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

Go with Ezra! Grin

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!

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.

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.

Lemondrop99 · 16/06/2017 09:26

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

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

annandale · 16/06/2017 07:32

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.

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 16/06/2017 07:30

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.

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

Nice for a girl imo xx

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

ScarletSienna · 16/06/2017 06:29

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

MrsCornish · 16/06/2017 06:27

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

blahthisistoohard · 16/06/2017 05:35

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

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 16/06/2017 03:03

Not a fan sorry.

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