Naming note

Say the full name out loud

If Ethan has 2 syllables, try a middle with a different rhythm so the full name does not feel flat.

Use a classic middle if you want balance, or a rarer middle if the first name is already very popular.

Check initials, repeated sounds, and the transition between the last sound of Ethan and the first sound of the middle name.
