Born in 1972, for the first 35 years of my life I'met only one other person named Ethan (in 1983). Alone, but unique. Then, all of a sudden, for some reason, it became popular. It used to be when my name was uttered, I was being spoken'to. Not any more. Last year, my name was called in the Doctor's office, but they called for someone else. "Sorry sir, not you." Weird feeling.

I named my son Ethan 4 years ago...never actually knowing an Ethan. I thought it was unique and then all of a sudden everyone is naming their son Ethan. I feel bad for when he'starts school and there's 7 Ethan's in his class. If I have another child, their name will not be a common one.

At first ETHAN was going to be named after his father Sergio and a old friend brought up the name Ethan, i look it up and meant Strong, Bold, etc.... I didnt think to change our son's name. But when my water broke @ only 7 months and 4lbs he was a Strong 7 month old baby boy i just push out our son, his father look at me and ask "What would u like to name our son?" I said ETHAN and looking into each others eyes as our healthy son was in the background crying at that very moment we both exactly knew that Ethan was a perfect fit and to this day 9-5-2008 Ethan is now 6 years old playing baseball strong and healthy as he can be=-] I LOVE THE NAME ETHAN!!!!!!!!!!

I was born in 1995 and my mom and dad were originally going to name me Ethan, but they decided on Brian, after a close family friend. So, my wife and I named our son Ethan Malachi, for my mom. We love the name, and he's the only one in our town with that name (we live in a very small, very rural northern CA town where everyone knows everyone!). he's 2 1/2 now and we're expecting our 2nd child in July (again! Ethan's birthday is the 25th). So yeah...we love it! Brian, Danielle and Ethan Oh, and "Annelise Selah" (if we have a girl) or "Ezra or Ezekiel or Micah or Noah Maddox or Derringer" (if we have a boy)

I was born in 2000. Growing up, when it was not as popular, people constantly mispronounced or misspelled my name wrong, especially teache's at school. These frustrations don't change the fact that I am very proud of my name.

This is my name, I often hear that it is a pretty name. It is always spelled wrong, normally Kenisha. I have not really had a problem with people pronouncing it wrong, unless they are from another country. Lately I have met alot of people with the name Ka-Ni-sha, but with a different spelling.

I named my 2nd son Ethan after the character from the popular TV show Mission Impossible and Tom Cruise movies, Ethan Hunt. The funny thing is after watching Mission Impossible 3, I found out Ethan Hunt's middle name is Matthew, and that's what I gave my son as his middle name.. a coincidence really. But I also looked up the meaning of the name, and it was a no brainer. It also sounds manly, tough, smart and cunning to me and my wife. We're glad the name is becoming more and more popular...

I picked the name because of its meaning, "fI'm, srong, stren'th" and it was uncommon. That being said, it has been a number one name used for baby boy born in BC for the past few years. Nevetheless, I still love the name. In the Bible, God's names represent His characters. Since Ethan was born, it has been my prayer that as he follows God, he "can do anything with the'stren'th of the Lord" in his life for the glory of the Lord. Ethan, an awesome name!!!

i've only begun to appreciate my name in the recent years. Everyone has always told me that the name fits every aspect of my life. The girls love the name, they say it is a masculine name. Through out my whole life ive only met one person with my name. It has been great being the only person that can say that their name fits them and very unique.

My husband I chose the name Ethan after contemplating for months over names. We both agreed on Ethan because to us It'sounds like a cute name for a baby and a strong name for a man. When we found out it meant stren'th we knew this was exactly what we were looking for. I never knew any Ethan's growing up and thought it was an uncommon name. I later found out after naming our 1 and 1/2 year old Ethan that it is becoming popular. However, this does not make us feel like we chose a bad name. We feel flattered to know that other's have found the'same beauty and stren'th in it that we did. We don't feel it makes our son less "special" because his name is not made up or one of a kind! We get compliments on our son's name all the time and I am happy we gave him a strong name to carry with him through life.
