Any opinions on Ezra?

[Ryuk]

DP really likes it. I'm worried it'll sound a bit too 'jewish' though, and that people will make assumptions about ds's background.

I do like it, so many old testament names e.g. Moses becoming more common in the general population, they seem to carry more gravitas, go for it!

Lovely name. However, Ezra Pound (defo most famous bearer of the name) was a wonderful poet and critic but also a facist. For this reason I would never use it (despite it being a GREAT name), but to others it wouldn't matter so much.

Imarriedafrog you are having another baby? Wonderful news! :)

Love the name Ezra. I went to school with this very crushworthy example, which helps

It's far too biblical for me I'm afraid.

Nice and easy to pronounce though, fairly phonetic.

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays- I like your name.

definite Ezra Pound/caged for fascism connotations. There is also an Ezra as part of the generally dark/odd/primitive Starkadder family in the classic novel Cold Comfort Farm. Other members of his family include Seth, Reuben, Amos, Urk, Caraway and Harkaway.
