Ezra, Arlo looks and sounds incomplete to me. No idea why!

Arlo


Ezra just seems to feminine for a boy's name to me. I don't like it.

I've always loved Ezra so that gets my vote!

It's interesting that people see Ezra as being feminine....it must be the a ending!

I have to say I love both equally, and when weighing them up, both names have as many pros as cons!

Love them both but I think Arlo is bit too trendy atm, so would vote Ezra

I like this post. I have an Arlo and if I have another boy Ezra is on the list! So I vote for both of them :0)

Oh squeakybeaky, do you get good reactions to his name? Arlo and Ezra would make a FANTASTIC sibset!

Arlo

Another saying Ezra seems female

Report
Squeakybeaky · 12/01/2014 19:29

Um I've had a few blank looks when I've said his name and a few usual 'how do you spell that' but overall reaction has been good. I love it and I think that's all that counts really.

Ezra because of Ezra Chater. Love Tom Stoppard.

I have an Arlo (waves at Squeakybeaky )and always get a good reaction. I didn't realise it was popular (certainly isn't here!)

Hi Mavis, don't think it is popular but is getting a little more popular. :( I love it!
