We are having our third baby! We have DS Ezra and DD Arie, and now that we know we are having a DS we are narrowing down the names. It's between Asher and Ethan. Both are Hebrew, Asher means Happy and Ethan means Strong. Our concerns being that Asher will make our three kids sound "overly Jewish" and Ethan might be too common compared to E and A. We are leaning towards Ethan. Thoughts?
Re: Name this baby #3!!!
I like Asher.
ETA: I read the book, My Name is Asher Lev, in high school and have loved the name ever since.
I like Asher better than Ethan and also Ethan and Ezra sound kinda similar which could be an issue down the line. But I do like the name Ethan also.

I also like the name Ethan, but from my experience, Ethan is much more popular.
One of my best friends named her son Asher. She's pregnant with her second, and has chosen Ezra as the name. I think it makes a great sibset.
Asher gets my vote!
