I have a friend who's last name is Anne and is pregnant with a boy. Does Ethan sound ok with Anne as the last name or is it too close to sounding like Ethan Allen, the furniture store? Would you even think of the furniture store if you heard the name Ethan Anne? I told her I'd post this for her to get non-biased opinions. Thanks!
The furniture store is what I immediately thought of. I also think of an old Lily Tomlin skit about a little girl called Edith Ann. That's a tough last name for a little boy.
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
No, doesn't sound OK. It sounds unfinished to me...then it made me think of Ethan Allen. Ethan Anne ???....like Ann should be the middle name. Not a fan.

I didn't think of Ethan Allen until you brought it up.
On the other hand, I dont think it flows well.
My best friend just had a baby and named him Ethan and her last name is Allen. Yup, Ethan Allen. She said she didn't care if it was a furniture store.
I don't think of Ethan Allen when I hear Ethan Anne. But it doesn't flow very well.
