I once had to give a paper in front of my class about what name I could have had. Somehow, I had interpreted the facts incorrectly and I told the class my parents had considered “Leroy” as a name. No they hadn’t but it still makes me laugh to this day.

If we want to start calling him Ethan, shouldn’t we spell it as “Etan” because that’s how you spell Nate backwards?

If you take out the h in Ethan and write it backwards, it spells out Nate. Maybe that’s where Marty and Nate’s unnamed mother came up with Nate after Ethan.
