Is Ethan wimpy?
| Tue, 02-20-2007 - 12:24pm |
I've not had much luck budging my DH from Ethan to Alec (we have one boy-Jack). My worry on Ethan, aside from its popularity (though Jack is also uber-popular now - wasnt when I named him it) is is Ethan like a strong athletic masculine kind of name or is it bookish? Not to steer my kids into sterotypes, but I dont think any son of ours is going to avoid sports and I dont know what it is about Ethan that seems a little "delicate" to me. Maybe the "E"? Am I reading too much into it?

Popularity aside, this is the image of Ethan I have always had, honestly. Its popularity has come as a shock to me. I'm not sure that everyone has viewed it the way I do because the first two Ethans I became aware of had very outdoorsy/athletic parents. I was shocked...
Now that it is so popular, though, there will be Ethans of all walks of life. Interestingly, I DO find Ethan and Alec to be the same type of name, bringing forth the same type of first impression.
Best wishes, Ginger
