Personal experiences with the name Ethan: | Edit

Our oldest son is Ethan Kyle. He is our first son out of four. We have used all Biblical names for our children. Ethan is way popular now, but when we named him Ethan-it was in the 80s of the top 100 names.

His siblings are: Benjamin, Lucas, and Roman.

He has not had anyone test out nick names (good or bad)...we simply call him Ethan. We love the name and HIM of course!! :)
