It's for a boy! I like Polly for a girl or Juno.

You can't call a girl Ezra! It is a boy's name and lovely with it.

KLou1105 · 13/01/2014 12:11

I like both, is it for a boy or girl? I prefer Arlo for boy and Ezra for girl x

HopeS01 · 13/01/2014 10:28

Ezra! How on earth can people ask how you spell it? It's a wonderful biblical name and not at all feminine

Vikkijayne2507 · 12/01/2014 23:26

ezra as arlo sounds like how people from Harlow say it

RiojaHaze · 12/01/2014 22:52

I have an Arlo too and he's the only one around here!

So that gets my vote too Grin

JanePurdy · 12/01/2014 22:48

Ezra.

RoseHoney · 12/01/2014 21:28

How strange I was just asking OH the same question! Both are lovely but I did know a lady with a daughter called Ezra which kinda makes me think it's too feminine. My eldest sons name ends in an A though so don't think it's the a ending.
I'm leaning towards Arlo but I think both are gorgeous names! Smile

WowserBowser · 12/01/2014 21:10

I have an Arlo too! And Ezra was on our list.

I think Arlo is only well known on MN!

Squeakybeaky · 12/01/2014 21:02

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

MavisGrind · 12/01/2014 20:22

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

Ezra because of Ezra Chater. Love Tom Stoppard.

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.

Bakerof3pudsxx · 12/01/2014 19:29

Arlo

Another saying Ezra seems female

YouLoveItDoreen · 12/01/2014 19:29

Ezra gets my vote!

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

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)

Rollermum · 12/01/2014 19:22

Ezra is fab.

Alisvolatpropiis · 12/01/2014 19:19

Ezra.

redsquareyellowsquare · 12/01/2014 19:17

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

niknak888 · 12/01/2014 19:03

Ezra, great name!

MrsSteptoe · 12/01/2014 18:57

Arlo. Definitely.

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!
