To be really annoyed at my friend?

[GoatsHaveStrangeEyes]

I may risk outing myself here but i have just seen her in the daily mail!

The daily fucking mail.

I am seriously considering de-friending her, i had no idea she read that shite so the fact she agreed to be in it

So is it the DM or the photography that bothers you?

I quite like Ezra for a girl. The photos are nice too though I can't imagine a time when I would invite a photographer into a delivery room.

you're just jealous and more than a bit attention seeking

those pictures are lovely

I'm sure your "friend" will be delighted you're slagging her off on line

where did you see the pictures if you don't buy the daily mail? its only a paper, if you don't like it don't buy it

Ezra here too!

The only Ezra that jumps to mind is Ezra Pound by Dickens and it's pretty sure Ezra's a boy.

A girl called Ezra? She'll get on fantastically with my little DD Steve.

She had linked to it through facebook, thats how i saw it.

And no i don't read it.

I agree the pictures are beautiful, never said anything different.

Maybe the person who wrote the story is freelance and sold story to highest bidder?

Prefer Ezra for a girl to Klaire with a K

Ezra Pound was a twentieth century modernist poet not a book by Dickens. The name Ezra is typically a boys name but also a variant spelling of Esra which is a very common girls name in Turkey. I know two women Ezra's. I am also not quite sure why it is wrong to get precious about pink for a girl/blue for a boy but OK to be snide about people choosing a boys name for a girl if they happen to like it.

They are lovely photographs. Please tug all your judgy-pants down or you'll get sore chafed parts.

I just watched This Morning on ITV+1 and the discussion of the day on The Hub was this very subject. I posted an AIBU thread about it.I haven't read thE DM for months. I can't bear to look.

i had a friend taking pictures through my birth.
they're not as good as that though.

I don't see the problem . It's not something I'd choose to do (either having the photos done, or being featured in a newspaper story!) but your reaction is weird IMO.

nymeria - i think it's the fact it was the daily fail more than the fact of doing the article.

this is Mumsnet.

oh dear, my judgy pants have cut off the circulation to my brain

Apologies to Ezra Pound and all other Ezras!

I think the name Ezra is wanky - just my opinion.

Yes, the pictures are nice and all that but what if something hadn't gone to plan? Some nice pics of an emergency c section?

Beautiful name, stunning pictures.

Don't quite understand the judgey pants responses.

Quite disappointing really.

Ezra for a girl is...unusual. It's a male Biblical name, isn't it?

But it's generally more socially acceptable to use a male name for a girl than a traditionally female name for a boy, and names with the 'a' ending tend to sound quite feminine (to English speakers) anyway.

I think I'd prefer Esra for a girl personally, as it's prettier IMO and less likely to lead to misunderstandings. Some of the sneery comments here are a bit unnecessary though...
