my husband and I like these names. My husband does prefer Evren. Also the meaning behind Evren we love. But you don’t really see or hear that name very much. But I also keep seeing Ezra more. need help!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I agree, people will assume Evren is Evan, or Heaven. So my vote goes to Ezra. What about Enzo which is similar-ish?

We have thought of this name “Enzo” but my husband and I don’t overly like it all happy the meaning is different be to “Ezra” x

I think if you pick Evren, he is going to spend his life correcting “Evan?” and having to explain how to spell it. That’s the issue with uncommon names and personally if there’s a more well known alternative that you like nearly as much, I don’t think it’s worth the potential hassle. So I’d stick with Ezra.

That is true! Didn’t even think of that 😔

I think people will constantly be asking you/your son to repeat the name with Evren. I haven't heard that before.

I personally vote for Ezra.

That’s now the only thing putting me off the name “Evren” as I have to correct people for my daughters name 🙈

I like both, Evren is a name I’ve heard in Turkey before.

I have a foreign name, as do my kids and yes you do have to repeat it, but once people know they know, it’s not as big a deal as it’s often made out on here.

That said, because Evren feels familiar to me I would need the r rolled which is harder for English speakers (I have a rolled r in my name). But, if you are pronouncing it more like - Ev-run then I like Ezra.

But honestly, both will be fine.

I absolutely love the meaning behind the name, also because I have never heard it before especially for a boy, I would pronounce it “Ev” “Ren” unless I am saying it wrong

Never heard of Evren before. Ezra is the better of the two.
