Calvin or Ethan

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] friends - we have seemingly narrowed it down to two names - [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] or [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] - for our little boy due this fall. I have two questions. (1) which do you prefer and (2) can you help with middle names.

For [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], I’d like to use either an E or a H as the first initial of the middle name. Our last name ends in 'er so probably can’t have a middle name ending in 'er too.

For [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], I’d like to use H (or maybe B) as the first initial of the middle name.

Send all thoughts on these two names or any name combos that work!

Thanks!

I have an [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], so I’m partial to that name.

I’d second [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] mentioned upthread.

I MUCH prefer [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]! For middle names, my favorite is [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. It sounds really handsome to me!

My son’s name is [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and we love it! It also has a great meaning.

Absolutely [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]! [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] feels quite dated.
