ebenezer????

[patsdeadfrank]

am i wrong here or is this just a terrible name especially when you nickname him ezer.
it could of course be a generational thing but there is only one thing that pops in to my head.

Presumably you are thinking of the song by The Shamen?

Or are you thinking of Charles dickens?

Regardless, bad name.

Scrooge instantly comes to mind. Don't do it!

naughty naughty very naughty.

Blows whistle

Big box small box swimming fishies

I love you guys. Really really love you

He'll get called Sneezer by the other kids at school. Don't do it.

Shamen comes to mind (i am 41).

I know a 3 yo Eben though.

i am not doing it i am having a grin but i have heard a friend of a friend dealy has called her son this and his nn is ezer. i assumed it would be eb or something but no ezer!

i am having a girl even.

I think it'd be quite nice if it wasn't for the Scrooge thing. It's got quite a nice sound and like Eb, Eben, Ebby as a nn, but the connections are too strong and therefore cannot be used.

Ebenezer good? No. Ebenezer bad.

I had a distant Great-great-great grandfather called Ebenezer. Love it but no you can't. Sigh.

I had a distant great-uncle called Ebenezer. He called himself Ben.
