we aren't at all artsy or pretentious... I just thought it was a bit different (how wrong I was). There are very few Ethans older than 18 right now.

原Ethan is an OK name, nothing I would use. It sounds to boring and it's too common! It also hardly goes with a middle name. If you like "AN" ending boys names use Evan, not Ethan.

原I used to really like this name: Cute on a boy, intelligent on an adolescent, mysterious on an adult, and it remains quite handsome throughout the years. Now I don't know what to think. I read Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, and though it was very well written I despised Ethan's character. He was stupid and wrong in so many ways. So now this name has been tainted by that association. I really ought to get over myself, though. It's such a good name.

原Makes me think of 'Ethan Frome.' It's okay, but the character is a bit of a wuss.

原It would be a pretty decent name if it wasn't so insanely popular. Name your son Ethan nowadays, and I can guaranty you he'll meet at least two other boys with his name.

原Ethan is one of my favourite names but it's crazy popular. That doesn't put me off using Ethan though, it just makes me a little sad.

原To be blatantly honest: I cannot stand the name. It has the air of something that very artsy parents would choose... an observation that I do not think is half off (but as always, there are the odd exceptions). Do I necessarily hate the ones who bear it? Negative-- don't be silly. I simply find it... an unattractive, unusable, tacky name.And for the record-- that opinion is based off of my US American ears at the general public who bears it, and sound... Perhaps if you are Hebrew, it may work.

原I like this name, it sounds very handsome. It's become common though.

原Ever since Ethan appeared as the cold-blooded "Other" on LOST, whenever I hear the the name I think of someone evil and conniving. Losties would refrain from using this name.

原I really like this name a lot! Glad it's in its "reign". By "reign", I mean that the name stayed popular for several years. It might last until a few more years, when I assume the popularity will fall.

原Snobby country club/golf name.

原Something happened in the 1990's that made this name more popular.

原I love this name, and I always will. It doesn't matter if everyone in the world was named Ethan. If you like the name like I do that's what is the important thing.

原I agree, really great name but becoming so overused. :(

原It's a nice name, but sadly it's too popular.

原Actors Rachael Bella and Edward Furlong have a son Ethan Furlong, born on 21th September, 2006.

原This name reminds me of Ethan on the soap opera 'One Life to Live'. He's cute, maybe that's why it's getting to be a popular name. Sounds elitist, wealthy and privileged. Although I do like the name a lot.

原I like the French pronunciation better : e-tahn.

原Ethan has been my ultimate favorite boy's name for the last 5 years or so. I've still got a while until I even want to think about children, but I'm convinced this will be my future son's name. It's everything I want in a boy's name, it's strong yet gentle, intellectual, but not too pretentious, and it's traditional but not too common (up until recently which makes me very upset). I do agree that it sounds a little bit whiny as child's name, but as both a teenager's name and a man's name, I think it's gorgeous. I find it goes really well with a lot of different middle names too.

原I really like the name Ethan. It's a nice, masculine name, and it's not too 'out there' (though I sometimes prefer the odd names). I've seen it spelled 'Ethyn'. To each their own, I guess.

原Number 5 for boys in 2005.

原Ethan Craft was Lizzie's crush on Lizzie McGuire.

原I usually dislike names with the ''th'' sound, and I hate the names Keith and Heath, but Ethan sounds very pleasant to me. I would never use a Biblcal name, and the name is hideously common and popular, but like Aidan, Connor, and Tristan, this is one of the GOOD popular names in America right now.

原I like this name but it is way too common nowadays so I probably will never use it.

原I used to love the name Ethan, before it got very popular again. I like that strong long vowel sound followed by the soft "th" phoneme. Now I am tired of hearing the name Ethan on little boys. I would be intrigued if I met a grown man with the name, though.

原This name is sooo annoying. It sounds like you're whining when you say it. This name along with Jack, Aidan, and Liam are the most annoying names I've ever heard of.

原I think Ethan sounds very wimpy and ugly. I dislike it a lot.

原I think Ethan has a great ring to it, I also think it sounds strong like its meaning. I think it is a great name.

原I love this name. It was the only name my husband and I could agree on for our son who was born 2006. It was the 4th most popular last year, but if you look at what percentage of boys were named Ethan compared to 2005 and 2004 for instance, it's actually a smaller percent. Starting 2001 if I remember correctly, over 1% of boys born in those years were named Ethan. In 2006 it was 0.94%.

原My son's name. When he was born (1995) it was not particularly in fashion, about #50. People would often mistake his name for Ian, Nathan or Steven. Now it's everywhere. I think it sounds masculine, not wispy. He likes his name fairly well, though when he was younger he wanted to be called Christopher or Nicholas.

原Oh, good Lord, don't name your boy Ethan, whatever you do! It's horrible! It sounds fey and frou frou beyond belief. If you want your son to get beat up at school and end up working in a women's hair salon, then name him Ethan.

原I love this name! It's so adorable! My nephew's name is Ethan Kyle and I love it!

原I had no idea this name was getting so common! I like it, but it just feels too Biblical for me.

原This is my son's name (Ethan Jack) and I love it, here in the UK it's popular but not too popular (no. 19 for 2006) and I like the meaning.

原I quite like this name. It has a very soft, sensitive sound, which gives it a great masculine quality. It's meaning is also appealing to me. It makes me think of a really nice guy who is honest and loyal. It is a bit of a shame that it's gotten so popular over the years, but that still doesn't deter me from liking it. I never tire of hearing mothers calling for their young sons named Ethan!

原I really like this name! Since it has the meaning of Solid and Enduring, Strong and Firm that's what the name makes me think of. I think it's a wonderful name!

原Ethan was one of the 'Others' in the TV series 'LOST'.

原A book by Edith Wharton is called "Ethan Frome."

原Ethan Rayne was a character on the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". He first appeared in the season two episode "Halloween". He is a British chaos-worshiping sorcerer who creates all sorts of havoc.

原This name has really grown on me. It is very masculine sounding and makes me think of a smart man.

原Not a bad name but I have no idea why it's so become so popular. It's rather lispy sounding in my opinion.

原Ethan Phillips is the actor who played Neelix on "Star Trek: Voyager."

原This is my little brother's name (he was born in 2004, it's the *fifth* most popular name that year, and it was supposed to be Owen or Emmet anyway, grr). We went to the library for a kids' story time, and 4 of the 5 boys there were named Ethan.Nobody calls him by his name, anyway, though. His mom calls him Junior and I call him E.T. or Andy. I guess kids with common names have to forge their own characters instead of living up to their names?

原Ethan Byrne is the name of a character in Vivian Vande Velde's novel, Companions of the Night.

原Not a bad name, a bit lispy sounding to me. Very popular right now.

原There's a character from an online comic "CTRL-ALT-DEL". The main character is Ethan.

原Ethan Allen was also the leader of the Green Mountain Boys, a group of backwoods men, during the Revolutionary War.

原Ethan Allen was a founding father of the United States. He was a rough and tumble kind of man--a warrior with a patriot's heart.

原My nephew is called Ethan. He is 3 and the name suits him very well. This name rocks!

原Ethan is the main character on Mission Impossible and Mission Impossible II. It's played by Tom Cruise.

原A famous bearer of the name is actor Ethan Hawke.

原This name is pronounced eht-ahn in Hebrew.
