What are your honest opinions on the name Ezra?

[NotSoFastPlease]

Just what the title says! Thank you

[orangeglove]

Like a lot.

[chinlop]

Love it

[user1471481356]

I love it and am considering using it :) deciding between Ezra, Zander or Dimitri!

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Not a fan sorry.

[blahthisistoohard]

I really like it but for some reason I always think it sounds like it should be a girls name!

[MrsCornish]

The only baby I know called ezra is a girl. But generally it makes me think of ol'timers like Stinky Pete !

[ScarletSienna]

I really like it for a boy. It was a name we considered.

[thefamilynaom]

Love it! The little boy I know called Ezra goes by Ez which is so cute.

[mammaofjoelandunbornboy]

Nice for a girl imo xx

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

Ezra Pound. Some seriously dodgy beliefs. It's a no from me.

[Susiethetortoiseshellcat]

I know it's very popular and I usually love biblical names but I just picture an old bearded prophet. Sounds very old testament to me.

[annandale]

To me i just think of the Archers but I'm 50 and clearly it's coming back so if you like it use it.

[Cagliostro]

I love it! Would happily use for this baby if a boy but DH hates it

[Lemondrop99]

It's nice enough as a name but it's very "in" and trendy at the moment. Feels like the next Noah. I suspect it'll have a peak and then crash. Along with Teddy

[weaselscanfly]

Agree with Lemondrop. It's very 'in' at the moment & I've heard of quite a few lately. Definitely the next Noah. I do like it though - probably in my top 3 biblical names.

[JennyOnAPlate]

I like it but there's a character in pretty little liars called Ezra (creepy teacher having an affair with one of his students) so I couldn't use it because of that.

[OpalIridescence]

Honestly? I find it a slightly depressing name. Makes me think of the words 'grim' and 'grey'.

However I am told I like names of the flowery/ stripper variety so don't mind me too much!

[chinlop]

I love it and am considering using it smile deciding between Ezra, Zander or Dimitri!

Go with Ezra!

[diodati]

Ezra Pound. No from me.

[donkey86]

I know a family with the surname Ezra, so it sounds odd as a first name to me.

[Decaffstilltastesweird]

I love it!

Can't stand Zander. Dimitri I can't get that excited about either way.

I'd definitely go with Ezra.

[Sophronia]

I like it!

[CatRash]

I love it and would consider using it myself if it wasn't my cat's name (he's a rescue and came pre-named).

If it helps I often shorten it to Ez or Ezzie (which ironically isn't shortening it at all...). And I'm talking about a cat so this probably isn't helping either!! Sort if I'm just slowly ruining this name for you!! He's a lovely cat though!!

Use it!!!!!!

[BeBeatrix]

LOVE the name Ezra (but only for a boy).

[ScarletForYa]

It's a fad. It'll date your child, if you don't mind that though it doesn't matter.

It's like Alfie and Archie of 5 years ago.
