Where are all the adult Ethan’s? Names that you know exist on adults but you just haven’t met one in a long time

Anonymous
I slept with one. He'd be about 45?

My friend in college has a crush on one. About the same age.

Come to think of it I haven’t meant a Jason in years.


Those were all awful beta type names. Gary maybe not so much, but still.

My son had a friend named Ethan. They are both 25 now, but Ethan moved away for college and never moved back.

Yeah the Jason thing is weird. I knew like a dozen in my town in the ‘80s and know zero now.

My brother Ethan is 53, and a friend Ethan is 55. I know one Ethan in his 30s, haven't met any younger ones.

They must have all moved to Chicago. Literally every dad of elementary kids here is Jason, Mike or Matt.

Just yesterday, I had a one on one work call with Jeremy, chatted for ten mins with my friend about her ex husband Gary, and got an email from kevin asking if I’d come out to speak at a conference he’s putting on. So definitely all still in the wild.

Feel like Jason is also still out there a lot. Can’t think of one I talked to yesterday, but definitely have Jason’s in my work sphere and good could friends of ours is a Jason.

Because of the baby name book, mid-90s?, "Beyond Jennifer and Jason"

I have a college friend and a former colleague named Ethan, both men in their 40s.

My hairstylist is named Stacy. And she is definitely a cool girl.

I agree minus Tiffany. Tiff still shows up spelled all kinds of ways.

There are no Debbies, Deborahs, Bettys, Sandras, Janes, or Waynes.
