Eitan vs. Ethan

Hi, my husband and I are looking for a little advice. Our son is due in about two weeks, and we are still undecided about his name. We are a Jewish family, and we would like to give our son a Hebrew name. We love the name Eitan (pronounced like the letter ’A’, then ’tahn’) but we are wondering if it would be better to name him Ethan so that it fits better with non-Jewish communities. Some families give their children a Hebrew name and a secular name, but we would prefer to just have one. What are your thoughts? Also, would you know how to pronounce the name Eitan just by looking at it? Thanks for your help :)

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
