Asa or Ezra

[DottieRose]

Which do you prefer for a little boy?

Definitely Ezra.

Ezra, definitely. It's top of my list if we ever have another boy.

How is Asa pronounced?

Asa - AY-suh. Ace is a nice nickname.

Both nice Biblical names. I think Asa pips Ezra to the post by a whisker for me but I like them both.

The problem for me is that I like them both the same! Just can't decide. The pros for Asa is that it both looks and sounds nice but could there be ass jokes??? The pros for Ezra is it looks nice but not sure if it sounds nicer than Asa. Plus I have a son with an E name already....but that is not a deal breaker! Also my sons name is three letter so it may be nice to have two three letter names!

It looks like its pretty even between Asa and Ezra so far!!! Aaahhh!

Oh my, it just has to be Ezra. We have 2 DDs but if we were to have another child and it was a boy, Ezra would be a name I'd seriously consider.

That's the name for DS as far as I'm concerned! x

Um, that should have been your DS, not my potential, yet-to-be-even-thought-about-conceiving-DS!

Ezra is the better of the two IMHO although I've only ever taught very naughty Ezras so that would dissuade me

Ezra definately for me.

Asa is a girls' name in Sweden and is the name of my friend's mother in law, so to me it is very feminine.

I have a 7 month old called Ezra and I still love it. It means bringer of aid which is cool. My only annoyance is that I often have to repeat his name to people and people always ask if he's a girl. Grrr. Asa is lovely too but might throw even more pronunciation problems your way. Have you got a middle name?

Samuel will be the middle name after my father! Yeah I told a few people Ezra was a possibility and they seemed to have never heard of it which I find odd!

I think Asa is great name. My dd went to nursery with a very cool boy called Asa - I like how it sounds - like ace

I love Asa. beautiful name. Both nice though, good and strong

Both lovely names. Asa by a whisker.

2 of my fave and oldest friends have one each of these I like both! The boys are both 18 now and lovely so am prob biased.

Ezra is gorgeous, I love it.

Asa is also nice but I am not familiar with it.

Noddyholder.........do you know what kind of reactions your friends boys get to their names???

One was at school with my ds and I don't recall anyone commenting on it. I don't see ezra's mum she lives miles away so not sure. I think they are both lovely individual but not whacky

Both great, but go with Asa - there can't be a much cooler nn for a teenage boy that Ace!

Noddy that is what I like about them......not ten a penny but not totally out there!! And both are biblical which appeals to me as it gives them a nice sense of history!

Friends ds nn is Ash

well I would go with Asa.

but then I am biased

Oooh thisisyesterday.....do you have an Asa?? I am sooooo nosy but what kind of comments and reactions to you get to it?
