What do you think of....

The boys name Ira. Dh has suggested it but I'm not sure.

Thankyou

Makes me think of the author of the Stepford Wives, Ira Levin. Thats the only Ira I've ever heard of. Agree the IRA connection could be tricky though.

I think it is a lovely name, i did not make the connection with the IRA whatsoever & i am british, if you are worried this could be a common issue maybe you could spell it with a h on the end, Good luck picking a name :)

I love it, think Gershwin, don't think it's feminine at all. But, but...the IRA thing is clearly problematic, which is such a shame. How about Asa?

Baby is due Dec 20th. We already have Samuel, Joshua, and James in our family. The difficulty we have is that we have 12 nephews and 5 brothers between us, and we're not keen to repeat any of the nephew names! even though they are some of my favourites.

The only person I have ever met called Ira was a Russian woman - it was short for Irina and pronounced 'Eera'.

I'm from NI - Ira is the Irish Republican Army with capitalisation issues.

I like it. I think of Ira Gershwin.

I'd only think I.R.A. if it was in capitals.

I love it. I also love Ezra and Eli (Elias).I am not Jewish but just lI've these names.

I like it. Also like the Jewish name Asa.
