I love it!

It is the name of a character in my favourite play. Ezra Chater.

Ezra is the best name ever! I liked it ever since I was a little girl.

MortaIWombat · 28/06/2013 22:27

Very hipster!

Mintyy · 28/06/2013 22:15

I know 2 really gorgeous little boys called Ezra and I love the name!

cupcake78 · 28/06/2013 15:11

Never heard it but I like it!

RaRaZ · 28/06/2013 15:07

Oh. I thought it was a girls' name too and thought it was really pretty.... now you mention it, I have heard of it as a boys' name. Do you have a foreign connection? If, like the first poster to reply, there's a foreign connection, I think it's fine, but possibly a bit much for a British boy.

bugsybill · 28/06/2013 10:32

I wouldn't but that's because I love the girls name Isra.

FlyingUmbrella · 27/06/2013 22:33

I wanted to use it for DS but DH wasn't sure. I love it.

Just made me think Ezra Pound the US poet.

squoosh · 27/06/2013 16:40

Old man in cowboy films who has three teeth and likes to chew tobacco and say 'them injuns is comin'.

OddSockMonster · 27/06/2013 15:59

I know an Ezra (age 7). It really suits him and it's really grown on me.

DoodleAlley · 27/06/2013 15:53

I love it. Great boys name and surpassed Eli as my favourite after watching The Good Wife.

Nicknamegrief · 27/06/2013 15:43

I like it but know it only as a boys name.

Although I've met a few girl Noah's now! Spelt Noa but still.

KLou1105 · 27/06/2013 15:36

Sounds like a girls name but I like it

TeamJavert · 27/06/2013 14:50

I love it.

PipkinsPal · 27/06/2013 14:48

I read the book Downtime the other day and there is an Ezra in that. I love the name and loved the book.

I like the name, but from the title thought it was a girls name. Do really like the name though!
