Not sure if I’m overthinking this. My son’s name is Ethan. We are considering naming baby number two Owen. I know they’re pretty different, but they also both have two syllables and a similar ending. I imagine calling them by their name together and they seems fine to me. But then if I imagine them introducing themselves to people together like when they’re older kids- “I’m Ethan.” “And I’m Owen.” — Does that seem too matchy? Just trying to think if it would bother them?

I just know people who name their kids super matchy and it bothers me— but also not sure if I’m overthinking this? if not any other suggestions? We also like Sebastian, but that seems a bit ornate compared to Ethan, like they don’t go well together. And it also ends with -an.

Edit to add: Another option my husband and I like for baby number 2 is Oliver. But i know that’s super popular. And I feel like the only associations I have with it are two TV shows where the character was “dorky.” So it doesn’t seem like a strong name to me? But maybe that’s also me overthinking it haha.

I binged this show in the last five weeks. I realize I’m really late to the party... I thought it was phenomenal from start to finish except maybe a little slow at parts in seasons three and four. Otherwise, I absolutely loved it, even season five. Except--

Im sure this has been talked about before here many many times— but I just can’t deal with El’s ending. I’ve never been emotionally devastated by a show before— especially one I loved so much. How could the Duffers do this to her? After everything she’s been through and how far she’s come? Feel like I can never rewatch the show after this.. just so depressing— that even if she did live she’s just isolated from everyone she’s ever loved. So sad. I couldn’t even be happy about the other characters’ happy endings. It’s going to take me a while to recover from this. :(
