Any opinions on Ezra?

DP really likes it. I'm worried it'll sound a bit too 'jewish' though, and that people will make assumptions about ds's background.

That is the name we will be using for DS2 - we love it!

I really like Ezra. Always a boy's name IMO.

Isn't Ezra the name of the female baddy in the emperor's new groove?

Ok googled it and she was spelt Yzma. An awful lot of Jewish stuff came up on google first though..

We were going to call ds2 Ezra, but then he turned out to be dd. I think it's a fab name, and I think of it more as chapel Methodist than Jewish. I was also quite keen on the writings of Ezra Pound when I was a teenager, although he was a fairly terrible person in many ways.

We've also been asked 'isn't that a girl's name?', but as far as I know that was just the enquirer being easily confused.
