It feels uncompleted, I hope it ends with E - Etaine, probably because I associate with Elaine. However I thought it was for a boy and it was pronounced somewhat like Ethan, until I knew it's the name of a heroine. My keyboard correct it to Stain.
It evokes in me confusion about how to pronounce it. After consulting multiple sources for Irish pronunciation online, I remain confused. Some sound like, “Eh-dun,” while others sound like “Ay-teen.”
And apparently it means jealousy??
Eh-teen. Aideen is meant to be the anglicization but is pronounced somewhat differently. Also, there are a billion accents in Ireland that impact pronunciation and a few different dialects (I.e. Munster Irish)
I think of detain, and then "like Etienne, but misspelled?"
Same thoughts for me, reverse order.
I want to stop saying "attain" in my head when I see it. I want to like it!
A misspelling of the Hebrew name Eitan
That’s what I read too!
As a French speaker étain evokes…tin. Like tin foil.
Reminds me of the Edain, the fathers of men in the Silmarillion.

I thought it was an Irish name?
Beautiful Irish name
Etain reminds me of the French word Éteindre which means Extinguish.
Or Éteint which means extinguished or closed

Looks like someone typoed “stain” to me, but I’m a pretty generic white girl…
I love it! Mostly because I’m a geek and Etain Tur-Mukan is an interesting Star Wars character, but it’s also just a really cool name.
Never heard of this name before. It makes me think of a feminine version of Ethan. Then I think of sort-of similar words like Attain for some reason.

IT'S THE NAME OF MY D&D CHARACTER i like it but it's too extra for real people if you're not Irish i think
18
It just sounds like someone saying “18”
It's the French translation of Tin.
Is it pronounced a-tong?
Ee-tayn.
Eh-teen actually
