I don't like
Ethan at all, and not just becuase it's becoming popular. I don't know anyone named
Ethan, but I also don't know many small children. I would never use it, but I wouldn't care if someone else did.
Ethan James isn't bad since I like the mn, but just hearing
Ethan I think of a stuck-up, preppy, rich boy. I also think of
Ethan from Lost. :)
