Having a baby is one of the most exciting times of your life, but it’s also one of the biggest adventures you’ll ever embark on — the adventure of parenthood.

This journey takes a lot of planning and comes with lots of questions, like what to name your baby.

Parenting.com discusses how a person develops opinions about himself based on his name, and also how others often make assumptions about people based on their names alone.

Since the name is such a big decision, it’s not surprising at all that people take so much time looking for the perfect first name for their babies. But, if you spend all of your time looking for the best first name, you might find you’re out of steam when it comes to choosing a middle name.

Without any further ado, here are the best middle names for a boy named Ethan.

I’ve compiled these from baby name databases, parent discussion forums, and other sources then whittled them down to the ones I personally think sound the best.

Hope it helps!
